so next came a davis vantage vue, this has now got problems with water ingress and killing batteries every 3 months it's about 16 months old

So the questions are, what is a reliable station? what do I get next ? am I expecting to much from them?
any brand anybody would recommend, any sensors that last and can be put together easily either swapped into a clone station or a pi
I'm at a loss as to what to try next.
Suggestions very welcome please
