    Nearing the end!

    Hey all, Ive posted some issues I have had in the past during this prolonged build. 38x16 FG Latham pool went in last July, along with a semicircle tanning ledge, and now just finishing due to PB not ordering things in time and then dealing with supply chain issues. Overall very pleased...

    Pentair MagicStream Laminar Deck too darn loud

    Had the same issue, PB planning some fine tuning. Can you explain to me what exactly the "thumper" is and it's purpose?

    Pentair Magicstream laminars

    Did that fix your issue? Just had ours run and having the same issue. Makes it nearly all the way unbroken but definitely breask up towards the end and gets loud. Louder than my (2) 3' Brilliant Wonders 2 LED waterfalls

    LED Waterfall wiring

    I just got two of these installed on my tanning ledge. The colors do not seem to be syncing with the Pentair Intellibrite lights or our Pentair bubbler or the laminars. We did use the Smart Sync without luck so far. Thoughts?

    Help finalizing project

    Thank you both for all your information and guidance, truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the globrites were already planned for and the niche's are already in, concrete done, etc. I did not realize the issues with the Globrites until too late. My one major regret so far. I will have to live...

    Electronic question

    Thank you both for responding. Random question mostly on styling then I guess, do people generally run transformers for every single independent pool life? Basically do people really ever control each in pool light separately or more commonly do people put Paul The in pool lights as one color...
