Only connect the Product’ submersible light to a Carvin Star Series Starter Kit. Consult its User
Manual for power capacity and light controls.
The Carvin Star Series Starter Kit, water tubing, pipes, manifold and other plumbing accessories

The waterjet feature will work as intended if the submersible light is not connected to a controller.

Only use Carvin 12 mm tubing for this installation. Other tubing will reduce performances of the
Product or affect the water circulation of your pool.
We recommend using a 3-way valve with our 4-way manifold to manage the water return to the
pool. You can install up to 4 StarJet on a Carvin pool. For the StarJet 4-way manifold (sold
