AcuRite Wireless Self-Emptying Digital Rain Gauge (00899), Multicolor

Q: When it rains, the alarm comes on. But it never registers more than .1 of an inch, even if we get 3 inches. How do I fix it?

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?

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?

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?

The collector will never have more than equiv. of 0.01 inches in it and that can be cleared electronically.
