Overview
A nesting tube design lets the small sprinkler gauge slot into the bottom of the rain gauge tube, so the pair works as one rain gauge or as two separate collectors in different spots. It mounts to a post or straight into the ground.
Two gauges in one let you measure rain at one spot and sprinkler output at another, or nest them into a single taller gauge. A bright yellow body and weather resistant build make it easy to spot outdoors. The limitation is that readings are manual, so there is no history or alert.
Who it's for
A gardener tracking whether plants get enough weekly water, or someone comparing rain with sprinkler coverage in two spots, gets what this does. Anyone wanting stored readings or alerts should choose a weather station instead.
Pros and cons
- Two gauges in one
- Nests into a single tube
- Post or ground mounting
- Weather resistant build
- Manual reading only
- No history or alerts
- Material not listed
Performance notes
Each gauge collects water in its tube so depth can be read directly. The small sprinkler gauge is meant for checking irrigation output, while the larger tube handles rainfall over time. Placement in open ground matters for both, because overhangs and shrubs change what lands in the tube.
