Small home waterfalls can easily be disassembled and drained according to the product's instructions. This may be the only option available for tabletop and smaller floor models due to a small water volume in the basin.

Larger water features require the use of a pump to drain the water. You may use the pump from the waterfall to remove the water, or purchase an additional pump from a local retailer.

Siphoning is a manual way of pumping water using a hose and bucket. You must insert one end of the hose into the basin well below the water line, and suck water through the hose until it nearly reaches the end. When you lower this end into the bucket, gravity will pull the water through the hose, creating a vacuum. The bucket must be placed lower than the fountain basin for this method to work.

After you add fresh water to your fountain or waterfall, we recommend adding a treatment solution to maintain healthy water.
