Storing your Fountain for Winter
Our fountains are designed for outdoor use primarily during the spring, summer and fall months. Harsh Canadian winter conditions are not suitable for use. 
The image right illustrates what NOT to do with your fountain.
Your fountain should be stored properly when the temperature is below 0°C (32°F), with all water removed, and stored inside the house, garage, or covered enclosure to ensure a long life.
While it is not necessary to store the fountain in a heated location, it is necessary to make sure all pieces are drained of water and completely dry. As the materials used in the construction of these fountains can be porous, water can absorb into the material itself, and thus requires adequate drying time.
The pump should also be removed and drained of all water, and cleaned as necessary.
We suggest keeping the original package to store the item. This will provide a safe and dry storage device.
- Disassemble and dry the fountain parts before storing.
- Use the original packaging when possible.
- Do not store anything heavy on top of the fountain.
- Clean your pump. (Pump Maintenance)
If you are unable to store the fountain indoors the item should be kept dry and covered. Ensure the bowl(s) will not fill with water as the freeze thaw cycle can cause damage to the material and finish.
