I was unable to push the foam all the way into the tube. About 1/8” remains below tube, therefore I am not confident the readings will be accurate.
I’ve had this rain gauge for over 5 years. Excellent quality. The replacement parts fit like a glove 🧤. I expect to get 5 more years of enjoyable service. If you leave some water in the guage hummingbirds will use it for a perch & lookout 🫡 point for their feeder.
The replacement kit came very quickly. The installation directions were a little confusing. It said to put the glue on the inside of the tube before inserting the foam. After putting the glue on the foam only went in about 2 inches before getting stuck in the glue. I could not push it in any farther or pull it out. After much effort I pulled it out, let the glue dry and tried to insert the foam again. It’s very difficult. I have it all in but the last quarter inch.
6" Replacement Rain Gauge Measurement Tube. Includes Foam Float
I've owned 2 World's Coolest Rain Gauge's for several years now and they're wonderful. They are a bit pricey (but, what's not these days?) but the fact that I can get replacement parts makes them more affordable.
And this rain gauge is DEFINITELY aptly named.
Attention to detail and finished look of product are all I could ask for.
This foam replacement kit is the same quality as the original rain gauge (which I've had for 10 years). The kit included everything, including a toothpick to spread the glue, that I needed to replace the foam insert. The instructions were clear and concise.
Purchased as spare floats. The original float was the first thing to deteriorate…although that lasted more than four years. Happy to have spares on-hand. It’s nice that the company offers the replacement items. Great shopping experience.
I’m happy to give my beautiful rain gauge a much needed restoration. Easy to order and great customer support.
I've been wanting to purchase one like this. It hasn't rained since we got it but I know that will come soon enough!
The guarantee this company provides is accurate. My gauge leaked and didn't register rainfall properly, and they sent a new core and sealer no questions asked. Highly recommend. Their gauges are beautiful, too. I appreciate the fact that I can clamp my gauge onto a balcony railing, since I live in a condo and can't attach it anywhere else. Yay!
Found the sight online to replace my inside piece to my rain gauge. Order came in 4 days and fits perfectly.
Love this gauge. I bought one for my son and my daughter who bought one for her mother-n-law. Love this gauge. I bought one for my son and my daughter who bought one for her mother-n-law.
Had a few questions before using the glue so sent an email. Very quick response directed me on what to do and now the gauge is back outside waiting on some much needed rain!
Very happy that the replacement part was offered. Ordering and shipping was fast and easy. Have not had enough rain yet to test it!
Nice to be able to replace just the insert. Delivery was fast.
After a friend was talking about their new rain gauge, I realized that they were talking about one like I’d had years ago. I had ordered replacement floats but then couldn’t find my blue plastic tube. I cleaned up the copper and ordered the replacement tube with foam insert. Good as new! Thanks!
Thank you for generously replacing the 6” rain gauge measurement tube. I can read how much rain has fallen from inside my house. The design is attractive and easily read!

I very much appreciate the replacements you sent! Thank you. I still have a question about use of the adhesive as that was not part an original design factor. Once I used the adhesive in the past, I could never remove the float to clean or replace it. Once the adhesive is applied, it seems that the float can never be replaced in the cylinder to which it was applied. Am I correct? It is for this reason that I choose not to apply the adhesive. Please advise. Janet Heidinger
Truly is the coolest. Very different
Excellent product and Excellent Service, Communication and Speedy Service Thank you
