Apocryphan Well deactivated - Could we have a 4th setting, reintroducing the dirty water texture?

During it's first appearance on the PTS, the "Apocryphan Well" already offered all 3 animation settings, but instead of ink the pool habited dirty water instead. Which made it one of the most promising housing items since larger water sources that actually look natural are to this day still not a thing to obtain.
Now that the Apocryphan Well made it's way onto the Live Servers, it's deactivated state looks nothing like the pictures presented on UESP. Naturally so, as those pictures were taken before the well was actually finished in development. - But I think that with the loss of the dirty water texture in it's deactivated state, a huge possibility for housing enthusiasts got lost along the way.
Not only would it draw housing enthusiasts to Necrom, trying to gather the 3 leads necessary to unlock this beautiful treasure. It would also unlock a whole new world of housing opportunities where one does not need to rely on the incredibly small sulfur pools from fargrave or some fiddling with sunken down lightsources to create somewhat of naturally looking pools of water.
Please consider adding a 4th stage to the Apocryphan Well. One that portrays the well right before Hermaeus Mora's presence takes hold. Before the water turns into an ink-black watery mess, spitting eyes and growing tentacles lashing out for another. Because it hold an entire world of new found possibilites in it's wet hands.
With such a setting added I could think of at least one Saxhleel frolicing.
