Want to please yourself with a new stylish decor, but do not know how to approach? Then you come here, to the waterfall made by your own hand.

The secret of water is the secret of water
It is noted that the aqua design is confidently considered the most attractive and prestigious reception for decorating the interior. Exclusive stylish products in the form of air bubble panels create an amazing atmosphere of relaxation.
The play of light and the movement of air bubbles in panels or cylindrical colonnades attracts attention and harmoniously conveys the dynamics of a powerful element, tamed and ennobled under the impressive design of a modern interior. The secular secret of the quintessence of air and water is concentrated in simple and original bubble columns and waterfalls.
We can not hide that from the first impression of such a colorful water fairy there is a passionate desire to build something like this at home.
However, we will warn at once that the installation and connection process will require certain knowledge and skills. What are bubble panels, and how to create a decor in an apartment or a private house?
The principle of Bubble Panels
The design and operation principle of the bubble panel is simple, therefore it causes an increased interest. The air bubble panels (Bubble Panels) are a flat tank filled with distilled water, sometimes glycerin. Given the physical properties of air bubbles to rise up in the water, the principle of creating original panels is simple.
The source of creation of those air bubbles is a compressor-generator, whose performance can reach thousands of air bubbles. In addition, the bubble flow control is carried out by installing the control unit on the bottom of the control box. To create an original backlight, use LED technology with the use of RGB-controllers.
Where can I install the bubble panel
Mobility and ease of installation of bubble panel construction allow using them in an apartment, office or public places:
• in the form of partitions
• install in niches and on the podium
• Attach the panel box to the walls or ceiling.
The secret of air bubble panels lies in the features of their design. Any of the structures - panels, waterfalls or colonnades is interesting, because the flowing or falling water is in the proper place.
panels in the interior
The remarkable feature of aqua design and its original decorating ideas is that the accentuation of attention is promoted by the harmony of the technically executed flow of water or the play of air bubbles with other elements of the decor.
Therefore, bubble panels can be placed in the hallway or living room, in the kitchen and in the office. This versatility of application is inherent in the design features.
Features of the design: the water is where it should be
bubble panels
The main part of the panel design from the manufacturer or manufactured by hand is a tank of two-layer acrylic sheet or triplex glass.
For the formation and creation of panels use material of thickness 12-16 mm, width up to 1200 mm and length up to several meters.
A prerequisite for the construction and manufacture of the panel is the sealing of the ends of the acrylic sheet collected in a flat or round tank. At the bottom of the tank, the functions of strengthening the structure from a large volume and weight of distilled water and equipment for creating a bubble flow are assigned to the tank.
Dosing of the number of moving bubbles is carried out by nozzles with a simple round or flat nozzle type.
waterfalls on glass
No less attractive interior decoration is the waterfall on the glass, which is presented in the form of a vertical partition of transparent glass. Such a colorful and tastefully decorated waterfall make out openings and hard to reach niches, located in a conspicuous place.
In the upper closed part of the waterfall a reservoir is constructed, from which water flows like a stream of a source into a receiving bath or a vessel concealed in the base. The effect of decorating is to create a waterfall and flowing water from a mysterious space.
The incredible volume of the image is emphasized by the cut-off sparkling pattern (background).
All this picture is behind the glass of decorative panels, stylized as a natural or a genre composition.
The outer lining of such waterfalls is made of artificial stones matched to the size and color, mosaics or decorated with a photoprint.
Can I make a bubble panel with my own hands?
It is possible to make a panel or a waterfall with your own hands, but the process is laborious.
The structurally flat model consists of the upper and lower housings, united by a panel.
The layout of the bubble panel device assumes:
• creation of aeration system
• assembly of a sealed liquid container
• placement of a silent multi-channel aquarium compressor
• placement and connection of the controller and power supply of the LED strip
• Decoration of panels or columns.
You are lucky, because the Internet has already presented to the world some schemes of the device and placement of bubble panels.
create an aeration system
The aeration system of the bubble panel is the main component. From the correctness of its device depends the process of formation of air bubbles and their movement upwards. In the classical aeration system it is necessary to include:
• Noiseless multi-channel compressor with nozzles
• compressor hoses
• an acrylic sprayer (preference can be given to a spray gun with a multicolor LED factory-manufactured light)
• check valve installed between the compressor and the piston-type atomizer.
You can use a compressor Resun AC004 six-channel, capacity 75 l / min, capacity 58 W, diameter of an output aperture of 10 mm. The compressor is installed in the panel or at a small distance, and connected to the structure using an air hose. To prevent leakage from the channels between the bubble panel and the air hose, a non-return valve is installed.
In the podium or the bottom of the panel, install the power supply, compressor and aeration system, check valve, and a backlight module. If a compressor is to be installed at the top of the panel, then a check valve will not be required.
The most laborious process is the assembly of a container for liquid (exaggerated - the aquarium).
we collect the panel
To build the container you can use a sheet honeycomb double-layer acrylic. The dimensions of the panel are selected individually. The main thing is to seal the end of the acrylic sheet using a special glue.
The lower part (podium or bottom) of the air-bubble structure should provide the rigidity of the entire structure and the weight of the water.
In addition, nozzles are attached to the bottom of the panel, which ensure a dosed supply of air to the channels. Nozzles are preferable to choose made of durable plastic with a round nozzle. At the bottom of the air-bubble panel, the LED strip is also fixed.
In order for the air to be distributed more evenly, the sprayers are used and the outlet orifices of the tubes are adjusted, by setting the desired bubble formation size.
After assembling the panel and installing the aeration system, it is necessary to check the operation of the check valves and to add distilled water. The compressor is then turned on for testing.
