USER INSTRUCTIONS FOR FISH FEEDER PRO
INTRODUCTION
With this automatic feeder, you are in possession of a sophisticated and advanced
feeding system for the garden pond. Whether it is a decorative pond with goldfish or
a special pond with koi carp, all types of fish will benefit from sufficient and regular
feedings. Velda has given much thought to the user-friendliness, feeding frequency
and construction of this system. We wish you much pleasure with the Fish Feeder Pro.
GENERAL
In the wild, fish are constantly looking for food and their digestive system is adapted
to this. Their gastrointestinal tract is short and accordingly, so is the digestion of food.
In the pond, excessive amounts of feed can lead to indigestion and pollution of the
environment. A healthy fish population with constant growth will be obtained by
feeding measured amounts of feed several times a day. Especially during holiday
periods and in poor weather conditions, the fish will be 'forgotten' at times. With the
Fish Feeder Pro this problem is solved. Velda has specially developed this feeding
device to ensure the feedings in measured amounts multiple times per day. During
holidays, but also in bad weather, your fish are daily assured of regular feedings with
consistent amounts. With the Fish Feeder Pro, you feed the desired amount, which
you program, up to twenty times a day. As all the feed will be eaten, the pond
environment will not become extra polluted and your fish will stay healthy. Certainly
for ornamental carp lovers, a sophisticated feeding of these fish is important for
obtaining an optimal range of colouring and a constant growth.
The feeding device has a capacity of approx. 3 litres. It includes a sight-glass to keep
track of the level of feed in the container. The sophisticated design of the feeder and
the feeding mechanism stops moisture getting into the feed. The device also
includes four removable feed screws for dispensing various types of feed: one screw
with teeth for flake and natural feeds and three specially designed worm screws for
various grades of pellet from 3 to 12 mm. The amount of feed per dose varies
depending on the worm screw used.You can test the dose dispensed with each screw
and select the number of doses per feed. The Fish Feeder Pro has a digital operating
display. The display is splash-proof with an LCD screen. The settings for the feeding
times and doses are preserved even after a mains interruption.
