Know before you buy
Yes, because this spout is made of 100% copper, it will naturally develop a rich, dark patina when exposed to the elements. If you prefer to maintain the original bright finish, you will need to apply a clear metal sealant periodically.
While the copper is rust-free and durable, it is generally not recommended for use in saltwater pools or high-salinity environments, as salt can accelerate the oxidation process and potentially degrade the finish faster than in freshwater applications.
The spout features a standard 1/2-inch Male NPT connection. You will need to ensure your existing water line is equipped with a matching 1/2-inch female fitting for a secure, leak-free installation.
The backplate is designed primarily to conceal the plumbing connection and provide a clean aesthetic finish. It is not a structural gasket, so we recommend using a bead of outdoor-rated silicone sealant around the edge during installation to prevent water from seeping behind the mounting surface.
This model is specifically engineered for small water features with a flow rate of 1-2 GPM. If you are looking for a dramatic waterfall effect for a large pool, this spout will likely be too small and may not provide the desired visual impact.
