General Installation Requirements

This document provides 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 fiber optic module that accepts lighted fiber 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 filtered by a cartridge filter (do not use a sand filter). If you are using a dedicated filter – it must be a minimum of 20 sq-ft (1.85 m 2 ). For multiple jet installations, use a minimum of 100 sq-ft (9.3 m2 ), such as the Jandy CS100 filter.
2.2 Pump
The required minimum pump flow for each laminar jet is shown in the table below:

Laminar Jet Water Volume and Pressure Chart

Gallons (US gpm/lpm)| 7.5 /28| 30-Aug| 8.5/32
Inlet Pressure (psi)| 9.5| 10.3| 11
Height of Jet (ft/m)| 5/1.5| 6/1.8| 7/2.1

2.3 Plumbing
Each laminar jet requires a 1½ to 2 in (38 – 50 mm) PVC main feed line with 1 in (25 mm) 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.
2.4 LED Light Module
The 12V LED light module offers vibrant lighting in nine (9) brilliant colors and five (5) festive color shows that can be controlled manually, by the AquaLink ® RS Control System (Rev O or newer) or by the Jandy PDA Control System (Rev 4.0 or newer). The light module 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 fiber optics, each laminar jet will require 100 to 150 strand fiber optic cable. One hundred-fifty strand cable is recommended due to the enhanced lighting effects.
2.6 Critical Placement Dimensions
The laminar jet can project a maximum of 7 feet (2.1 m) up and 8 feet (2.4 m) out into the water. Therefore, ensure the installation is no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) 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 Installing the Deck Canister) prior to completing the installation.

Therefore, make sure that the deck canister is positioned towards the desired target location prior to completing the installation.

1. Dig the hole for the deck canister approximately 24 inches deep and 18 inches in diameter (60 cm deep, 45 cm diameter). This will ensure enough room for positioning the canister and laying out the plumbing. The dimensions allow for the addition of a layer of pea gravel, about 1/8 to 1/4″ size (3-6 mm), for drainage, as well as room to pour concrete around the outside of the canister for stability.
   NOTE: Proper drainage for the deck canister is critical to avoid damage to the laminar jet assembly.

2. Lift up the lid and jet assembly and adjustable deck lid collar from the deck canister.
   NOTE: To ensure that the canister stays upright while installing and leveling the unit, place a 6 inch (15 cm) length of 1 inch (25.4 mm) PVC pipe in the stake-up socket feature located on the bottom of the canister.

3. Set the deck canister in the hole. The canister should be approximately 1½-2 inches (38-50 mm) above the finished grade in the planter.
   NOTE: Unlike the in-deck installation, the deck canister cover cannot be flush with the finished grade. It must sit slightly above the surface to prevent water and debris from seeping into the canister.

4. Level the deck canister. To hold the canister in place, position a 6 inch piece (15 cm) of 1 inch (25.4 mm) PVC pipe in the construction support socket located on the bottom of the canister.

5. Plumb the incoming, filtered water supply to the 1 inch (25.4 mm) hub located on the bottom of the deck canister marked “Inlet”. The filtered water supply must include a check valve.

6. Plumb the conduit for the fiber/LED cable to the 1 inch (25.4 mm) hub located on the bottom of the deck canister marked “Electrical”. Refer to fiber optic installation instructions.

7. Plumb in the 1½ inch (38 mm) drain line located on the bottom of the deck canister. Adequate drainage must be provided for the canister.

8. Fill in the hole surrounding the deck canister with concrete or suitable backfill material for stability in the ground.

9. Place the adjustable deck lid collar back on the canister.

3.3 Pressure Test Water Lines

WARNING
The maximum operating pressures for pumps, filters, and other equipment are specified in their individual installation/operating instructions. Never subject the system to test or operating pressures exceeding these specifications.

4.4 Twelve (12) Volt Transformer Installation
The laminar jet with LED lights requires the use of a 120/12VAC-100 watt low voltage lighting transformer.
NOTE: For optimum performance Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends using one transformer per 12-volt laminar jet. However, it is possible to power up to 4 laminar jets with one 200 watt transformer.
To ensure maximum safety, the transformer used to power the laminar jet with LED lights must be one that is listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) for the application.
NOTE: If the pool already has a low voltage transformer powering the pool and/or spa lights, do not use the same transformer to power the laminar jet with LED lights. This is to ensure that the laminar jet’s LED lights are only turned on when the laminar jet pump is running.

Laminar Jet with Fiber Optic Module Installation (Use with JLFBR Series)

5.1 Items Required
The tools and supplies necessary for installation of the  fiber optic module:

use more than 40 feet (12 m) of cable per nozzle as light output will be diminished.
Illuminator| Use illuminator with sufficient capacity of lighting effect intended
Additional, Materials| Electrical tape; Silicon (RTV)

5.2 Installation

1. Remove 6 inches (15 cm) of the cable jacket.

2. Using black electrical tape, tightly tape over the exposed fiber leaving approximately ½ inch (13 mm) exposed fiber at the end of the cable. The tape prevents the individual fibers from separating.

3. With a hot knife, cut the fiber optic cable so that the cable end is a flat surface. For best results, heat knife to cherry red.
   NOTE: Do not cut the fiber ends too close to the taped edge. Leave a ¼ inch (6 mm) distance between the cable end and the end of the taped edge. This will prevent adhesive on the tape from melting and getting on the ends of the fiber optic strands.

4. Slide the completed fiber optic cable through the Heyco ® waterproof fitting and up the tube  (located at the bottom of the jet) until the cable bottoms out on the lens inside unit. Secure the fiber by tightening the waterproof fitting. Heyco is a registered trademark of Heyco Products, Inc.
   NOTE: Allow at least four (4) feet (1.2 m) of extra fiber optic cable in the deck canister to allow the laminar jet to be easily removed.

5. Fill the electrical conduit between the opening and the fiber optic cable with RTV silicon to prevent water from entering the conduit. Let dry. The unit is now ready for operation.

6. Install illuminator and attach fiber optic cable according to instructions supplied with the illuminator.

Starting the System

6.1 Install Jet Assembly

1. Disconnect the pressure cap that is installed on the flexible PVC hose.
   NOTE: The system should be pressure tested before starting the system.

2. Flush water lines to clear debris. Lines must be clear of debris before attaching the laminar jet assembly.
   NOTE: The finger screen is installed in the fitting under the cap. Remove the finger screen when flushing the line and reinstall the screen before installing the laminar jet assembly.

3. Connect the nut on the flexible hose of the laminar jet assembly and the threaded union of the flexible hose attached to the deck jet canister.

6.2 Set up Jet

1. Place the jet assembly into the canister and align the mounting brackets to the collar.

2. Ensure the flow adjustment valve is open by turning it counter-clockwise until it stops with a screw driver or a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) socket wrench.

3. Turn on the water at a reduced rate and slowly fill the unit. When the unit is filled, increase the water supply until the jet stream reaches its intended target. Figure 10. Laminar Jet Light and Flow Adjustment

4. Use the flow adjustment valve to make final adjustments to the overall water height of the jets.
   NOTE: Laminar jets are sensitive to wind, earth movement and equipment vibration. Secure the laminar jet and deck canister to minimize vibration. Periodic stream distortion caused by pump vibrations and motor electrical fluctuations is normal and not indicative of a nozzle defect. Also, occasionally a nozzle will “burp” due to pumped air collecting in the nozzle body. This is normal and will occur until all air is purged from the piping system. Trapped air can also cause slight distortion in water action. It is imperative that all air is removed to ensure proper water feature operation.

5. To adjust the angle of the jet move the laminar jet up or down to increase or decrease the angle by hand or using a screwdriver in the angle adjustment slot.
   NOTE: The angle can be adjusted approximately 10°.

6. The laminar jet is installed on two (2) pivots. Loosen the locking screws to adjust the jet angle. Once you are satisfied with the angle and location of the jet, tighten the locking screws.

7. Secure the deck canister lid to the deck canister collar, using two (2) #10 by 1½ inch (38 mm), Phillips flat head stainless steel screws.

Figure 11. Locking Screw Location
NOTE: It is recommended to drill 1/8″ (3 mm) pilot holes in the lid. Then the screws can be threaded into the holes. This will complete the installation and secure the jet from movement.

Operating the Laminar Jet with LED Light

7.1 To Operate the Light and Change Colors

Turn the light ON. The first time the light is turned on, the color sequence begins with the Alpine White. To change the color, turn the light OFF and then ON within three (3) seconds. Continue turning OFF and ON until the desired light color mode is reached.
Table 2. Jandy Laminar Jet with LED Lights Sequence

NOTE: When the light is turned OFF for more than seven (7) seconds, it will remain in the color set that is currently active. When the light is turned  back ON, the light will be on the same color set.

7.2 To Reset to the Beginning of the Color Sequence
Turn the light OFF, wait four (4) to six (6) seconds, then turn ON, the light will return to the beginning of the color cycle (Alpine White).
NOTE: If an AquaLink ® RS control system is being used the color set can be selected using the controller.
NOTE: To synchronize colors on multiple Jandy Water Colors light systems and Jandy Laminar Jets with LED Lights wired to separate switches, preform the above actions on all of the switches simultaneously. All Jandy Water Colors lights and Jandy Laminar  Jet with LED lights will synchronize automatically if activated by the same switch. No other accessories are required.

Light Intensity Set Up

8.1 Light Intensity Adjustment Set
NOTE: The LED light intensity can be adjusted to your preference. Increased water stream flow will cause a greater disturbance of the laminar jet stream and create a more intense light.

1. Use the light intensity adjustment screw attached to the scratcher to adjust the light intensity.
2. To increase the light intensity, turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the water stream coming out of the scratcher. This water stream disturbs the surface of the laminar jet flow causing an increase in the light intensity.

Figure 12. Scratcher Assembly and Light Intensity Adjustment Screw
NOTE: Laminar jets are sensitive to wind, earth movement and equipment vibration. Secure the laminar jet and deck canister to minimize vibration. Periodic stream distortion caused by pump vibrations and motor electrical fluctuations is normal and not indicative of a nozzle defect. Also, occasionally a nozzle will “burp” due to pumped air collecting in the nozzle body. This is normal and will occur until all air is purged from the piping system. Trapped air can also cause slight distortion in water action. It is imperative that all air is removed to ensure proper water feature operation.

General Maintenance and Troubleshooting

CAUTION
The light engine assembly in the Jandy Laminar jet is sealed and therefore contains no serviceable parts. In order to prevent risk of property damage and/or injury, no service should be attempted to the light engine assembly in the event of a malfunction. The complete light engine assembly must be replaced.
Perform routine maintenance on the filter to ensure trouble-free nozzle operation. Be careful not to allow debris to enter the inlet plumbing when cleaning filters.
NOTE: Always flush lines after cleaning and backwash of filters.

9.1 Clogged Finger Screen

1. If the finger screen becomes clogged with debris causing the stream to be distorted, remove the laminar jet assembly by unscrewing the two (2) deck canister lid retaining screws.
2. Remove the deck canister lid and the jet assembly and place on the deck. Disconnect the union located on the flexible hose attached to the bottom of the jet assembly.
3. Remove the finger screen from the union and clean with a garden hose.
   NOTE: Avoid damage to the nozzle opening.
   After clean up, reinstall the unions.

9.2 Winterization
The laminar jet can be winterized in regions that require winterization.

1. Remove the deck canister lid assembly and unscrew the ½ inch ( 13 mm) union.
2. Thread the cap on the flexible hose attached to the deck canister. The laminar jet can then be replaced in the deck canister or may be removed to a storage location. If left in the deck canister, tape over the slot opening to ensure no water will enter the system. If fiber optic cable is used, be sure to remove the retaining nut on the waterproof fitting on the bottom of the jet assembly.
