Maintaining the Rain Collector II
For greatest accuracy, you should thoroughly clean the Rain Collector II at least once or
twice a year.
1. Disconnect the rain collector cable from the junction box.
2. Separate the cone from the base.
3. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean pollen, dirt, and other debris from the
cone, cone screens, and bucket.
4. Use a pipe cleaner to clear the funnel hole in the cone and the drain screens in the
base. When all parts are clean, rinse with clear water.
5. Reattach the cone and replace the screen.
6. Reconnect the rain collector cable to the junction box.
