rainAhead
rainAhead is a strong, reliable and up-to-date rain gauge, which measures rainfall intensity and volume.
The rain gauge can be fitted to a stand. It collects rain in a funnel, which leads the water into the rainAhead measuring system. rainAhead is calibrated from the factory at 0.2 mm rain per pulse. The unique self-emptying bowl is covered by a global patent. rainAhead is one of the most accurate rain gauges on the market.
A Mμ Connect or Chatter unit can measure and calculate rainfall intensity and volume and activate pumps to avert storm flow.
