The hole will clog so the bubbles will eventually stop I do use distilled water so it's not because I'm using the wrong type of water I used to steal because minerals will clog up from tap water so I am doing the right thing with that but it's still clogged the remote is broke try to contact Wayfair to see if I can get a replacement remote they tried to contact the manufacturer and it was a no-go they never even respond back so those are my tips but do you still water not like it makes a lot of sense though cuz your holes are still going to clog up and you will not get no bubbles
