Arch Flow Scupper in Metal: a wide flat lip that throws one broad sheet of water, 8 to 48 inches
The Outdoor Plus Arch Flow scupper is a boxy metal spout with a wide, flat shelf lip that sends water out in one broad, glassy sheet. It sets into a pool wall or raised bond beam and is made in the USA. Choose 8, 12, 24, 36, or 48 inches wide in copper, which darkens toward a brown patina, or stainless steel, which stays bright.
Your builder connects the supply line to the threaded inlet at the back. Prefer a rounded lip that rolls the water over? The Smooth Flow Radius scupper curves down and over. The Arch Flow scupper ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How does the Arch Flow Scupper shape its stream?
As the name says, it launches the water in a clean arch that projects away from the wall before it lands. That arc gives the Arch Flow real presence over a pool, and how far it reaches is set by flow rate, which your installer tunes at the valve.
What sizes and finishes does the Arch Flow come in?
Five widths of 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 inches, in three finish families: copper (OPT-ARF8 through OPT-ARF48), stainless steel with the -SS suffix, and powder coat. That third option makes the Arch Flow one of the few wide scuppers you can color-match to other powder-coated features.
Which finish should I choose for the Arch Flow?
Copper develops a living patina and suits natural stone; stainless steel stays bright and modern with minimal care; powder coat lets the Arch Flow match a color scheme. Coastal and saltwater installs lean stainless or powder coat, with regular fresh-water rinses either way.
Who should install the Arch Flow Scupper?
A pool contractor or landscape plumber. Because the Arch Flow throws water outward, placement matters: the installer positions it so the arc lands where intended at your chosen flow rate, then plumbs it to a recirculating line with a balancing valve. Plan it into the wall design early.
Does the Arch Flow Scupper need winter protection?
The metal itself, no; solid copper or stainless shrugs off ice and snow. What matters is draining the supply line behind the Arch Flow before hard freezes, which is normally part of standard pool closing. It stays mounted year-round with no cover required.
Do scuppers like the Arch Flow work for swimming pools?
They are made for them. The Arch Flow mounts in a raised wall or bond beam and pours into the pool, running off the pool’s own recirculating water. It adds motion, sound, and a cooling visual without consuming any water beyond normal evaporation.
Is the Arch Flow water-only, and can I pair it with fire?
It is water-only, with no gas components. For the full resort scene, flank it with fire: many builders set the Arch Flow between a pair of water bowls or add a fire bowl on the same wall so the arch of water plays against flame at night.
