Introduction

The Hayward Water Bowl is a bowl-shaped water feature containing an LED light that together create a stunning flickering fire effect designed to enhance your backyard pool or spa experience. The Water Bowl must be installed as specified by these instructions. Please follow ALL of the instructions enclosed with this unit. It is recommended to keep the unit in its original packaging until the site is prepared for installation.

What’s Included
Refer to the table and graphic below for a list of all items included with the Hayward Water Bowl.

Installation

Preparation
Determine the install location(s) for the Water Bowl. Be sure to follow all NEC and local codes during installation. For optimal performance, the lip of the bowl should be aligned with or slightly hanging over the edge of the pool or spa. The electrical junction box and/or low voltage transformer should be located at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool or spa and at least 4 inches above ground and 8 inches above the bowl’s water level. Once you have determined the install location(s), gather all necessary tools and refer to the following sections to rough-in plumbing and electrical lines.

Overview
Refer to the diagram on the following page for a basic installation overview. Note that the plumbing for the Water Bowl requires a check valve to prevent drain off when the system is not in use. A flow control valve should also be used in order to obtain the optimal water effect in the bowl.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

Use individual flow control valves for bowls plumbed at different distances.

Use looped plumbing for bowls plumbed at the same distance

Plumbing
Before installing the Water Bowl, rough-in plumbing pipe and electrical conduit. Refer to the diagram below for niche dimensions.

1. Step 1: Rough-in water supply line (A) plumbing run using 11/2″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
2. Step 2: Rough-in drain line (B) plumbing run using 1″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
3. Step 3: Rough-in electrical line (C) plumbing run using 1″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
4. Step 4: Solvent bond niche to the water line, drain line, and electrical line pipes using PVC glue.
5. Step 5: Backfill the cavity around the niche up to the flange as shown in the diagram below.
6. Finish plumbing water line, electrical line, and drain line as shown in the overview diagram on page 3.

Electrical Wiring
The Water Bowl’s LED Light requires the use of a low voltage transformer (not included). See chart below to determine the type of transformer you will need based on the number of LED Lights used. When considering the number transformers required, note that one LED Light is 25W and the load on a transformer should not exceed 80% of the maximum wattage.

NOTE : Any lights wired to the same transformer will run together. If independent operation is desired, then each light or group of lights will require their own separate transformer and relay.

Wiring Overview
Refer to the wiring overview diagram below and the steps on the following pages for wiring instructions.

1. Step 1: Running the Cable
   With the niche now installed, it is time to run the wiring cable from the LED light to the junction box or low voltage transformer. Note that the maximum cable length between the Water Bowl niche and the low voltage transformer should not exceed 150 feet. Cable runs that are 100 feet or less should use 14 gauge wire and more than 100 feet should use 12 gauge wire. Feed the cable through the electrical line until you have about 12-24 inches of service loop in the niche. At the junction box/ transformer, cut the extra cord leaving enough for wiring. If using an optional junction box – run the cable from the junction box to the low voltage transformer. Cut the extra cord at both the junction box and the transformer leaving enough for wiring. Run the cable from the power source – either a manual wall switch or an Omni control relay – to the low voltage transformer. Cut the extra cord at both ends leaving enough for wiring.

2. Step 2: Junction Box Wiring (optional)
   A junction box is useful if multiple Water Bowl LED Lights will be wired together. To make connections easier, it is recommended to use Wago 221 Series lever nuts (pictured in graphic to the right) but standard electrical wire nuts can also be used.

3. Step 3: Low Voltage Transformer Wiring
   Refer to the following graphic when using a Hayward 300W transformer. For other transformers, refer to their included instructions. Be sure to follow all NEC and local codes when wiring.

4. Step 4: Power Control Wiring
   When wiring to a wall switch, follow the directions in the manual provided with that product. When wiring to an Omni control relay or an Omni Smart Relay, refer to the graphics below. Be sure to follow all NEC and local codes when wiring.

5. Step 5: Set LED Light in Niche
   With wiring complete, the LED light is ready to be set in the niche. Seal the gap around the power cable in the electrical line in the niche using the rubber grommet that is pre-installed on the power cable. Once sealed, gently set the LED light assembly onto the ribs in the niche so it is seated properly.
   IMPORTANT : Since the bowl will rest on top of this surface, make sure that the LED light assembly is seated properly so it is not damaged.

Bowl Installation

Refer to graphic below and the following steps for bowl installation.

1. Step 1 – For Glass Bowl Installations:
   When installing a glass bowl, the use of a base pad is recommended to prevent damage to the bowl. Place the base pad over the niche collar as shown on the following page. For square bowl installations, make sure that the edge of the base pad is aligned with the edge of the pool deck.

2. Step 2: Use PVC glue on the inside of the bulkhead assembly and around the center of the water supply pipe. Be careful not to get any glue on the LED light. With two people, carefully lower the bowl and bulkhead assembly over the niche pipe so it rests firmly on the niche flange.

3. Step 3: Screw the water spout assembly into the bulkhead assembly in the center of the bowl as shown above.

Operation

When operating the Water Bowl, it is recommended to keep the water flow between 15-20 GPM, but the gpm can vary as the ideal water effect is up to the user’s personal preference. See chart below for gpm range.

Manual Control
Turn on power to the pump controlling the Water Bowl system as well as the switch for the LED light(s). Adjust the flow control valve(s) until the ideal water effect is achieved in the bowl.
When using a wall switch to control the light, the light must be set to UCL (Universal ColorLogic) mode. This will allow the light to be controlled through power-cycling. The light should already be set to UCL mode from the factory but if the light mode needs to be set, see the procedure on page 12. To activate the light, simply turn on the switch powering the transformer. To deactivate the light, turn off the switch. To advance to the next light program (fixed color or color show), turn the switch off, then back on again within 10 seconds. When the light has been off for over 60 seconds, and is first turned on, it will come on in white for 15 seconds for quick clear view of your pool, then go to the last fixed color or color show that was running. Note: Do not power cycle the light during the first 15 seconds of white to preclude risk of loss of synchronization with other connected lights. When in UCL mode, the light has the capability to display 17 different programs; 10 fixed colors and 7 color-changing shows. These programs are advanced using power-cycling − quickly toggling power to the light. The programs are listed below:

1. Show-Voodoo Lounge
2. Fixed-Deep Blue Sea
3. Fixed-Royal Blue
4. Fixed-Afternoon Skies
5. Fixed-Aqua Green

If you have multiple lights running together and they become out of sync, you can resync the lights by following the steps below:

1. Turn lights on.
2. Turn off light for between 11-15 seconds,.
3. Turn lights on.

Omni Automation Control

When using an Omni controller, the light can be set to Omni Direct mode which allows for direct toggling to the selected show/color as well as 10 additional fixed color options, brightness control, and speed control. Refer to the Configuration section of your Omni controller manual for instructions on configuring a light and configuring a water feature. Note that the light mode can be changed from the configuration menu of the Omni control, but if the mode needs to be changed manually, follow the procedure on the following page. When configuration is complete, turn on the water feature from the Omni controller. Adjust the flow control valve until the ideal water effect is achieved in the bowl. To activate the light from the Omni control, simply navigate to the light menu and press the on/off. The light show can also be changed from this menu, schedules can be set, and the brightness and speed of the light can be adjusted. When the light has been off for over 60 seconds, and is first turned on, it will come on in white for 15 seconds for quick clear view of your pool, then go to the last fixed color or color show that was running. Note: Do not power cycle the light during the first 15 seconds of white to preclude risk of loss of synchronization with other connected lights.
