Has anyone seen the Pentair MagicBowl water bowl in person?

jza1736 · Jun 13, 2017

I'm thinking about adding these to my build, but I'd like to see them in person. Anybody see them up close or own them? Thought or impressions?

Those look cool! Any idea how much they cost?

jza1736 · Jun 13, 2017

700 for the bowls and 350 for the light engines

SpringPool · Jun 17, 2017

Looks like we are going to get these for our build some time in the next 2 months. Once I ordered and have them I'll post some video and pics.

jza1736 · Jun 17, 2017

If you get them before I do. Can you Please post a little review?

I spoke to a Pentair rep. They sent me some additional pics and gave me some general info. They weigh about 60 pounds, are made of a composite material and have a smooth finish.

Well the stubout for the bowls are in. PB still has the bowls. We went with the bronze color

Is that Sealtight? Or pvc for the electrical connection?

CJadamec · Jul 7, 2017

Looks like a single pvc long sweep 2 inch 90. The grey conduit defiantly isn't sealtight.

SpringPool · Jul 7, 2017

The grey conduit is a drain for the light engine area. There are 3 holes in the bowl two go below grade one for the water in the bowl and the other of the light. The 90 is just to ensure the light engine doesn't get flooded. When the PB drops the bowl and light engine off I'll take some more pictures.

That would be great. We are on vacation and coming back on Thursday. We will be ordering ours then. There was no rush, as we will be starting our build in August or September

The bowls are in and running. Pictures and videos in the link below post 64 & 65

Very nice! I Recieved mine Wednesday. Pool is starting in September, but the pavers and the wall the bowls will sit on will be done in the spring

Those bowls look cool.

Love the bowls so happy we ordered them now!

SpringPool · Aug 5, 2017

One piece of advice the bowl sits on the white base. The flange needs to be the same height as the finished coping. Ours is sunken a little less than a 1/4 in and in some spots can see some of the leds from below. The bowls are flat on the coping but it's stone so there's a small gap.

I'm going to put a bead of window caulk on the edge of the coping, let it dry and place the bowl on it sort of like a gasket.

jza1736 · Aug 5, 2017

Thanks for the advice, I will let the PB know when they install them.

Borillo · Aug 12, 2018

I was going through on line looking for info because we are redesigning our pool and planning on doing magic bowls. Have never seen in person, now as time as past it seems since your instal are you happy with them and would recommend? Any further advice?

GAC717 · Oct 7, 2018

Is there a maximum height these magic bowls should be set at?

jza1736 · Oct 7, 2018

Mine are sitting on 30" piers and I wouldnt go any higher than that. It is critical that the niche be set flush to the finished cap or 1/8" below. Definitely not above
