Fixed it. Reset them again, this time I rotated them each a bit and made sure the edges touched at every point. Thanks for the tip!

No obstructions. Thanks for the tip about the screens, they were all collapsed, I spread them out to each be between the notches, improved a lot but still has a bit of spray, versus the other jets which are crystal clear. The small spray also allows a bit of water to collect in the nozzle...

We just built a new pool and as part of the pool, we installed 3 Hayward Laminar Jets in our decking. Two of the laminars work really well, and have very clean streams. However, one of the laminars does not make a clean stream. At first I thought it was due to the agitator, so I turned it off...

Hey everyone, We are in the process of a new concrete pool build. We are planning on installing Hayward automation, but CMP water falls and Laminars. Given that I'm already going with CMP for the water features, I'm wondering if I should use CMP Brilliant Wonder for the pool lights, or if we...

We just signed our pool contract, which will start construction in April. We have most of the details sorted out, but have not made a final decision on automation or pool pumps. For Pool, Spa, Bubblers + waterfall, we have 2 3HP pumps, and a 2.7 HP waterfall pump planned. Looking at the...

They Hayward automation does look better in terms of UI and features, probably because it's newer? I think I'm sold on the Pentair VS pumps, as I've heard great things about reliability, Hayward mentions this on compatbility: "Pentair IntelliFlo VS Pumps Support - Ability to control Pentair...

Thanks for the response. In regards to the lights, do you not need to use the same brand of lights as the controller? I assumed that for colors to work, you would need to have the brand that you use for automation. Also, with the IntelliCenter, how is the app and web experiences? I saw a...

Hey everyone, in the process of building a 40x16 pool, with built-in hot-tub and shelf. We are in northern california with a lot of tree cover, so will have an automatic cover over the pool and have it closed at all times when not in use. This is my second pool, we built a pool in our old...
