Gill Instruments has introduced the TruMet PW100, an optical rain gauge designed for more accurate rainfall measurement and reduced maintenance. Traditional gauges often suffer from clogging and wear, affecting accuracy, especially in heavy rain. The TruMet PW100 uses an infrared optical method to measure raindrop size and speed, accurately calculating rainfall. This eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance and ensuring consistent data quality, making it suitable for long-term monitoring and precision irrigation planning.
