Pentair LED bubblers - 16" water depth

[jblackwell]

Hey community!

I need help deciding what to do with my sun/baja shelf. It's currently designed at 16" depth, but I'm worried the bubblers will be ineffective. I was going to run a second pump specifically to power these and my 3 laminar jets.....or just the bubblers. Anyhow, it's not too late to go to 12" water depth, but I'd prefer to leave it. Does anyone have any experience with bubblers at a depth of 12" or deeper? Any pictures? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

12" is perfect for our toddler, who has been on the Baja shelf since the age of 1. She is now 3 and still loves it. She's tall for her age at 40" for 3 years exactly.

If you look at the threads started by me, you will see my Baja shelf and my bubbles in action.

I saw them. I was hoping to stay at 18" but didn't think the Pentair bubblers would do anything.

My PB wouldn't install them more than 6" below the surface, so we crossed them off our list (our shelf is ~15", which is just about perfect for us ...). BUT I've seen pics on here of people getting good height from 12" deep or lower, so I know it can be done. They also make a telescoping bubbler/fountain that appears to raise closer to the surface when in use -- might be something to look into.

Lighted bubbler or mini LED on tanning ledge?
