Aqua Rain

Taking a bath generally involves bubbles, a scrubber of some sort, and thou. However, if you want to spice things up, throw an Aqua Rain into the mix and introduce a geyser of LED-lit water into your bathing ritual.

Shaped like a smoke detector but buoyant, the Aqua Rain product floats on the surface of your bathtub and shoots out beams of colored light for the first visual effect. A powerhead on the bottom of the device sucks water in and blows it out the top in streams of liquid for the second effect. Now, with the water flowing and the lights blazing, the effect is rather hypnotic and perhaps even magical as the water scatters upwards and cascades down as the LEDs light up the droplets. Two fountain patterns are selectable - a lazy radial spray or tight water jets that are ejected more forcefully. Seven colored LEDs provide the illumination for nifty effects. A video of the streaming water may be viewed on the manufacturer's website. NCS is accepting preorders to ship next week.
