    I'm still looking into the LED version of it but it's expensive - if possible, I'd like to get that or retrofit my own - I've got a lot of experience with LED's, so setting that up should be relatively simple.
    Guess I'll just wait til the bulb blows, then i have a csing to play with....
    So matt........here's our wiring so far. Tomorrow they start to level for our ag at 8 am. We (HE) ran a gfci from the box indoors through a timer (intermatic) which is also right indoors by our box. That is it's very own circuit going to the pump. Then he ran another one that was not being used, but already hooked up to power out as well. He plans to bury them both together, one for the pump alone and the other one for the aqual.....and aux's off of that one. Is that ok......we wanted plug the aqual and pump into the same box and use the secondary for extra power for the "future" decking. What do you think..........so many say NO to plugging the light and pump together....it's a 1 1/2 HP Jacuzzi pump. Let me know. He will finish up the wiring tom. after they set up and leave and while in which time the water bill is accelerating??????????????? You probable can understand how handy it would be to use the pump plug in for the light too and use that other wire for extras???????However.....a thought on this issue??? the pump IS run through the timer and the aqua L would be too....however it DOES have a shut off button? This is nuts. The darn outdoor wire is NOW 125$ for 250 feet........Copper you know.

My only complaints on it are that you have to purchase another fitting from them to get the thing compatible with anything else. Meaning PVC, I have a valve that I had on my old jet, and the valve went right on it. Now it is on the other end of the hose backwards in the Nature2. I would much rather it was up at the jet, I will get the fitting later...
    The other thing is that the fountain attachment also has to come from them, I want one of those to, but again I will purchase one later. I will put up some night pics of the pool in the above ground pool gallery tonight if I get around to it.
    Sevver,
    Just to let you know, the fountain attachment that I got as a freebie w/ the aquaL is not worth $30. It is definately cool while it's on, however it is very stubborn during attachment. It obviously doesn't light up, however you might check into another type of fountain first. If u could get it free, fine, but honestly I wouldn't buy one for that much if I know what I know now about it.

    JUST AN FYI
