Rain chains originated in Japan, 100s of years ago. The typical materials used for a rain chain are copper, brass or aluminum. They help move water from gutters to a designated area on the ground, like a traditional downspout. During this process, the water flowing down the rain chain provides elegant water formations that catch the eye, and calming sounds.
Water molecules are very cohesive and they want to stick to one another, often creating what appears as a “skin” on the surface of water, allowing bugs to float on top of water, or keeping water from spilling over the edge of a cup. The same idea applies to a rain chain. Surface tension allows the water to cling to the chains as it flows toward the ground. This surface tension is important to keeping splashing to a minimum, preventing damage to your home.
