I initially told of the fountain quitting after just 3 or 4 days, but discovered when night came that it was the outlet that was dead (circuit breaker had flipped).  I don't think I would blame the fountain for this, so fingers crossed that it keeps working because I really like it.  As someone else said, it would be nice if it had an on/off switch so you didn't have to bend down and unplug it all of the time.
