Anyone know a suitable replacement for a LaCrosse WS2315? (Googled
and have something on the way from RS but would welcome a
recommendation!)

If it's the same spec. as the Davis bucket then this will do....

I assume it's a tipping bucket gauge like my WMII, unless you have a
connection problem or break in the wire it may need it's reed switch
replacing. You can pick these up quite cheaply from RS Component's.
I have a couple of spares and the RS Part No. is 229-3670

Thanks Keith - that's the one I managed to Google for so hopefully
it'll do the business! Until then I'll have to rely on good old
manual measuring technology!



Which is actually more accurate!

Will.


Yep - wouldn't want to bother the neighbours with requests for readings
while I'm away though!
