Can the fountain be left outside in winter? Does it have to be level to work right?

I did not leave it outside in the winter and yes it has to be level to work right. enjoy

I live in NJ and bring the fountain in during the winter. The sand finish is very thin and would chip right off if left out all year. My fountain is angled down slightly and works great

We have ours on the patio - got it last spring. Looks great! Left it out all winter, but it's important that you bring the pump inside for the winter. We did not level ours and it works just fine. We have it on a timer so it comes on at 9 AM and off at 9 PM.

I live in Texas so my fountain is outdoors all year. We only get a few days below freezing so it hasn't been a problem. It should be fairly level to prevent the water from spilling over the top. You don't have to worry about making it perfectly level. The pump is submerged.

My fountain is left outside year round. I have yet to notice any wear. However, I do live in San Diego, CA.Its been great.

Yeah I have out running all year round, but then again I'm in So Cal. Regarding the leveling, yeah it needs to be level for it to work right, if not you will have to keep the water level low so it doesn't spill.

I left it out and it's not working now.. All one color so looks pretty fake.

Yes you can. I am using it right now to divert the water from the sump pump to the street or the back yard. In the winter I cannot divert it to the street because it will freeze on the sidewalk or the street. So it drains in the back yard. When temps are above 32 degrees then I change it to the street. Works very well.

No, The Warm Water Will Need To Circulate Through The Pump To Keep The Inner Lines From Freezing. You Would Have To Have The Pump On The Entire Winter With ThIs Heater

I just drain it. It does end up getting snow melt and snow in it during the winter, and i'm sure it does freeze that way......but it hasn't cracked on me yet, there must be enough stretch to it.

We do drain it before storing for winter. It does not sit in water when not in use, so we don't feel it takes on much water.

Yes I leave it up year around. It will sag In the Middle a little and that is where water will collect and drip. I would think it would Block the sun in the winter making it colder unless positioned like a wall. It would keep the wind out. I hope that Helps.

Yes you can leave the pump out all winter. It automatically starts & stops every couple of minutes and this keeps the water from freezing in the pump or in the purge hose.

I would certainly not keep water in it through the winter. I bring my rain barrel inside--either my garage or my storage shed. I think it would make it through he winter if empty but I do not plan to do that.

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

Hi Nafeesa, This really is a lovely birdbath, but I wouldn't leave water in it if the temperatures are below freezing. The ceramic can crack. I will sometimes put water in during the day and empty it out at about sundown. Hope this helps!

Yes. Even if you left water in the pond during freezing weather, the shape of the pond would probably allow the ice to pop out and not damage the pond itself. Just to be sure, though, I would empty the pond before freezing weather.

If you want to winterize a system, just put in a tee, a valve and run the open tube outside the dwelling. You would then just need to shut off the water source and open the valve to drain the system. Just make sure that the tee is the lowest point in the system...you may need multiple tees and valves to easily drain all the water out....

Yes. You need to park in the middle if the pad and of course the garage surface should be level. With this snowy winter I have been draining the water of the pad often.

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

This will be our 3rd summer with the pool and we have left it up year round. The first year, we drained it, and last year we didn't. I have had no issues with the exterior walls even with the unexpected snow and ice we had this winter in Louisiana!

Hi, Tracy. We live where it freezes and snows all winter, so, no, we do not leave it out then. If it were drained, it might be okay, but it is portable enough for my husband to carry it to the basement for winter storage. This is our second summer using this pump and it is still pumping strong.

I live in southeastern ohio and this is the first year I've had the pool. Was debating on leaving it up or not. When reading the instructions it does say you can leave it up for winter. Not sure what to do.
