But it never registers more than .1 of an inch, even if we get 3 inches. How do I fix it?** A: i'm having the same problem. we had over an inch of rain over the weekend and it read "00.0". i'm going to try changing the battery. if that don't work i'm going too contact amazon. sorry, i can't help you. **Q: Does this need to be mounted, or can it just sit on the ground?** A: I guess it can be, however, for safety of the gage it should be mounted, for mine I use a 2x4x8 , I cut about ten inches off, drove the 2x4x8 in the ground then nailed the 10inch piece on the top ( as in a T shape). I then mounted the gage ontop. This is very secure and easy. Once mounted the battery can be change without having to unmount the gage. Note, mineis about 30ft fom the receiver insidean works fine. Hope this helps **Q: I have had several wireless rain gauges and they only seem to work for a year or so. Does anyone have it for say 3 years and have it still working?** A: My second unit is was purchased in 2017. It has worked properly the entire time. I just moved and will be buying another very soon. I'm replacing the rain gauge because if it sits in the direct sun for a significant portion of the day, the plastic housing gets brittle. The tabs on mine broke long ago and it is now held together with tape. Functional but not pretty. The unit does require some maintenance. I've found that in the spring and fall, "tree trash" can collect in the cup and block the inlet. I've also have to clear the spiders out from time to time. I highly recommend this product. So much so, i will be buying #3 in the near future. **Q: Can I make it empty using wireless from inside? To clear a little bit of rain and start fresh?** A: The collector will never have more than equiv. of 0.01 inches in it and that can be cleared electronically. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great *by L***Y on July 11, 2026* Good price, easy to set up and works great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to set up! *by J***E on June 10, 2026* This rain gauge was easy to set up and has been working perfectly. Sometimes setting up the data on the receiver is difficult but this one was very simple. Very happy with this purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and accurate *by R***1 on June 23, 2021* If you use the correct force and removal procedure the plastic tabs on the outside unit will tend to not break. Ham-fisted or sloppy operation will likely break them. The batteries that are in that outside are very well protected if the installation procedures and suggestions are followed. Wireless Connection is easy, fast, and automatic if you follow directions. The display is easy to read and very clear. The unit auto-empties reliably. The measurement of rainfall, compared to other methods, is accurate and reliable. Mine stopped working and I removed the outer cup to get to the auto-emptying paddles within the outside unit. I had two spiders with webs that had taken up occupancy on the curved paddles. I cleaned them (the paddles, not the spiders) and used double-sided tape to attach a small piece of insect repellent plastic, harvested and repurposed from the Hot Shot 100046114 No-Pest Strip, on the inside of the cup to prevent re-infestation. I used a tiny bit of dry lubricant on the pivot point of the paddles at the beginning of the season to enhance the movement of the paddles. If the collection cup is left outside during freezing temperature, it will more than likely be ok, except that it won't work. There isn't any standing water left in the cup at any time due to the auto-emptying feature. The ports in the bottom of the cup need to be cleaned 2 or 3 times a season by running a pipe cleaner through them. I moisten the pipe cleaners with bleach to help keep the ports clean. It is an outside device, after all, and it is subject to getting clogged based on your installation point. With reasonable and easy care, ours has lasted three seasons with zero problems. Highly recommended except for one detail that, for me, is really annoying: the unit cannot be manually cleared. Daily rainfall from midnight to midnight is great. Rainfall from yesterday added to today is great. Weekly rainfall is ok. But what if you have a 4 day rain period that you'd like to know about? It would be great if there was a "clear" button that would manually reset the unit whenever desired. The cheaper version of this receiver has a clear button, but not this one. A very minor point, but, still a bit irritating. Remove the batteries to clear the unit works fine, but then the time and date and units, etc. have to be reset. ## Frequently Bought Together - AcuRite Wireless Digital Rain Gauge with Self-Emptying Collector with Rainfall History, Alerts, and Current Date and Time (00899), Multicolor - AcuRite 5" Capacity Easy-to-Read Magnifying Rain Gauge, Acrylic (00850A3) - JMBay Rain Gauge Outdoor, Accurate rain gauges Outdoors Best Rated, Tall rain Gauge for Yard with Stake, Decorative rain Measure Gauge for Garden, Deck, Lawn with Large Numbers, Adjustable Height --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/3684174-wireless-digital-rain-gauge-with-self-emptying-collector-with-rainfall](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/3684174-wireless-digital-rain-gauge-with-self-emptying-collector-with-rainfall) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
