Design Points
• The Laminar arc can reach a maximum height of 2 meter and a distance of 2.5 meter.
• To achieve the maximum Laminar arc height, a water supply of 38 l/min with 5m of head
(measured at the Laminar) is required.
• Install the Laminar close to the edge of the pool to minimize water from splashing on the deck on
windy days.
• We advise to install the Laminar with a Clean & Clear™ Cartridge Filter or a sandfilter with
ClearPro Technology® to supply clean, filtered water to the Laminar.
• Use 32mm PVC pipe to supply the Laminar. On long pipe runs, calculate the pressure drop and
compensate by increasing the supply pressure.
• Install a 32mm ball or globe throttling valve on the water supply to EACH Laminar. When
installing more than one Laminar, Pentair recommends installing a throttling valve on the main
supply manifold.
• Install a 50mm drain line to the bottom of the Laminar deck housing and create a drain system to
prevent standing water.
NOTE: Proper drainage from the deck housing is critical to avoid damage to the Laminar Jet
assembly. Do not install the Laminar Jet deck housing in an area prone to runoff or flooding.
• The deck housing electrical connection (marked "Electrical" on the housing) is designed for
32mm PVC conduit. Create no more than 270º of turns in the conduit without an intermediate
pull box.
• The LED light engine comes with a 10 meter long 2-wire cable. Use a 220/12VAC-100 Watt
pool lighting transformer (purchased separately) powered with a GFCI breaker. Six Laminars
can be powered with one transformer.
• Mount the deck housing so that the water supply and electrical connections are located opposite
the intended direction of the Laminar stream.
