Q) Why do waterglobes get air bubbles?
A) There are various reasons why waterglobes develop
air bubbles. High heat can cause evaporation of the water in the globe,
extreme cold can cause freezing and temporarily shrink the rubber that
holds in the water of the globe, some water may leak out as it defrost
therefore causing an air bubble. Another possibility is trapped air
in the lining of the seal that may be forced out during shipping because
of the vibrations of the plane, truck or boat. Unfortunately there
is no way to guarantee waterglobes will not develop an air bubble now
or in the future.

Q) Tell me more about the waterglobe functions.
A) Every globe
is unique and may have a different way to activate it. If there is
a metal key on the bottom you have to turn the key clockwise to activate
it. Be careful to only turn it twice around to avoid damaging the
musical mechanism. If the water globe has a special function like
a light feature it may have a switch on the bottom of the piece,
slide the switch to the “On” position to get it to work.

Q) The waterglobe worked when I first purchased it. But when i showed it to the customer it wouldn't play. I tried to turn the key but it just wouldn't budge. What is wrong with it?
A) It sounds like
your waterglobe has been over wound. This is not caused by a defect
in the product and there is unfortunately nothing that can be done
about it. The spring inside the waterglobe has been over stretched
and has either jammed or broke in the process. Please only turn your
key twice around in the clockwise direction.
Q) My customer wants to send a waterglobe overseas, is this ok?
A) Waterglobes are safe to travel but there is a
risk of breakage as any item being shipped overseas. Please make
sure you package it carefully with extra padding and styrofoam to
ensure it is not damaged on the voyage. Please be aware though that
air bubbles and breakages that occur during the voyage are at the
customer's risk.
