Floating Rain Gauge
Eureka! Easy-Read Rain Gauge
This unusual copper rain
gauge is stylish and easy to
read too, because it
works on the theory of
displacement discovered
by Archimedes: a float (calibrated in 1/4"
increments) rises as rainwater fills
the copper vessel.
A stylish way to learn how much rain has fallen
Fluted copper vessel and blue float beautify
your garden
Accurate and easy to read
Comes complete with decorative iron stake

Comments about Floating Rain Gauge:
It works beautifully provided that the floater is clean enough to slide easily. Those who complain should try cleaning it because ours measures even a small amount of rain. After 3 years the polystyrene buoy rotted and we bought 5 new gauges, one for us and the rest for friends. A good, simple, well made product that I recommend highly.

Comments about Floating Rain Gauge:
I bought this for my husband for Christmas 2008, so this is the first summer to use it. We had several of the plastic ones that set on the ground, but they broke & we couldn't see it from indoors. This is great, nice looking in the landscaping, & easy to see from inside. Don't know yet how the styrofoam piece inside the plastic tube will hold up over time, but as another person said it shouldn't be hard to replace.
Pros

Comments about Floating Rain Gauge:
We bought this for my husband at Christmas but couldn't put it out in the winter. It has been in our yard for about a month and we noticed the tip of the spiral holder is rusting and transferring the rust the underside of the copper cup. An outdoor product made for the rain should not rust. Now we have to take the time and money to correct the problem. Disappointed.

Comments about Floating Rain Gauge:
It tells me when we have had enough rain that I can turn off my sprinkler system. That is important to save resources and water costs.

This rain gauge is very easy to read from inside our house which makes it perfect for my husband who checks it often. The down side is, we haven't had much rain since we put it in the yard.

Comments about Floating Rain Gauge:
We purchased one for ourselves several years ago. It's very attractive and easy to read from inside the house. The only drawback was that it lacked a mounting bracket for the deck railing where we wanted it so had to make our own. I have purchased another one for my brother-in-law (who has everything) for this Christmas and I know he will like it.
