Velda 3000ml Fish Feeder Pro

I have used the Velda Pro fish feeder for seven years. Excellent kit. It stopped working this year. The control panel was placed in an electrical box outside.. Brought a replacement at £259 all good so far. Then found out the control panel would not hold the time. You could set the feed times. And how much , but wouldn’t hold the time. Tried three different control panels. Sent emails to the Velda company, no reply’s. We now know there’s a bad batch of control panels in the county. So sadly had to return the product. Can’t find a replacement that is equal, that runs on mains electric. Do not want a a battery item.

Based on the cost of the product, I would have expected a plug to be either attached to the feeder or included in the box, but this was not the case. Also, the carry handle on the feeder is quite sharp on your fingers.This is rather a big item and finding somewhere to place it is going to be a challenge - but I must admit that this is all new to me.

I purchased this so as to not get any more earache from the dragon about having to feed more fish whilst I'm away. Quality bit of kit and easy to install. Different interchangeable screws that are easy to change, these need to be tested to find the best dose amount depending on food size. Easy to program, make sure you save the time and date (unlike me) as it won't work and the fish don't get fed for a week!! It works faultlessly now. I need to get a weatherproof enclosure for the programmer as my pond is in the open, the unit comes with a long lead so if you have a shed nearby that would be ideal.
