Rain Collector Heater, Vantage Pro2

Keep measuring precipitation all winter. The Davis Rain Collector Heater warms only the inside of the rain collector and the cone, melting snow and ice at a rate of up to 1/4" (6 mm) of liquid precipitation per hour. Use it in cold climates to measure freezing rain and the water content of snowfall.

Compatibility: old-style Vantage Pro2 (and Vantage Pro) rain collectors. Not compatible with AeroCone rain cones, the Vantage Vue station or Davis solar power kits — the heater must be plugged into an electrical outlet. Check which rain cone your station uses before ordering.
