Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Brannan Rain Gauge is straightforward. Select a level, open location in your garden. Use the integrated mounting features to secure the gauge to a sturdy wooden stake or fence post, ensuring the top of the funnel is perfectly level.
To maintain the longevity of the device:
- Regular Cleaning: Occasionally rinse the funnel and cylinder with water to remove dust, pollen, or insect debris that can skew readings.
- Winter Maintenance: During freezing conditions, empty the cylinder completely to prevent trapped water from expanding and potentially cracking the plastic material.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure the gauge has not shifted due to high winds.
