Lots of wet fun!
My 10 yr old son loves his Hydrodynamic set. He has to do a bit of planning as he builds his own creations. Once built, adjustment to the water flow rate and direction are usually needed. It helps him understand that everything is affected by something else in the system. We have the deluxe set and use most everything in the set when building. I went to the pet store to buy more tubing and items not supplied but helpful such as "T's" and a manifold usually used to supply air to different locations in a fish tank. I am wondering if the designers of this toy actually used the set. The large tanks require a fair amount of force to assemble as the green rings can be very difficult to press onto the tanks. In addition, being a teacher/engineer, the set could be made educational by explaining concepts of gravity, force, pressure, vacuum and flow. Overall, if your child likes building and water this is a fun one. I was thinking of adding one over my aquarium for fun. Enjoy!

Hydrodynamic Deluxe Building Set
Okay, so I was looking for an educational toy. Since my son is knob turner and button pusher who loves to make messes, I figured this was just the ticket. I was right. Once the "contraptions" AKA factories are built, the water flowing and widget spinning, dripping "mess" is not only fun to watch, but allows for troublshooting of water flow issues through opening and closing valves to change the flow dynamics. A lot of fun. The only downside is that the manual shows very few canned ideas on what to build, and the pictures are a little hard for the kids to follow. If you just "freestyle" the building, it is much more fun. Be sure to have a couple of towels handy as when things go wrong at the plant, it can get wet! Definitely recommend for the kids that love to tinker. And its not another VIDEO game.......

A very fun and educational toy
I had one of these sets when I was a kid so I got it for my son. We set up one of the factories and he played with it for hours. Spraying water, mixing in colors and soap, and just experimenting with the flow of water really held his interest. He now experiments by creating his own designs and flow patterns. This is now one of his favorite toys.
