Installation

Flush Mounting

For new pool construction and modification of older pools, installing
the UW30 flush with the sides of the pool makes a very neat and
unobtrusive installation. The speaker is mounted in a wet-niche
(Paragon Part #68102 or equivalent) in the same manner as an
underwater light. Figure 1 shows a typical installation. The speaker
is mounted up to 1.2 m (4 ft.) below the surface of the water and
flush with the side of the pool. (For installation in water depths lower
than recommended, please contact factory.) A marine plywood or
stainless steel mounting ring or face plate is recommended.
(Paragon Part # 68103SS stainless steel or #68103 bronze
polished chrome or equivalent). Several pool equipment
manufacturers have wet-niches available into which the UW30
may be installed. See your local pool supplier for further information.

Fusing

For maximum protection against speaker overload, fusing the line
from the amplifier is recommended. In the event of accidental
overload, it is much easier to replace a fuse (which is above the
water) than to replace or have the speaker repaired. Installing a 25
ohm, 20 watt resistor in parallel with a 1.5 ampere, fastblowing
fuse in series with the speaker is recommended. See Figure 2.

Layout of Speaker in Pool

When underwater speakers are installed, particularly in smaller
pools where only one or two speakers are needed, they should be
located in the deep end of the pool. The above recommendation
will effectively equalize the intensity of sound throughout the pool.
For installations in large pools, such as at country clubs, municipal
facilities, etc., the speakers should be located around the periphery
of the pool. A good rule to follow for large pools is one speaker for
every 900 square feet (83.61 square meters) of pool surface at the
deep end and one speaker for every 1,200 square feet (111.48
square meters) of pool surface for the shallow end. Of course, for
high-noise conditions in the pool, the number of speakers should
be doubled for best results.
