How does a rain gauge work?
A rain gauge collects rainfall in a container, often with an outer cylinder and measuring tube, allowing you to record the exact water collected over time.
Can this gauge measure more than just rain?
Yes. It is primarily designed for rainfall, but it can also record other forms of precipitation, including light snow when it melts inside the cylinder.
Why should I use a rain gauge instead of guessing?
By tracking how much rain falls, you avoid over-watering your plants or wasting water in your garden. It gives an accurate reading compared to relying on estimates.
What is the purpose of the inner cylinder?
The inner cylinder provides precise readings in millimetres, while the larger outer section acts as overflow for heavier rain.
Can I use this with different garden systems?
Yes. Whether you have sprinklers, drip systems, or manual watering, the bucket rain measurement helps you manage irrigation more effectively.
Is the Nylex Rain Gauge durable outdoors?
Yes. It is UV-resistant, made from strong plastic, and designed to withstand changing weather conditions.
Where should I place my rain gauge?
Install it in an open space, away from trees, fences, or roofs, so that precipitation falls directly into the gauge without obstruction.
