[OZAPRS] Suggestion weather station

[Michael Wain]

I have been running the Electus XC0348 ( the same as the Altronics X7062) , 
and yes the rain buckets stop to work 6 months after installing, pulled 
apart the bucket unit and found a spider had set up home inside, and the 
buckets inside where covered in cob webs, clean the cob webs out, evicted 
the spider, spay surface spider spay inside the unit, and never looked at it 
again, to this day it still working and that was 18 months ago.
