A: Hi - you may be using the wrong bit of tubing to connect the pump. If you reach out to us through your Target account we can troubleshoot the issue with you and help you out. Thank you.

A: Hi - that really depends on how fast you are running the pump, if the fountain is placed in a sunny location, and your climate. That said, bubbler fountains such as this one generally don't run all that fast and don't have as much splash associated with them, so even in a hot, dry climate you probably will only need to top it of once or twice a week. Hope that helps! Thank you for the question.
