WaterFlow Index​
Many customers have requested an easy way to compare the water-handling capabilities of our rain chains, as well as the amount of splashing that occurs. To address these concerns, we have introduced the Waterflow Index™, a simple graphic that represents the performance and efficiency of our products. This index ranges from one to five droplets and can be found on the right side of every product page.
For instance, our #1313 Large Copper Link rain chain (seen above) receives a rating of 1 on the Waterflow Index™ as it produces the most splashing and delivers the least amount of water directly to the ground. However, if the chain is positioned away from walkways or walls, this may still be suitable as it helps reduce erosion by breaking the fall of water to the ground.

On the other hand, our #4013 XL Tulip Cup (seen on the left) stands out with a top rating of 5 for its superior water containment and minimal splashing.
Other products range between 1 and 5 on the Waterflow Index™. For inquiries or assistance, feel free to contact us at (813) 388-8379‬. We are here to help and address any questions you may have.
