Review on 🐠 Enhanced Fish Mate P7000 Automatic Pond Fish Feeder by Autumn Campbell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This works great if you figure out a few things first.

This product works great if you figure out a few things first. It's pretty easy to put together and seems like a good design. You must follow the programming instructions. First you set the clock, then go through and set up up to three feedings per day with a specific amount of food for each feeding. You will need to go through the calibration portion of the process to measure how much feed is being dispensed at level 10 and then adjust the feed amount up or down based on your specific fish count and pond size. We have three koi and have adjusted our initial estimates because we found a lot of uneaten food in the pond. The biggest challenge for us was arranging the feeding trough so that it is distributed in the pond and is safe from raccoons and other animals. Animals that enter our garden from the forest behind our fence. Luckily, several people have shared their solutions on Revain, and I say "thank you" for sharing your ideas. We liked the bucket idea to protect the feeder from the sun, rain and pests. We've found our cat litter buckets work great and have a handle for hanging. We just happen to have a stick of unused insect repellent that has worked well for us so far. We love this setup so much that we can use it all the time, not just on vacation. I'd love to find a way to have more flexibility when placing it over a pond, but it might take a bit more work. After some use we found that ours didn't last a week at only 1 feeding per day. at the lowest level. I don't know why, but it could be raccoons. I've seen them put their little paws in their spouts, presumably to get more food out for the fish. We were gone for a week and when we came back it was empty. I think we need to put it out of reach of the raccoons or find a net to attach a grommet to hold their paws. We still like it, but more work is needed.
