Winterizing your pool waterfall in 15 minutes
Freeze damage is the number-one killer of outdoor water features. A quick fall routine keeps yours safe.
Shut off the waterfall's water supply and open the drain or union on the feed line so water can't sit in the pipe.
Blow out the line with a shop vac or air compressor if your winters drop below freezing — trapped water expanding in the line is what cracks fittings and waterfall bodies.
Wipe down stainless spillways and sheer descent lips to prevent mineral staining over the off-season, and cover rock features if your area gets heavy ice.
That's it. Come spring, open the valve, check for leaks, and you're back in business.
