Agustin,

In addition to the companies that Bruce mentioned, there is one more 
company that also provides both manual and automated ET-Gage (modified 
atmometer). The capacity of the reservoir of the gage is up to 200 mm and 
filled with DI water. I've been collecting data to evaluate the performance 
of the gage, and the results look pretty good so far. It measures grass 
reference ET (ETo) and can also be adjusted to measure alfalfa reference ET 
(ETr) by changing the canvas cover on top of the gage.

The info of the manufacturer is as follow:

Thanks Suat, we look forward to including a link to your results on the et
page. I've already added this other atmometer you mentioned
