Hi,
I have the wm918 station & have enlarged the collector on the rain guage to give a more detailed reading.
I now get a reading approx every .2mm instead of the previous 1mm.
One thing I have now thought of is that this of course means much more tipping action than before & with an av rainfall of about 650mm that means over 3000 cycles of the tipper compared to 650 before in one year.
My main concern is that it is generally known that the wm918 is not the most reliable or accurate station about (although I have had no problems so far) & by increasing the tipping cycles I may be prematurely reducing the life of the rain guage since I assume like anything mechanical, it has a finite life.
maybe I should buy another rain guage now for when or if this one gives up.
what do other reckon?? or am I worried about nothing.
thanks
