Installation

Flush Mounting

For new pool construction and modication of older pools, installing

the UW30 ush 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

ush 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. You may contact Paragon

at: KDI Paragon, Inc., 341 Route 55 Westwing, LaGrangeville, NY

12540, Phone: (845) 452‑5500

Fusing

For maximum protection against speaker overload, fusing the

line from the amplier 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.
