Genie App Hurricane Tube - Waterless Sensory Tube, 6" dia.
Description
The MSE Genie Hurricane Tube is a waterless sensory tube designed to deliver the calming, visually engaging benefits of a traditional bubble tube - without any water. Specially-coated styrofoam beads swirl and dance inside a sturdy acrylic tube, reflecting vibrant colors produced by energy-efficient LED lights. The fan speed is fully adjustable, giving therapists and facilitators precise control over the intensity and pace of each sensory session.
Powered by Bluetooth Genie technology, this tube pairs seamlessly with the free MSE Genie App on any iPhone or iPad, putting full session control at your fingertips. Whether you're building an interactive sensory room for a school, therapy center, or special needs facility, the Hurricane Tube delivers a safe, stimulating, and deeply customizable experience for every individual.
Key Features
- Waterless Design: Uses specially-coated styrofoam beads instead of water - ideal for environments where a traditional bubble tube isn't practical.
- Bluetooth Genie App Control: Pairs with the free MSE Genie App (iOS) for full wireless control of the tube from an iPhone or iPad.
- Includes MSE Genie Receiver: The Genie Receiver (9RGRX) is included - just download the app and you're ready to go.
- Adjustable Fan Speed: Facilitators can dial in the speed of the bead movement to create a calm or energizing sensory experience on demand.
- LED Color Lighting: Abundant LED lighting reflects off the dancing beads, creating a rich visual display of colors throughout the tube.
- Expandable System: Add Signal Splitters and additional Genie Receivers to control multiple pieces of TFH sensory room equipment from a single device.
- 5 Controller Options: Choose from large color controller, small color controller, color mixing (2 options), or color ladder with piano scales for client interaction.
- Facilitator & Client Modes: Facilitator chooses which equipment is on, whether clients can interact, and which controller type is used - supporting self-determination and independence.
- Therapeutic Benefits: Supports color discrimination learning, fine and gross motor skill development, relaxation, and visual/auditory/tactile stimulation.
- 6" Diameter Acrylic Tube: Sturdy construction built for daily use in sensory rooms, therapy suites, and special education classrooms.

Size Options & Which to Choose
- 48" High: A mid-size option well-suited for seated viewing, floor-level sensory corners, or rooms with lower ceilings. Ideal for early childhood classrooms and compact sensory spaces where a full-height tube isn't needed.
- 80" High: The full-height option that creates a dramatic, floor-to-near-ceiling visual impact. Best for dedicated sensory rooms, therapy suites, and facilities where maximum visual stimulation is the goal.

FAQ
Does the Hurricane Tube require water?
No - that's one of its key advantages. The Hurricane Tube is completely waterless. Instead of water, specially-coated styrofoam beads are swirled by an internal fan to create a flowing, visually stimulating effect. This makes it safe and practical for environments where a traditional water-filled bubble tube would be a concern.
What devices are compatible with the MSE Genie App?
The MSE Genie App is available on the Apple App Store and is compatible with iPhones and iPads. The Hurricane Tube includes the MSE Genie Receiver, so once you download the app, you're ready to connect and begin customizing sessions right away.
Can I control multiple pieces of sensory equipment with one device?
Yes. With Signal Splitters and additional MSE Genie Receivers, you can control multiple pieces of TFH sensory room equipment from a single iPhone or iPad. This makes it easy to build a fully integrated sensory room and manage the entire environment from one place.
Which size should I choose - 48" or 80"?
The 48" tube is a great fit for smaller sensory spaces, rooms with lower ceilings, or floor-level setups where clients will be seated or lying nearby. The 80" tube creates a more dramatic, immersive visual experience and works best in dedicated sensory rooms or therapy suites where ceiling height allows. Both sizes feature the same Genie technology and LED lighting.
Is the Hurricane Tube suitable for children with sensory processing needs?
Absolutely. The Hurricane Tube was specifically designed for sensory rooms serving individuals with autism, sensory processing disorders, and other special needs. The gentle visual stimulation, soothing color changes, and controllable fan speed make it an effective tool for relaxation, focus, and therapeutic engagement. The facilitator controls in the Genie App also allow therapists to tailor each session to the individual's needs and abilities.
