    ® Selecting a MagicStream Laminar show mode or fixed color using an IntelliBrite ® Controller Instead of using a wall switch, MagicStream ® Laminars can controlled with the IntelliBrite Controller (P/N 600054, sold separately). The IntelliBrite controller provides complete control of your MagicStream laminars when in IntelliBrite Mode.

  • Page 13: Installing Magicstream Laminar (New Pool Construction)

    INSTALLING MAGICSTREAM ® LAMINAR (NEW POOL CONSTRUCTION) The following describes how to install the MagicStream ® Laminar. Mechanical Installation Dig a hole measuring 24” deep and 24” square and place the deck housing in it. This will allow enough room to connect the supply piping and electrical conduit.
  • Page 14 Note: It is recommends that the system pressure test be performed after the deck housing is mounted to the supply piping. Plug the flex line in the housing by disconnecting the union between the deck housing and the Laminar. Using one of the Laminar adjustment nuts, secure the winterization cap to the supply side of the union.
  • Page 15 Connect both (2) wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box or 12 Volt AC Transformer and secure the Junction Box cover in place. Install the MagicStream laminar assembly into the MagicStream laminar housing and tighten the two screws provided.

    ® MAGICSTREAM LAMINAR SETUP AND OPERATION This section describes how to set up and operate the MagicStream ® Laminar. Once the deck is finished, flush any debris from the supply pipe using the pump and filter system that supplies the laminar. Note: Any debris in the laminar will hinder its ability to produce a turbulence-free stream.
  • Page 26 Make sure the spare o-rings are in place. Place the union winterization plugs in the laminar adjustment nuts and screw them in place on the laminar body (Figure 5). Connect the laminar to the supply pipe with the union connection (Figure 5). Make sure the o-ring stays in its groove.

  • Page 27: Light Enhancer Adjustment

    Light Enhancer Setup (darkness required) You may want to vary the intensity of the light when using the LED to light the laminar stream. You can adjust the light intensity by means of the light enhancer. The light enhancer uses a very small stream of water to add very small bubbles to the stream.
