Rain Gauges

ICT can supply a range of rain gauges to suit your application and budget. All are based on the tipping-bucket principle but vary in collection area, bucket size, accuracy, construction and cost.

Rain gauges are also available with a logger to allow you to automatically monitor rainfall, and with control devices to allow you to control other equipment such as pumps and sprinklers.
