Bubble Column Corner
Ref: 9MSP1
Description
One of the stalwarts of the sensory room, the bubble column consists of an acrylic tube containing a column of water, percolated by bubbles from a pump. It is lit from below producing a constantly changing pattern of colours and bubbles. Its quiet pump is powerful and can not only be switch-controlled by a user, but also adjusted so that the air flow matches the mood of the sensory room.
The column, assisted by the motion of the pump, vibrates slightly so that by pressing an ear to it one can feel its pulse. By using one of our switches the user can control the speed of the pump flow to produce anything from a slow mesmeric stream of bubbles to a seething, fizzing cauldron. This feature allows the mood of the sensory room to be varied from calming to energetic. They can also be switched to different pulse modes to give more options.
Left to itself, the column will cycle through a range of colours. However, the user may change them using either our Spectrum Selecta, with its coloured buttons, or wirelessly by any of our other controllers.
TFH have three choices of diameter of the bubble column. The giant ones are particularly good for sharing.
Water should be changed monthly and we recommend using our additive.
Most Sensory rooms begin here, if you have a "good" corner with 90cm of free space on both walls this is perhaps where you should start too. This combination of kit makes up the corner but there are a number of options for you to choose from. We will get in touch after your purchase to decide which you go for. Check it out in 3D here!
If you want more kit in your room you can check out the other corners we offer, designed to work together without duplicate items.

Why TFH
Designed and made by TFH
TFH has designed and manufactured sensory and special needs equipment for over 40 years. Our products are developed in house by our team, drawing on decades of experience in sensory development, accessibility and safety. That means that we can tell you exactly how a product was designed to be used, what sensory needs it addresses and how it fits into a wider sensory environment.
Almost all our equipment is manufactured at our factory just outside Wrexham in North Wales so you are choosing British production.
Safety
All TFH products are independently tested to meet UK, US and EU safety standards for use in schools, care settings and homes. They are all powered at only 12 volts.
