Also, the Mai Kai may only employ a maintanance guy for small things, and hire out the larger plumbing/refrigeration ect. items to a service company. The pump for the window effect went down, called the service company to repair. Parts or replacement pump on order. Refrigeration and stoves/ovens would be first priority to keep spares on hand (food and drink is where there money is at...window effect not so much). Also, there may be a cost factor involved. Maybe they're a bit over budget and need to cut back on some things. Electricity is one thing the pump uses, and the water is recurculating. However, the water supply needs to be replenished due to evaporation. I have a small fountain outside my house that I have to refill daily due to evaporation. I can't imagine what the water bill for the Mai Kai is. Ice machines, dishwashers, rain effect, gardens.... maybe they shut the water effect down at slower periods to save a bit of money.
