Foam needs replacement after a couple years …
We have enjoyed this gauge for a couple years but noticing that the foam insert disintegrating and affecting the measurements … is there a way we could get a new foam cylinder replacement ? The external part is still in great condition.

Great present
Bought this as a present for Mother's Day. My wife loved the look and was blown away by the function of it. Even better, for the next few days our nearly 4 year old wanted to play with it by continuously filling it with water, watching it rise and then dumping it.

Copper raingage
I had one just like this for years. Somewhere in a backyard remodel, the pieces were lost. I found the tube but that was all. I waited to see if the rest would turn up but no. I missed it more than I thought I would so bought another. This one has bigger numbers and is so much easier to read from the window to the backyard Ps when I bought the first one, I bought a second as a gift. That one is still doing its job!

The ideal rain gauge designed you can see it inside!
This rain gauge is attractive and sturdy. The real copper vessel will weather well in the elements. The unique float reading of the rain amount is quite accurate and when it pops up to give the inches, it is easy to read.

Copper Rain Gauge
The rain gauge is a beautiful addition to my daughter-in-law's garden. The combination of copper and colored glass is stunning. It's made of quality materials and should last a long time. She was excited to receive this as a gift.

This is a good rain gauge.
This is a replacemnent for a similar one that wore out. This rain gauge seems to be built better than the previous one.

Beautiful and unique
Gave this as a gift, so not yet sure how well it's working since it's still winter here. But my sister-in-law liked it. It feels sturdy and well constructed. I had kind of hoped the blue vial was glass, but it's a thick plastic. Which, considering the wear and tear of things outside, is probably just fine. (I've had a glass rain gauge that broke so, guess that proves my point!)

Well made
Haven't had a chance to use it yet as it hasn't rained since receiving it but it is very attractive and has a good warranty so I expect it will function just fine.

If water is left in the gauge, will the plastic withstand freezing temperatures without cracking?
Verified reply from Amy
Hello! The inner measurement tube is polycarbonate, the same material from which they make motorcycle windshields — it’s very tough! And the copper part withstands freezing temps too!

Will the copper tarnish/turn or is it coated?
Verified reply from Jen
The copper is not coated, but occasional gentle cleaning will keep the patina at bay. You can clean the tube and flute with warm soapy water and a bottle brush. Do not use lubricants or abrasives.

I have the same problem as the first questioner....my float is damaged. Since you cannot sell just the float, can you provide me with contact information for the artist/manufacturer so that I may inquire about purchasing additional floats from them?
Verified reply from Arianna, Assistant Community Moderator
Thanks for getting in touch. Though we don't sell the float individually, our Customer Service team is glad to replace any lost or damaged items at no cost to you. Please give us a call at (888) 365 - 0056 and we can sort this out!
