Got my fountain yesterday. I broke off two of the fountain jets while trying to position them. They are just glued on and not very well. I was having problems with the water pressure as well. I re-glued all the jets with epoxy glue for plastic and replaced the batteries. It now works great. I think that the water was leaking from around the bottom of the jets that caused the pressure to go down. I just wish there was an option to run the lights only, the pump must suck up a lot of power from the batteries. It seems like lots of disney items are now battery powered, what ever happened to a good old wall plug? I have to say that visually the fountain is beautiful and even if it did not work I would still be happy to stare at it!!! Besides, it makes my tiki drummer and Tongaroa happy - now they are asking for the Barker Bird (how do I break it to them that stupid me missed out on that one when they were on sale at disneydirect)
