A new twist on a classic device, the highly visible, blue polycarbonate fluid indicator rises from an elegant copper flute to show water accumulation. Because the measurement tube floats up, you can gauge the amount of water from up to 30 feet away simply by observing how much of the tube is exposed. The measurement tube is brightly marked in + inch increments and will measure up to 6 inches of water. Standing on a 24 inch stake, no bending is required to read it. And this rain gauge is unbreakable for years of reliable service. The solid copper flute will weather gracefully to a rich patina.
