La Crosse Waterfall Rain Gauge

This gauge uses a floating marker that rises with the water level inside the collector. You simply look at the scale to see where the marker rests, which eliminates the need to squint at meniscus levels.

Not at all. The collector is designed to be removable, so you can easily lift it out of the mounting bracket to dump the water and rinse it out without having to move the entire unit.

The gauge comes with the necessary hardware to mount it on a variety of surfaces, including deck railings, fences, posts, or flat surfaces. It is versatile enough to be placed almost anywhere in your garden with a clear view of the sky.

No, this is a completely manual, analog device. It relies entirely on gravity and the physical collection of rainwater, so you never have to worry about batteries, wires, or electronic failure.

While the unit is weather-resistant and durable, it is best to remove it during freezing conditions. Water expanding as it turns to ice can crack the plastic collector, so it is safer to store it indoors during the winter.
