Rainfall and sprinkler checks in one tool
The Taylor 2715 2-in-1 Rain Gauge and Sprinkler Gauge gives gardeners a simple way to read natural rainfall and check how much water a sprinkler places in a zone. That dual role is useful around lawns, new seed patches, garden beds, and wide planting areas.
The goal is a measured cue. Instead of guessing from wet leaves or damp pavement, the gauge gives the water a number.
Use it during timed sprinkler sessions
For a sprinkler check, set the gauge level in the watering zone, run the sprinkler for a known amount of time, then read the collected water. Move the gauge to a few spots across the zone when coverage needs a clearer picture.
That routine can help with patch repair, overseeding, and broad garden watering because it shows how much water reaches the surface.
Keep the reading fresh
Empty the gauge between uses. Rainfall, sprinkler runs, and hand watering should each start with a clear tube so the reading belongs to that session.
The yellow body also helps the gauge stay visible in grass or near a bed edge. Store it near sprinkler parts so it is ready when a watering check is planned.
