Rain chain has become a common accessory to add
aesthetic charm to any home. Such chains are fashionable, functional and highly
affordable, that are used for collecting rainwater for use in household. A
century old accessory, rain chains are now available in various shapes and
forms and are used till date. These chains are placed on the roof of a house followed
by series of links culminating into a large barrel or bucket. This phenomenon
of saving water is a delight to watch and listen to flowing water.
The rain chains have simple functioning. These work
when rainwater hits the roof and flows downwards into sloped horizontal gutter.
Through downspout, water flow changes from horizontal to vertical passing through
cups and links attached together vertically. The water cascading into the basin
or barrel placed below is a soothing sight. The rain chain is primarily made of
copper instead wood or ceramic used centuries before, which is not only eco-friendly
but highly durable and exists for years.
Copper rain chain adds to the aesthetic appeal with
its color that makes the chain attractive. These chains are highly demanded over
traditional rain chains that wear out over time. Copper rain chain when exposed
to air for years does not rust or corrode. The pleasant sight of rainwater
flowing is believed to bring happiness and prosperity along with beauty and
charm like the wind chimes. The water hitting the metal cups gives a sense of
ocean or a small rippling stream. During rainy days, one can spend entire day
watching and listening to this visual delight.
