Pentair MAGICSTREAM LAMINAR Guide D'installation page 4

The MagicStream Laminar is designed to provide a clear, turbulence-free stream of water that can
®
be lit with a LED light engine for a dazzling nighttime effect. The 12 VAC powered LED light engine
is capable of generating a series of multicolored light shows, or can be set to display a continuous,
single color.
If desired, the built-in solenoid "thumper" can create a random "wrinkle," in the Laminar's stream,
causing it to display a brilliant spot of light that moves along the stream's arc. The patented light
enhancer can be adjusted to maximize the light in the arc.
The MagicStream Laminar comes equipped with an ABS deck housing for easy installation in a deck
surface, or in the landscaping surrounding the pool, fountain, or spa.
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.
