SUPA SWITCH CONSOLE BY ROMPA®19280
CONTENTS
1 x Console (padded base)
1 x Bubble Tube
Please note: This switch will not control the early models of ROMPA®Bubble Tubes.
This product does not include a collar. You may wish to use a collar to secure your bubble tube
to the wall. The collar 14694 is appropriate for these bubble tubes.
ASSEMBLY
1. Carefully unpack all the
components.
2. Take the padded top off the
Console. This is attached by
Velcro. Pull the padded top off
firmly to release the Velcro.
3. You now should be able to see
the ‘trap doors’. These are held
in place by cross-head
screws in the corners. Release
all the screws and lift the trap
door out. Take care as these
contain staples and the wood
used is a little rough.
4. Attach the Bubble Tube tube to the chassis inside the Console. The chassis is the metal box
with a screw and washer in each corner. First release the screws and washers then align
the bottom of the tube with these holes. Replace the screws and washers once the tube is
aligned.
5. Attach the brown plastic pipe, which is already attached to the pump, to the bottom of the
Bubble Tube column.

6. Connect the end of the white cable (with the telephone-type plug) to the socket (J) on the
chassis as shown below.
7. Connect the black power supply box (shown below) to the round socket (H) in the bubble
tube chassis. The power supply should be placed above water level – ideally this should be
wall mounted out of reach. The lead from the other end of the power supply needs to be
plugged in to a wall socket. There is no ON/OFF button on the power supply. The green
LED light will be lit. There may be a slight delay.

8. The unit will begin to flash, displaying a sequence of coloured lights, and bubbles will begin to
rise up the tube. Turn the wheel (I) on the white Base Cover to adjust the speed of the light
change.
Please note:
The Connector marked J is for the 17274LED Super Interactive Switch Box only.
Connecting any other cable to this socket may cause permanent damage to the Bubble
Tube.
The Connector marked K is for the USB cable only. Connecting any other cable to this
socket may cause permanent damage to the Bubble Tube.
Ensure that water does not come into contact with the electronic circuit boards in the
base of the Bubble Tube. Please take extreme care when filling/emptying the Bubble
tube to ensure that the electronics remains dry.

9. Look inside the console to find the small triangular cut-out along the floor edge – pass the
power supply cable through this to make sure it does not get trapped.
10. Check the lights are working before filling with water. Place the Console in its final position
as a Bubble Tube should not be moved when full. The Bubble Tube should now be
placed on a stable, level surface in preparation to be filled with water. If the surface is
not flat, the pump is likely to create more noise than a gentle background ‘humming’.
11. Fill with water carefully until the required level is achieved. This should be approximately 2”
from the top of the tube. The water level will rise when filled with water.
Place the bubble tube cap (lid) on top of the bubble tube.
12. Plug in the power supply at the wall and switch on. Make sure that the protective plastic
sheet is over the circuit board to protect it from accidental spills and splashes.
13. Replace the trap doors and their screws, making sure these are the right way round - the
Velcro forms a rectangle.
14. Replace the padded top of the Console, making sure it is the right way round – the hole is
aligned with the hole in the Console.
OPERATION
1. Press the central button (orange) on the control panel to stop/start bubbles. This button does
not change the colour.
2. Press a coloured button to change the colour.
3. Adjust the controls on the front of the Console as required e.g. to change the length of
time a colour remains on or if the bubbles are on/off till the central button is pressed.
SAFETY
1. The Bubble Tube is suitable for use on a level horizontal floor. Do not attempt to move the
Bubble Tube when it is full of water.
2. Always supervise the use of this product.
3. Regularly change the water and use a suitable water cleansing agent.
4. For indoor use, in dry environments.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
TO EMPTY THE BUBBLE TUBE
1. Use an appropriate pump. Remove the cap (round lid at the top of the tube) and remove the
water from the top of the tube using your pump. A pump is available separately from
ROMPA®: code 20601. From November 2011, ROMPA®Bubble Tubes no longer have a
drain hose at their base.
2. Refill the Bubble Tube.
GENERAL CARE
1. Wash the exterior of the Maxi Bubble Tube with a slightly soapy cloth. Wipe excess soap
away with a damp cloth.
NOTE: Never use solvents or liquid detergents inside the Bubble Tube.

2. Since prevention is better than cure, we recommend the following:
•To prevent the growth of microbes in the water:
-Change the water monthly (use an appropriate pump to siphon out water)
-Empty the tube altogether if it is not to be used for long periods
-A suitable water sterilising tablet can be added to the water – consult your local
Health and Safety Executive for guidelines (do not use with Ball Bubble Tubes
as this could discolour the balls)
-Do not add bleach, coloured dyes or salt to the water
•To prevent the bubble tube from being knocked over we recommend the use of a collar
(14694 for 15cm tubes). This should be secured to a wall with adequate fixtures.
•To prevent lime-scale blocking component parts in hard water areas use an appropriate water
softener as required.
