About ‘Bubbly’

Designed for aquatic exhibits – ‘Bubbly’ is a control system allowing visitors to press a button and release bubbles into a tank, using the exhibitor’s existing air supply.

Systems like this are already in use in SEA LIFE centres around the UK, and are very popular with guests – we’ve also seen the bubbles used very creatively, e.g. opening a toilet seat, or emanating from a SCUBA diver mannequin. Get creative!

We’ve also been amazed by the way that animals interact with the bubbles, and have seen cownose rays hovering above the bubble point waiting for a mini-massage, and seals that dive head first through the plume.

1-2-1 products and devices should only be used by trained professionals.

Install BUBBLY on an exhibit, and give yourself another tick in the “animal enrichment” box at the same time as pleasing guests!

The unit is programmed to count down 60 seconds after one button press before allowing the next, so as not to overwhelm the tank; this is customisable, and contact us to discuss your requirements.

BUBBLY includes a solenoid valve and PVC fittings, and is ready to be plumbed into blowers, air pumps, or existing ring mains.

Bubbly Testimonials

Kristen Neria – Director of Exhibit Services Design & Exhibits @ Shedd Aquarium

“My assessment of the product is that it is successfully working for our purposes. We certainly had some struggles along the way but that was mostly due to a unique requirement of multiple units triggered from a single button. I do hope we both learned from our experience of working out this slightly more complicated application. As of today, the units are still in service and guests are putting them to the test as always! We very much appreciated your customer service and advice along the way. Joe was especially helpful when we needed him. We will not hesitate to work with 1-2-1 Animal Handling Products again in the future.”
