Deep Sea Pacific Moving Sand Art- By Klaus Bosch

Deep Sea Pacific Moving Sand Art - Fun to use once you get the air/water balance correct

This is a wonderful piece of interactive art. Kudos to Klaus. I'm a tinkerer so my experience may be different to others due to how much I've played around with adjusting the air/water balance. I've learned two things: 1. Don't remove water before playing with the air level, and 2. See #1. We're at 2,600+ feet above sea level so when our piece arrived I saw that there was about 3/4" inch of air below the rim. At first I just removed some air and it worked pretty well. After a few weeks the sand wasn't starting very well (needed more tapping so I adjusted the air to the guide level). That helped but I thought I should equalize the pressure and see if we were low on water. Hah! That was eye-opening as the air level dropped to 1.5" inches below the rim. So I added three syringes worth of water and adjusted the air back to about 1/2" below the rim. Well, that messed everything up. Whenever I turned over the sand it became very very cloudy and the sand would just fall fast no matter how small the bubbles were and how spread out they were. And now the sand level was way below half way when it was all at the bottom. So I removed the amount of water that I added and re-adjusted the air level and things started working better. The cloudiness went away for the most part and the sand behaved more like it did when first out of the box. This now begs the question as to how much water it really needs and how much negative pressure should be inside to get the optimum performance! Anyway, I love it and I'll likely tinker some more to get it just right.

Beautiful Sand Art and exceptional customer support!

I rarely leave 5star reviews, and to leave one - means that I really received an above and beyond experience. I ordered a sand picture to replace one that my kids broke. The item arrived damaged, it clearly was damaged (crushed) during the transportation. I informed the customer service and they sent a replacement right away, this time UPS actually handled it with care :D… What I can say about the art? Absolutely mesmerizing, can watch this for hours. The store manager (customer support) took an exceptional care of me every step of the way. Highly recommend!!!

Love it!

The item arrived on time and it was well packed. It was easy to set up, requiring just the addition of some air using the needle provided. We are delighted with it, it is very beautiful and soothing to watch the patterns form.
