I used copper scuppers, and they looked great at first, now they’re all patina and green. Ehhh

Either choice will require upkeep; stone needs pumice to remove calcification, copper requires an anti-oxident AND a UV protector (both are paint-ons) to keep the shine. I prefer the pre-treated copper.

Oh no Karen! We’re so sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with copper. A lot of times products are copper plated and unfortunately those don’t hold up well. Solid copper should work great in pools and fountains. These bowls luckily are just that...solid copper.

Chiflipper - Yes, thank you for adding that. Water features definitely require regular upkeep!
