Get a small stainless steel strainer to replace the one that came with your
rain collector.  Wal-Mart has a set of three sizes that will fit.  I used
the smallest.  It works great, and has not required maintenance in two
years.

FWIW, I have a Davis Vantage Pro II, wireless.  It's been running about 
6 years now and I would not do anything different.   I did have to 
change the battery for the first time in the external unit (Davis says 2
years is more normal!)

The only recurring issue I have is debris collecting and blocking the rain
gauge.

 From what I have read, the Davis units last longer than most.
