      We had one of these rain gauges before -- it lasted 25 year-- thru hail and high winds! It truly was a great find to get another one!

            Comments about Professional Rain Gauge:

            This is the next best thing to a NWS gauge. This is my second one. The first lasted ten plus years and was still functioning fine but had become difficult to read due to continuous exposure to the elements, particularly the sun.

            Be careful when you have to measure amounts greater than one inch that spill over into the larger outside collection cylinder. It is difficult to pour directly into the measuring tube without spilling. I find it useful to pour the overflow into a pitcher with a spout and then pour from the pitcher into the measuring tube.

                Exactly what I wanted - it's my second unit. The first was for my cabin deck in the mountains, the second is for my balcony here in town. Obviously, works well wherever it's installed.

                Easy to read and very accurate. Over time the clear plastic does get opaque and we need to buy a new rain gauge.

                  I have been watching weather since 1970! I have the digital rain gauges and standard 8" NWS gauge but this "Professional Rain Gauge" does it all, more easily, more accurately, and more economically than all the rest! Easy to mount on porch, deck or in garden! Unlike expensive digital and wireless gauges, this baby records Rain AND Snow at a fraction of the cost and is as dead accurate as my official NWS issue 8" gauge. This is the one gauge to buy for all your precipitation needs!

                      I keep daily records of the weather; precipitation, temperatures both high and low as well other important facts. I have used a similar rain gauge since the early 80's which I purchased throough The Weather Channel. It was still good when I replaced it with the new one. It just turned cloudy and became hard to read after all those years. A good product! If you are interested I have a web sit: [@]Thanks!

                          I was given the catalog and wanted a long last rain guage. I found one! I could tell it was well made when I first took it out of the box.

                              This gauge allows you to set it up where it can accurately collect precipitation and you can read it from a distance without getting wet yourself. Easy to read numbers from the distance means you can get a quick read without having to bend over for close examination.
