About ‘Ripple’

The RIPPLE system allows equipment such as dump buckets, recirculation pumps, mist, rain or spray systems to be plugged in safely via a waterproof socket, and controlled by guests via a touch button panel.

The panel is customisable so as to reflect the application you’ve chosen – “Make some waves!”, “Mist our frogs!”, “Make it rain!” are just some of the possibilities.

Connecting RIPPLE to a wave system allows visitors to evoke currents and waves bombarding a marine habitat, allowing them to witness animal behaviour changing as the waves crash.

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

The unit is programmed to count down 60 seconds after one button press before allowing the next, and for the socket to be on for 3 seconds; this is customisable via the unit’s own wifi network.

Connecting RIPPLE to a rain or mist system gives visitors control of this most essential of rainforest conditions – fulfilling a vital husbandry requirement while keeping guests engaged. The duration of the rain/mist, and the time between each activation, is customisable, and the unit can also be programmed to activate outside guest hours on a timer, to fulfil husbandry requirements.

RIPPLE could also be used, for example, with a rain system on an aquarium tank – giving an extra dimension to your freshwater zone. The nature of this system (controlling a universal waterproof socket, ready for you to plug in your own activation device) makes it very versatile.

Designed for you to plug in any existing environment feature e.g. dump bucket, pump, rain or mist system. (Not included but we can help spec and source such elements.

Included:

  • Button panel assembly with your design.
  • 3m cable.
  • Control box with wifi programmability.
  • Waterproof mains socket mounted on backplate.

Ripple 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.”
