    I have a feeling this is the case, only because i know that the red pigment is the most expensive for just about everything - automotive paint especially!
    yes, it is the aqualuminator. I am considering cutting in another jet opening somewhere though since now that I have it the fountain options are sort of limited. I also am not to happy about the PVC adapter, what would make a company introduce a proprietory product out into the marketplace for anyhow? Then offer an adapter so that you may use it the same way the rest of the world does? That sort of thing really irks me! But I don't mind it for flow and all, I think I need to pull it out and grease the o-ring as it is beginning to get hard to turn.

    Our Hayward Astralite (500 Watt/120 volt) from 1982 came with a set of four lenses. Yellow, green, red, blue and aqua. They're neat and they work fine. Very simple - nothing fancy. I am waiting for a replacement bulb and gasket - hope it comes soon.

    Sevver,
    I believe they wanted to create a stramlined product, more along the lines of an IG product, I didn't like the 'over the wall hanger' with the niteliter, nor the fact that is sticks out so much, it seems like a far inferior product. I do however like that they gave the option for the fitting to attach a pressure side cleaner. I love their fountain and it's adjustability.
    I am toying with their new LED head idea, but it is very expensive right now - even just the conversion kit - may have to retrofit my light head with a home brew.....
    I have also been toying with the idea of a second jet, mainly to get better flow at the far side of my drop in steps, and I feel a 30 foot diameter pool could probably use a couple of returns, it seems my dirt falls out right beside the stairs, although it makes for an easy spot clean of a lot of dirt instead of doing the whole pool!
