How automatic fish feeders work

A word about cookies before we continue

You determine when and how much the JBL automatic feeder should feed. You can also ignore the set program at any time and start feeding manually. The selectable ejection width ensures that the slightly smaller or weaker pond fish also receive food.

Mount, programme feeding times and quantities (10 steps), fill with food and set throwing range to 0.5 or 1.0 m. Manual feeding possible The water temperature sensor (included), which you can position in any water depth up to 3 m, shows you the water temperature digitally on the waterproof display. So you can always select the right food to suit the prevailing water temperature. The JBL ProPond food concept has been developed to take the season, water temperature, living conditions and size of the fish into account. Accurately feeds your pond fish the amount of food you set, up to 24 times a day (e.g. for juvenile fish), reliably and independent of the electricity supply. For all JBL pond foods or others, up to 9 mm diameter.Auto feeders without any doubt offer the best method for growing Koi, feeding smaller amounts throughout the day is far better than just feeding for example before you go to work and again when you return.

Feeds the pond fish up to 24 times a day independently of electricity, the amount of feed can be easily adjusted. The feeding times and quantities can be programmed in 10 levels, the ejection distance can be set from 0.5 to 1 metre. Most Automatic fish feeders work in the same way. They consist of a rotating drum where you put the food, a motor that turns the drum, and a timer that turns the motor on and off. You set the timer to feed the fish at say 1pm in the afternoon, set the time on the timer and when 1pm comes the motor turns the drum and fish food falls out through a little window in the rotating drum, into the tank below. Sit-on or clamp-on automatic fish feeders Automatic feeders can feed once, twice, three or 4 times per day, depending on the make and model. If once a day is plenty then any feeder will do but if you want up to four feeds per day, make sure your prospective feeder can be programmed to do that. Decide how much you want to feed The AutoFood remembers the time and feeding settings even when switched off, so you shouldn’t need to reprogram it every time you use it, and the display has an indicator to warn you if the batteries are reaching the end of their life.With the built-in solar panel with Li-ion battery, the machine can be operated independently of electricity. Of course, the machine can also be connected directly to a power source using the 5 m power cable. The blue highlighted area on the map below is where we deliver on our own vehicle!

An automatic feeder for pond fish has many advantages: Your koi and other pond fish are reliably supplied with food when you are away on holiday or on weekend trips. You decide when and how much the JBL automatic feeder has to feed. But you can also ignore the set programme at any time and start feeding manually. The selectable throwing range ensures that even the slightly smaller or weaker pond fish are fed. Feeding your fish while on holiday can be a problem. For shorter trips, your fish should be none the worse for a few days fasting, but for longer holidays it can be a considerable headache. Asking relatives or neighbours to help poses the risk of overfeeding and polluted tanks. Energy source selectable: use built-in solar panel with rechargeable battery or connect directly to power source via 5mtr mains cable.

So you can always choose the right type of food to match the prevailing water temperature. The exception is the Fishmate Automatic Fish Feeder, which can feed fish tanks for a maximum of 14 days due to the way it’s designed. You could also place different dry foods into each of its 14 compartments and alter the amount in each daily compartment too. It's long established and one of the best automatic fish feeders. What food is best for an automatic feeder? They can deliver a set amount of food at the same time each day, or even several times a day, keeping your fish just as well-fed as when you’re there to feed them yourself. Automatic feeders must be placed directly over the aquarium, so the first deciding factor is how you are going to fit it onto the tank. Flat-topped aquariums with lid flaps may already have a hole for an automatic feeder, or you could make a hole, or remove one of the lid flaps and place the feeder so it hangs just over the edge and releases food into the water below. There’s also a connection for an air pump hose to prevent moisture from the aquarium making the food damp.
