Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and
instructions in this guide. Failure to follow warnings and instructions
can result in severe bodily injury, or property damage.
Serious bodily injury can result if these lights are not installed
and used correctly.
Installers, pool operators, and pool owners must read these warning
and all instructions before using these lights.
These lighted LED Laminars must be installed by a licensed or
certied electrician or a qualied pool professional in accordance
with the National Electric Code (NEC) or Canadian Electric Code
(CEC), CSA C22.1.
All applicable local installation codes and ordinances must also be
adhered to. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard
which could result in serious injury to pool users, installers, or
others due to electric shock. Always disconnect power to the pool
lights before servicing.
WARNING
NOTICE
NOTICE
Turn o power to light before installation/service. CMP Laminars are
equipped with a low voltage light and should never be electrically
connected to a power source other than an approved pool “Safety
Rated,” UL listed, outdoor rated, 12 VAC transformer. Failure to
comply will either damage or destroy the light and will void the
warranty.
No separate ground or bonding wire is required. The Laminars
have no exposed metal. They do not require a niche.
Save these instructions. This installation and user guide contains
important information about the installation, operation, and safe
use of this swimming pool/spa light. This guide should be given
to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.

2. GENERAL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 WATER SOURCE MUST BE FILTERED
The Laminar water supply must be ltered
by a cartridge lter (do not use a sand lter)
and be installed with a check valve. For up to
four laminar jet installations use a dedicated
lter that is a minimum of 50 sq-ft such as the
CMP lter 25504-600-000.
2.2 PUMP
The required minimum pump ow for each
laminar is listed in the table below:
Laminar Jet Water Volume and Pressure Chart
Gallons (U.S. gpm)2.53.03.5
Inlet Pressure (psi)3.85.06.5
Height Estimate (ft)234
Throw Estimate (ft)34.56
*Estimates will vary depending on plumbing setup.
2.3 PLUMBING
WARNING
It is extremely
important that the water supply line
to each Laminar must be ushed so
that all debris material inside the line
is removed prior to being installed
into the Laminar. Foreign material
and debris will negatively aect the
performance of the fountain.
Use only ABS-PVC glue when making conduit
connections to this canister. Each Laminar
installed requires its own ball valve to adjust
ow on each line such as the CMP Ball Valve
25800-151-000.
2.4 LED LIGHT MODULE
The 12V LED light module oers vibrant
lighting and can be synced with a variety
of pool lighting products for the major
manufacturers. Reference the color
sync guide in the back portion of these
instructions.
2.5 CRITICAL PLACEMENT DIMENSIONS
The maximum lighted distance of the laminar
stream should be considered 4 feet in height
and 6 feet in distance. If the laminar arc is
over 4 feet high there is a good chance that
the lighting will not travel the full distance to
the bottom of the laminar ow. If the throw
distance is over 6 feet the lighting will also fail
to go the full distance through the laminar
stream. Be sure the distance from the interior
pool wall to the Laminar is no further than 3
feet.
3/4” WATER INLET
Each laminar jet requires a 1” PVC entering
the deck canister. A check valve, such as CMP
Hydroseal 25830-704-000, should be installed
as far away from the laminar jet canister as
possible to minimize water turbulence. The
laminar canister is made from ABS material.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 DECK CANISTER INSTALLATION
NOTE: Prior to installation, make sure the
opening on the Laminar canister lid is facing
toward the desired target location in the
pool. Make sure the deck canister is no more
than 5’ from the interior pool wall.
1. Dig a hole for the deck canister
approximately 24” deep and 18” in
diameter. This will ensure enough room for
positioning the canister and laying out the
plumbing. This depth will also allow for an
additional layer of pea gravel for stability
and extra drainage.
2. Set the deck canister in the hole. For “in-
deck” applications - level the top edge of
the lid to be ush with the nished deck
after the decking material is poured. For
planter areas - level the lid to be 2” above
the landscape area to prevent debris from
washing into the laminar jet.
3. Level the deck canister. To hold the
canister in place while the deck is poured
or installed, secure canister by placing the
center stake socket on a 1” pipe or use
rebar sockets on the side of the canister.
4. Plumb the incoming ltered water supply
to the 1” inlet on the side of the deck
canister, which is marked “WATER.”
canister marked “ELECTRICAL.” It is highly
recommended to use sweep ttings for
ease of installation.
6. Plumb the 1" drain line to the drain
socket. Adequate drainage must be
provided for the deck canister.
NOTE: Proper drainage for the deck
canister is critical to avoid damage to
laminar jet assembly.
7. Verify the canister is level.
8. Fill excavated area with gravel until gravel
reaches 1" up from the bottom of the deck
canister.
9. Finish pouring/installing deck material.
10. Do not remove clear protective lm on the
deck canister lid until after the pool deck
has been installed. This is intended to keep
foreign debris from damaging or clogging
the Laminar.

WINTERIZATION
4.1 PREPARING THE LED LIGHT
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Ensure that the pool meets
requirements of the National Electric Code
and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed
and certied electrician must install the
electrical system.
1. The low voltage transformer must be
located at least 8 inches above the water
level, at least 4 inches above the ground
level, and at least 4 feet from the edge of
the pool.
2. All metal items within 5 feet of the pool
must be properly electrically bonded to a
reliable point of grounding.
4.2 WINTERIZATION STEPS FOR AREAS
WITH FREEZING CONDITIONS
1. Remove canister lid.
2. Carefully loosen and separate the garden
hose union on the water supply line inside
the deck canister.
3. Disconnect the male and female wire
connectors.
4. Blow water lines clear.
5. Remove jet body assembly and then
pour out remaining water from the body
by rotating it in all directions. Continue
dumping water until all water is removed.
3. Connect the male and female wire
connectors.
4. Feed cord through conduit from the
Laminar to the low voltage transformer.
Leave about 3 feet of cord coiled in the
bottom of the deck canister so that the
unit can be easily serviced.
5. Connect all wiring to the low voltage
transformer. Install cover for the
transformer.
6. Test to make sure the light functions and
the wiring has been done correctly.
6. Store jet body and all attachment
hardware together in a safe, dry location.

P-STYLE COLOR SELECTION AND SYNC INSTRUCTIONS
The P-STYLE Laminar Lights can be controlled using a standard wall-mount light switch. Multiple lights can
be connected via a junction box to a single switch so that all lights can be switched ON and OFF together.
P-STYLE Lights are controlled by cycling the AC power from a standard wall switch. By turning the switch ON
and OFF a specic number of times, the light activates one of the seven (7) light show modes, xed colors,
and enables the “Hold” and “Recall” feature.
The P-STYLE Laminar Light is preprogrammed with seven light show modes (1-7) and ve xed color
modes (8-12). For saving color eects during the “show” modes the light also includes and “Hold” and
“Recall” feature (13-14).
