Interactive Reward System (IRiS) combines many wireless controllers that are referred to as "Talkers" that will control any of the IRiS products that are referred to as "Listeners" The IRiS Bubble Tube is one of many IRiS "Listeners" including fiber optics. The Free IRiS App combines all controllers into one which allows users to interact with "Listeners" using 7 switches including sound, touch, vibration, and movement.

The Bubble tube, that is available in 40", 60" and 80" sizes, is illuminated by LED ensuring colors are always bright and colorful without the need to change the bulb. The low voltage that the Bubble tube takes to operate ensures the tube is quiet and only emitting sounds of the water bubbling.
Tubes exceeding 60" should be braced with a bubble tube bracket for optimal safety.
