Water Bowl Scuppers
Two pieces, and really one decision: whether the bowl should be part of what you look at, or whether the water should simply appear out of the wall. Everything else is the same as any other wall scupper.
How a bowl scupper differs from a spout
A standard wall scupper is the outlet itself. The water arrives at the back of the wall and leaves through a shaped lip, so the only thing on show is the fall. Our pool scuppers range is built that way.
A bowl scupper puts a vessel in front of that. The bowl holds water, which gives you a still surface sitting above a moving one, and the fall then comes off a rim rather than out of an opening. If what you want is the metal and the shaped lip without the bowl, the hammered copper scuppers range is the one to compare against.
Round Cazo or rectangular Maya
The Cazo is round, which reads the same from any angle and suits a curved bond beam, a stone wall or a spot where nothing else sets a line. The Maya is rectangular, so it answers tile, block or a straight coping run and lines up with the geometry already there.
Both are the same idea at different proportions, and the choice is almost entirely about the wall rather than about the water. Our wider decorative scuppers range covers the other faces and outlines we carry.
Copper, stainless steel, and what to check
Each of the two carries both a copper tag and a stainless steel tag, so this is not a single-metal collection: the finish is selected per piece. Copper darkens and takes a patina over years, which is chosen for exactly that. Stainless steel holds its tone and is the usual answer near salt air.
- Confirm the wall can carry it. A bowl on a wall is a mounted load, so the structure behind it matters.
- Set the lip height over the water. That distance sets the sound and how far the sheet travels before it lands.
- Pick the metal on the product page. Both finishes are offered, so the collection name does not decide it.
- Read what ships. Each page lists what comes with the piece, and the plumbing belongs with the pool builder.
- Drain and cover for winter. Standing water in a bowl is the thing that freezes.
Bowl Scupper FAQs
What is a bowl scupper?
A water bowl mounted on a wall rather than standing on the deck. Water fills the bowl and then spills over the lip, so the bowl itself is the thing the water comes out of.
It gives you a still surface above the fall, which a plain spout cannot do, and the fall is a sheet off a rim rather than a jet from an opening.
How many are there?
Two: the round Cazo and the rectangular Maya, both by The Outdoor Plus.
This is a small collection on purpose. If neither shape fits the wall, the wider scupper ranges linked above hold the other outlines we carry.
Which shape suits which wall?
Round for a curved bond beam, a stone wall or any spot that does not already set a line. Rectangular for tile, block or a straight coping run, where it can line up with what is there.
If the wall has a strong grid, the rectangle usually wins. If it has none, the round reads easier.
Copper or stainless steel?
Both pieces are offered in both, so it is a product-page choice rather than a difference between the two designs. Copper changes color over time and is picked for that. Stainless steel holds its tone and is the usual specification near the coast.
Whichever you choose, the shape and the way the water leaves the bowl are the same.
Will the copper change color?
Yes, and it is not damage. Copper outdoors darkens through browns and can move toward green, depending on the climate and how much rain and water reach it.
It keeps going rather than stopping at one shade. Most owners prefer where it ends up to where it started, which is the usual reason copper gets specified in the first place.
Who installs it?
The product page is the place to start, because it lists what ships with the scupper and what has to be provided on site.
Anything that joins a gas line or a pool line is work for a qualified installer or the pool builder. That is not a formality: the connection is the part that has to be right, and it is the part a product photo cannot show you.
What do I do with it over winter?
Drain it anywhere the temperature drops below freezing. Water left sitting in a mounted bowl expands as it turns to ice, and that is the one thing that does real damage to an outdoor water feature.
Then cover it, so rain and snow cannot refill it over the off season. If the piece runs a pump, bring the pump and tubing indoors as well.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes, every bowl scupper here ships free to the lower 48 contiguous states. Most are made to order, so lead times run by piece and are shown on the product page. Heavier items travel by freight and the carrier calls to arrange delivery.
