Section 2. General Installation
Requirements
This document gives instructions for installing the
Jandy Laminar Jet with LED Lights. Read through the
instructions completely before starting the procedure. The
laminar jet is designed to provide a clear, adjustable stream
of water that arcs high up and out into the pool.
The laminar jet comes with a built-in LED light module
or a fi ber optic module that accepts lighted fi ber optics.
These light sources light the arc of water creating a
dazzling nighttime effect. This unique water feature is
easily installed and multiple jets can be combined to create
spectacular water entertainment.
To properly install this product please review the following
installation and maintenance instructions.
2.1

Water Source

The laminar jet water supply line must be fi ltered by a
cartridge fi lter (do not use a sand fi lter). If you are using
a dedicated fi lter - it must be a minimum of 20 sq-ft. For
multiple jet installations, use a minimum of 100 sq-ft, such
as the Jandy CS100 fi lter.
2.2

Pump

The required minimum pump fl ow for each laminar jet is
shown in the table below:

Gallons (U.S. gpm) 7.5
Inlet Pressure (psi) 9.5
Height of Jet (ft) 5
2.3

Plumbing

Each laminar jet requires a 1½ to 2 inches PVC main feed
line with 1 inch PVC entering the deck canister. A check
valve is also required and should be placed as far from the
deck canister as possible to minimize water turbulence.
Refer to Figures 1 and 2, and Table 1.
2.4

LED Light Module

The 12V LED light module offers vibrant lighting in nine
(9) brilliant colors and fi ve (5) festive color shows that
can be controlled manually, by the AquaLink
System (Rev O or newer) or by the Jandy PDA Control
System (Rev 4.0 or newer). The light module can provide
up to 50,000 hours of light and can be synchronized with
Jandy's Pool and Spa LED lights and operates on less than
25 watts of power.
2.5

Conduit/Fiber Optics Module

If installing fi ber optics, each laminar jet will require 100 to
150 strand fi ber optic cable. One hundred-fi fty strand cable
is recommended due to the enhanced lighting effects.

Critical Placement Dimensions

The laminar jet can project a maximum of 7 feet up and 8
feet out into the water. Therefore, ensure the installation is
no more than 6 feet from the inside edge of the pool.
NOTE To avoid water spray on the deck in high wind
areas, place the laminar jet closer to the edge
of the pool.
NOTE The deck canister lid can only rotate
approximately 90 degrees to the left or the
right. Therefore, make sure that the deck
canister is positioned towards the desired target
location (see Section 3) prior to completing the
installation.
