Introduction
The MagicStream
®
Laminar provides a clear, turbulence-free stream of water that can
be lit for a dazzling nighttime effect. The 12 VAC powered LED light engine is capable
of generating a series of multicolored light shows, or can be set to display a continuous,
single color. If desired, the built-in solenoid “thumper” can create a random “wrinkle,” in
the Laminar’s stream, causing it to display a brilliant spot of light that moves along the
stream’s arc. The light enhancer can be adjusted to maximize the light in the arc. The
MagicStream laminar comes equipped with an ABS deck housing for easy installation in a
deck surface, or in the landscaping surrounding the pool, fountain, or spa.

120/12VAC-100 Watt or 300 Watt pool lighting transformer (purchased
separately) powered with a GFCI breaker. Six Laminars can be
powered with one 100 Watt transformer. Up to 14 laminars may be
powered with one 300 Watt transformer. Follow all current National
Electric Code (NEC) and local codes to determine the placement of the
transformer.
Note: Proper drainage from the deck housing is critical to avoid
damage to the laminar jet assembly. Do not install the Laminar Jet
deck housing in an area prone to runoff or flooding.
