I was just about ready to try calibrating my tipping bucket on my 3 year old vPro2+DFARS when I noticed Davis had a new upgraded tipping bucket. The old one has a see-saw method of tipping bucket that passes a sensor each time it moves, but most owners have said this sometimes misses the a number of tips from time to time. My values were down by a few mm each day from local sites, so I purchased this from weatherspares and fitted it ASAP. What a difference. I also have a CocoRaHS Rain Gauge to fall back on and so far the new Davis rain gauge is virtually on par with the Manual gauge. If your having issues like me with the tipping bucket, this new gauge should fix your issues. Thanks to Adrian @ weatherspares for a fast and efficient service!
