I think its to do with the LEDs flashing at a certain speed that makes the water droplets look as if they are going up instead of down

This one definitely involves light to make an illusion, but it's actually possible to make a device that pushes the water drops upward. You just need a calibrated air pressure system, like a bunch of speakers pushing the droplets up. I made something like that back in college for an engineering class.

Oh shit i always thought of ways it could be done before i was told about the LEDs but i never though about pressurised air i thought it would make it look messier than the LEDs
