Our dig is Thursday and one last issue to work through with our PB is shelf depth. We would like it 9" deep (water depth) but are being told our 3 bubblers will be ineffective at that depth and that 6" is the preferred water depth. There are many members on this forum who have no other water features besides bubblers being run on a single pool vs pump who can control the height of their bubblers +/- 2 feet. Our bubblers are standard 1.5" bubblers.

What can we do to get the depth we'd like while still maintaining effectiveness of the bubblers? Add a valve actuator? Dedicate a second pump? Change the plumbing?

Any help is greatly appreciated as our shelf is very large (8x12) so we'd like to get it the depth we want without sacrificing our only water feature. Thanks!

Hi we just finished our pool and have very similar situation. Large shelf 6x12 9” water and have 2 bubblers on the shelf and a third one on a ledge with a 1.5HP dedicated pump. They are Pentair colorvision bubblers. I have to turn almost close off the dampers or they shoot up too high and cause massive turbulence. We are getting swirling off and on with the bubblers due to turbulence. I was advised to add the rubber nozzle attachment to help with swirling. Wondering how your bubblers are working now and if you have any advice.

thanks!

Here is a bump to get more eyes on this.

Following. We are getting a 6" deep shelf with one bubbler but wanted closer to 8". If the deeper water creates a problem then maybe we are good with just 6"

I had found an old thread and couldn’t post on it, but luckily the guy is still fairly active so I messaged him.
