On the battery issue, I have converted many battery powered devices to A/C power. You can get an adjustable voltage power adaptor at Radio Shack (or even Walmart) and wire up a small plug that ties to the battery box on the fountain. It can either be soldered in place or if keeping it original is important then a couple of wood dowels can be inserted in place of the batteries with a tab wedged between the dowel and the battery box tabs (the wire leads for the power adaptor plug then attach to the tabs). It's nuts that they didn't make this fountain A/C if it goes through the batteries that fast!
