My Mom Loved this

I bought this for my Mom's birthday. She absolutely loved it


Best Gift For Weatherbugs

I bought two of these to give to friends who zealously follow weather forecasts. They absolutely love it! Additionally, one of the husbands is an engineer and he admired it. Great addition to any decor.


Christmas prize

My thirteen year old has enjoyed setting this up and watching with weather changes. Beautifully finished and easy to set up.


I just did, as a gift to my daughter.

We've had ours for a couple of years and really enjoy it. Just ordered one as a gift for our daughter.

This product is very reactive and has led to many spirited conversations in our engineer dominated household if the water level is affected more by barometric pressure or ambient temperature.


I would def buy again to gift

Bought this to use in my bedroom to help inform me of the weather. The little guy is pretty spot on. The water level rises and lowers as described. Pretty awesome! I look over at my desk every day in awe at how much it's moved or not moved.


Everyone should have one!!!

I will eventually get myself one but for now it's my favorite gift to give others because they love them so much!!!


Such an incredible gift!

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, who loves all things science and weather-related. Truth be told, I love it so much myself, that it's a gift for me too! The swan is beautiful, and if you follow the directions exactly, it works amazingly well. I am someone who gets headaches from time to time when there are severe changes in the barometric pressure, and this beautiful work of art is more accurate that the local weathermen, and helps me prepare a little better. All in all, a great gift, and one I will consider for other people I need to buy gifts for in the future!


Darling accent piece

Just add water and the included dye.easy peasy.


Love this product

My father, like many dads out there, loves to track the weather. He has all sorts of gadgets and gauges to make sure he knows better The Weather Channel. This is the least tech oriented item he has, but the most fun. He named the swan, Barry (for barometric pressure) and he loves to text Barry's water is rising, a storm is coming! And Barry has been correct so far. A great gift for anyone who loves to know and predict the weather.



I lost my instruction sheet for this. Is there anything specific I need to do for the swan before/when filling it?

Verified reply from Justin

Hello, attached is a copy of the instructions for this item.


Does it have to be put outside?

Verified reply from Allison

This swan can sit handsomely inside your home. The borosilicate glass allows for extreme temperatures so it can sit outside, but having it inside allows you to see the changes in barometric pressure to forecast weather conditions 8-12 hours in advance!


My water is getting gross, Is there a specific amount of vinegar that I should use when I replace my mixture?

Verified reply from Allison

The maker recommends 2 parts vinegar to 1 part food coloring, then add 120ml / 4 oz. of water.


what is the diameter of the round base of the swam?

Verified reply from Maxienne

The diameter of the base is more of an elliptical shape. The longest diameter is 2 inches and the shortest is 1 inch.


How long does this last - does the water eventually evaporate?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! You'll add the water once the swan is received. It comes with black food dye (but you can use your own!) and a syringe/tubing to add it all. If you need to add more water at any point, you can add it with the included syringe.


Can I use a different food color of my choice? What type do you recommend?

Verified reply from Lelio

Yes, you can use any food dye! Just add some vinegar to prevent algae growth.


How does it work. Barometric pressure I assume but how does ti measure it?

Verified reply from Norma

The exact ratio of water to vinegar to food coloring is included with the instructions. Barometric pressure will allow the water levels of the swan to rise or fall indicating weather changes.
