Introduction

This guide will show you how to refill the dancing water speakers through the bottom water plug. These water speakers have a tendency to leak through the bottom water plug. This guide will show you step-by-step how to take the speakers apart so you can replace the water plug with super glue. The reason why we replace it with super glue is the glue works to seal the hole a lot more effectively and it's a simple process.

    • You will need to have a clean work space, water dancing speakers, super glue, mineral water, and Phillips screw driver ready.

    • Unplug the USB cable powering your speakers before you continue.

    i see a tiny hole on top of the glass speakers. but i see no obvious way to open it. it seems to me though that this would be where i should add the mineral oil. Anyone else have the same speakers i have? any ideas on how to open it.. without damaging the glass?

    You need to take the clear part with the water off of the black part.

    Follow this instructions posted here.

    Good luck

    Using the phillips screw driver remove the 4 screws seen on the back of speakers.

    Once the four screws are taken out you will need to slide the bottom piece from the water canister. When the two are separated set the water canister bottom facing up.

    On the bottom of the water canister you will see a SMALL HOLE where the water was inserted. There will be a black plug covering the hole. Using your screw driver you can pry the plug out. Once the plug is taken out you can refill the speakers. Only refill the speakers with one inch of water.

    After the water is filled to approximately one inch. Super glue the hole shut and let dry.

    When the glue is dry slide speaker back on to water canister. Once they are put together place back panel on and insert the four screws. repeat steps 2 through 6 on second speaker.

    I tried prying it but it didn't work and I ended up breakin the little space it was in.

    Kennedy Meza -

    Mine didn't have a plug, and I had to use a very small bit to drill the hole open. added water and glued. works okay, except it makes a random 'grinding' noise and the liquid in the refilled one doesn't cascade like the original - almost as if the original liquid was not water - at least not plain water. Any thoughts?

    Fehring -

    it's mineral oil

    Shreyash Patel -

    Just bought these speakers; there's only about an 1/8" of water in them. Took it apart with your instructions and found water plug... It's tiny! How did you add water? A syringe? Also in the picture the water tank appears full, you say add one inch. We don't understand (duh), could you explain please?

    peterhulse86 -

    Only the inch of water in the bottom of the water tank is shot up into the air in the water tank.

    Elijah -

    when and how much mineral oil do I add to the water?

    Christopher Robertson -

    No answer yet on the mineral oil? Maybe all mineral oil?

    Uzibah -

    Le bouchon ne se retire pas du tout, je voulais le remplir a nouveau mais comme dit le bouchon ne s'enlève pas 😕

the pump is defective how to replace

anpicard@videotron.ca

andrepicard2012 -

I couldnt get plug out either so I drilled a hole in back and filled it with mineral water and sealed it with a small strip of scotch tape and duct tape on top of that in case I had to get back in. It works, but now it looks different. Sometimes the water clings to the inside and it looks a little foggy. Is it mineral water, or mineral oil? If it leaks again I'll prob try the oil.

Lacepage -

The original liquid has a lower surface tension than water. I used odorless mineral spirits.

If the pump is noisy, try a drop of oil in the motor.

aeromojito -

My speakers keep spraying even though their is no music playing, is that a good thing?

Andrew -

That means that the speakers are broken. You might need to replace it. If not, then its a probelm with the board, which I have no idea how to fix.

Skittlekingthefirst -

good it worked with me, thanks for guidance.

Shujath Shariff -

I got one of these for Christmas at five BELoW for $5. I figured out why they were selling it. Someone lost the black plug on the bottom that plugs the hole and they used hot glue to fix it, but it still leaks somewhere. I will probably drill a hole in the top or back and fill it with water and cover it up and then use some sealing tape to make sure it stops leaking.

blakesr171 -

Try some JB weld on the area

Troy Reinhardt jr -

My water dance speaker still has water. My problem is the water isn't splashing about with the music, any more. What would cause that to stop?

lorirunninglate -

lolirunninglate, you have broken pumps in your speaker, but i don't know how to fix that.

Elijah -

I read somewhere u can use baby oil to is that true. My son got some but there is nothing in there so I have to fill them.

Michelle W -

lorirunninglate u would have to get a new motor for the or both speakers if neither work there is no pumps it's three magnetics that are attached to the motor with a wheel try looking up on YouTube on how to replace the motor

Troy Reinhardt jr -

Regarding identifying the liquid:

Based on a search for the MSDS, the MSDS (ref: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/wp-conte... ) calls it "Artware Oil C-300", with a viscosity of 3.6 mPa.s (aka 3.6 cSt).

Mineral oil comes in MANY viscosities, the closest I could find would be Peneteck, the second closest would be 4463 oil (ref http://www.hollandchemicals.com/Document... ).

Can't find a seller for "Artware Oil C-300", "Peneteck", or "4463 oil" yet. I expect there would be other mineral oils in this viscosity range as well. I haven't found a source for oil yet, but hope this helps in the search.

Will update / add comment if I find a mineral oil in this range.

Matt -

I'm trying to fill my second speaker and when I open it the plug is like 1/4 of an inch down and I can't get to it.

Tyler unnecesary -

I dont get it - its not water or mineral water , but oil - mineral oil of a fairly low viscosity so that it runs easily but doesnt stick. So exactly what is it, and when it leaked, where did it go to as if it is oil it wont evaporate.

ajb -

I have the same problem, but I have the Water Tower BT SC1128BT Model.

I can’t even find the refill area or access the “Guts” of this thing!!

When I opened the box only one speaker had water in it. So I found these directions for filling it. Both speakers had broken pieces in them. When I opened the back of the empty one, there wasn't a plug. Instead, there was a big thick layer of apoxy or something. When I finally got enough of the glue/apoxy stuff off, I put the water in and glued it back closed. Then, while trying to get it back together, three wires broke lose. My husband said he would try to sodder the wires back in place when he got a chance but I'm not optimistic it will work. Luckily, I didn't pay anything for the piece of crap. It was given to me. My husband said if he couldn't fix it, he would buy me another one......don't think I really want to chance money on buying another one though.

Lori McDonald -

I also had trouble removing the plug (I resorted to pushing it in) and eventually broke a wire in the process. The oil that had escaped had made the inside of the bottom piece kind of sticky.

At this point, its no longer worth trying to salvage it. The other one still works, but it looks silly with just one. It was a neat little gift, but very cheaply made…

Maria Nikkel -

Can you just use regular water?

April Lopez -

Can’t I just put a hole in the top and put tap water in it because I’m too trashy to go through all this &&^&^$ effort

Solvenskia -

I AGREE with the last comment! my eyes dont see those tiny little holes, black dots…etc got these at goodwill for $2 so im guessing these will sit in a cabinet til i throw them out.

Betty Jo Doney -

We have the dancing sharks and after a month the stopped floating and just sit on the bottom. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

Jen Brunell -

Do you have any suggestions on refilling water on the Water Dancing BT Tower Speaker Model#SC-1128BT??

It EVAPORATED out and I just hear the Pump growling!! HELP!!

howlbob -

For you know how to fix a speaker that has a hole in the plastic at the top?

CyWolf Games -

its not water , its light oil.

Philp Chung -

The wiring to the lights fell off while I was refilling! I tried to reattach them, but they keep falling back off when I try to replace the cover . How can I make them stay without a solder?? I was going to use glue, but don't want to damage it beyond repair! Help!?!!

ericka prince -

Sadly no. At least not very reliabley. You could try to use a teenie tiny metal clamp.

Zarkex -

Hab mich extra registriert um +30 zu vergeben. Danke!

Geri -

tuto non compatible pas de bouchon pour remplir enceinte a eau en forme de verre !!!! tres deçu

Christelle Lehee -

Pam Beech -

Moter wairs point plz

Fayyaz Shaikh -

Should I change it before I use it?

Wanda Tiller -

Charge it before I use it?

Wanda Tiller -

I have some hello kitty dancing water speakers but the LEDs started flickering on the right speaker, specifically the blue and green colors so I’m wondering if there’s a fix to this or where I can send them to be fixed

Zari -

My water speakers have noisy motors … they are brand new Goldman’s… if they aren’t on full all you hear is the motor for the jets… I don’t want to have to take them back but I wanted them for soothing music at bathtime not a disco!
