With Acurite rain gauges, keeping track of rainfall is easier than ever. Acurite offers both electronic rain measurement systems and redesigned, easy-to-use manual tracking systems. Their popular electronic units have taken into account the most common complaints and problems with manual rain gauge systems. They are affordable and easy to start using.
Gardeners and farmers need to know exactly how much rain falls each day. Since this can happen overnight and measuring rain is difficult, rain gauges are very useful. These well-designed units are perfect those who don’t want to over-water their plants. During the growing season, the correct amount of moisture is crucial for many plants and crops. Gardeners that simply water every morning regardless of rainfall may actually kill their plants!
In areas where flooding is common, the need to track rainfall is even more important. Homeowners may know that certain rain levels spell trouble for their basements or other property. By tracking rainfall, they can proactively take steps to protect their property before flooding occurs.
Many people create manual rain measuring devices, but these require day-to-day maintenance. Forgetting to empty the manual gauge on a daily basis makes it difficult to keep track of rainfall levels. The Acurite unit solves this problem with a self-emptying system. Even in severely powerful storms, the unit routinely empties itself while continuing to track the total rainfall.
The wide collection basin helps the system measure rainfall for the entire area. This is essential to getting an accurate reading. The depth of the basin also keeps wind from effecting the results. A protective screen also keeps debris and leaves from interfering with the measurements.
These units track rainfall over a 24-hour period and accumulate totals. The console display has a 100-foot range for wireless sensor transmission. The transmitter will work through walls and windows. Users will not have to go outside to check the readings. This is just one of the many intuitive features that makes this rain gauge easy to use.
The monitor can also be configured to sound alarms when rain levels reach a certain level. These alarms can be set with the granularity of 1/2-inch increments. The monitor only requires two AA batteries. A handy sensor will also alert users when the batteries are getting low. It will sound an alert if its wireless connection to the basin is somehow weakened or lost.
The digital LCD readout displays totals in large, easy-to-read print that can be read with just a quick glance. The low-profile unit also doubles as a calendar and a clock. The display can rest on a table top or be mounted on a wall. This versatile little unit is easy to program and is also covered by a one year warranty.
Acurite rain gauges are made of durable materials made to withstand the worst outdoor weather conditions. Acurite also produces many non-digital gauges that can be attached to fences, placed in gardens and offer a quick, affordable way to measure general rainfall. Regardless of the system, Acurite produces reliable, high-quality gauges that make it easy to track rainfall.
