This feeder will dispense food slowly over a 5 hour period for
a gradual, natural feeding. The large rotating hopper typically holds sufficient
food for over 21 days of use. It is fully weatherproofed so it may be mounted on
a pole by the waters edge or suspended over the water. It features an adjustable
feed quantity and timing for all types of pond foods.

mechanism. Check battery operation by visible movement of gear wheel near
