Pool Scuppers

What a pool scupper does

A water scupper sits in a raised pool wall, spa wall or raised planter, with the water line feeding the water inlet at the back of the spout. Pool circulation supplies the water. A valve sets the flow. The spout shapes a round stream, clean sheet or rain. Want a vessel too? Pool water bowls have a scupper in their front edge.

Spouts: from a single stream to a curtain of rain

The five mini scuppers give you a small pour for a spa wall or planter. Round tubes fire one solid stream, while V-shaped spouts gather the water to a pointed stream. Flat and rolled lips throw a clean sheet, and wide lips give you a broad glassy sheet. A box with a row of nozzles drops a curtain of separate streams like rain. The tall wall channel runs water down its face and off its bottom lip. Widths run from 2 to 48 inches, and three in a row suits a longer wall. You should measure the wall before choosing widths and spacing. Hammered copper darkens toward a patina, while brushed stainless steel stays bright with an occasional wipe.

Water sculptures for the pool edge

The built-to-order Designer Series offers 15 colors, with shapes including a sail, arch and sphere. Five sculptures add a flame above lava rock, using natural gas or propane. A licensed gas fitter runs the gas line. For a vessel with both effects, consider fire and water bowls.

Pieces that go with a scupper

Place pool fire bowls between spouts for fire without another spill. A copper scupper matches a copper fire pit or fire bowl. Elsewhere in your landscape, outdoor water fountains have their own basin and need no pool.

FAQ

What is a scupper?

A pool scupper is a spout set into a raised wall that pours into the pool or spa below. The name comes from the openings that let water run off a boat's deck. Plumbing feeds it from behind. Its shape creates a stream, sheet or curtain of rain.

Do pool scuppers need a separate pump?

The spout has no pump. Pool equipment supplies it. Builders usually provide a separate pump or valved line to keep the pour even. A wide sheet or several spouts need more flow than one tube. Ask your pool builder to plan the supply.

Copper or stainless steel?

Copper darkens toward a patina and suits stone or earth-toned walls. Stainless steel stays bright with an occasional wipe and handles sprinklers, salt air and pool chemicals. It suits modern tile. The sculptures offer 15 powder-coat colors instead.

Can I buy pool scuppers myself and have my builder install them?

Yes, but have your builder confirm the width and open or threaded back before building the wall. Owners say copper develops patina within months near chlorinated water. Choose hammered copper for an aged look or brushed stainless steel to stay bright. Call us with your builder's questions.
