Product Overview
The Pentair MagicStream® Laminar 580001T is an illuminated water-feature system designed to create a smooth, glass-like arc of water from the pool deck or surrounding landscape into a pool, spa, or water feature.
This model features a tan deck lid, integrated 12V LED lighting, and a 100-foot factory cord. The internal laminar design reduces turbulence and air bubbles before the water exits the nozzle, producing a clean, uniform stream rather than a conventional spray.
At night, the integrated LED light engine illuminates the moving water with Pentair color effects and can synchronize with compatible IntelliBrite® 5G lighting and Pentair automation systems.

Smooth Laminar Water Effect
Unlike a conventional fountain nozzle, MagicStream uses an internal flow-conditioning system designed to remove turbulence and air bubbles before the water exits the nozzle.
The result is a smooth, solid-looking arc of water that maintains its shape through the air rather than breaking apart into droplets.
Integrated Color LED Lighting
The built-in microprocessor-controlled LED system provides:
- 5 fixed colors
- 7 programmed light shows
- Single-color hold
- Automatic color-changing effects
- Synchronization with compatible Pentair color lighting
This allows multiple laminars and pool lights to be coordinated for a unified nighttime lighting display.
Adjustable Water Stream
The MagicStream Laminar can be adjusted after installation to fine-tune the water arc.
Pentair specifies:
- Vertical adjustment from approximately 62° to 75°
- Left/right directional adjustment of approximately 60° total
This allows installers to aim the stream toward the desired landing point in the pool or spa.
Performance
Pentair publishes the following approximate operating data:
| Flow | Inlet Pressure | Jet Height |
|---|---|---|
| 6.0 GPM | 2.5 PSI | 5 ft |
| 7.5 GPM | 3.5 PSI | 6 ft |
Actual arc distance and height will depend on plumbing, flow, pressure, and final nozzle adjustment.
Automation Compatibility
MagicStream Laminars can integrate with compatible Pentair lighting and automation products, including:
- IntelliBrite® 5G
- IntelliBrite Architectural Series
- Color Sync™ Controller
- IntelliCenter®
- EasyTouch®
- IntelliTouch®
- Compatible ScreenLogic® installations
This makes it possible to coordinate water-feature lighting with the rest of the pool's lighting system.
Transformer Requirements
The 580001T does not include the transformer.
Pentair specifies connection to an appropriate 120V-to-12VAC pool-lighting transformer. The LED system itself operates at 12 VAC.
Common Pentair transformer options include:
| Part Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 619962 | 12V–14V, 100W Transformer |
| 619963 | 12V–14V, 300W Transformer |
Transformer sizing should account for the total connected lighting load.
