Product information

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.

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 intoa ccount.

The JBL ProPond AutoFood is completely weatherproof and rainproof.

The following applies to all JBL PROPOND pond foods and others up to 9 mm in diameter:

Caution in frost:
The automatic feeder has lithium batteries, which should only be charged from a temperature of 0°C, otherwise the battery will be damaged. As the solar panel would also charge the battery at temperatures below 0°C (on a sunny day), the device needs to be dismantled in winter. In winter, the amount of food is most likely too high for the fish's needs anyway. As the solar panel would also charge the battery at temperatures below 0°C (on a sunny day), the device needs to be dismantled in winter. In winter, the amount of food is most likely too high for the fish's needs anyway. Temperatures below 0°C => Store the device and cover the solar panel.
Or cover the solar panel so that the battery does not charge and continue to use the device until -20°C (discharged). But then check the battery level regularly. Only charge the battery at temperatures above 0°C.

FAQ
Changing food in the automatic feeder for pond fish – Important points.

If you add a new type of food to your JBL PROPOND AUTOFOOD, you need to observe the maximum granulation of 9 mm. Fill up to 25 l of food into the automatic feeder, make the settings for up to 24 feedings per day and set the throwing range to 0,5 m or 1 m. Heavy and large granulates can behave differently to small ones. It’s best to make a few test feeds and note how much you are dispensing. Do not use too large flakes and granules as this will lead to a clogging of the screw conveyors. If you keep an eye on the general conditions, you can use almost any standard feed for koi and garden pond fish. They will not have to restrict their diet in any way.

How long does the battery of the automatic pond feeder keep?

The JBL PROPOND AUTOFOOD automatic feeder for garden ponds has an integrated battery with 7200 mAh. The additional integrated solar panel charges the integrated battery in daylight and sunlight. Provided that no light at all reaches the panel, the battery is able to supply food several times a day for a period of over a week. Depending on the quantity, up to three weeks of self-sufficient feeding can be possible. Since the battery even charges in winter, the device can work absolutely self-sufficiently and does not usually require any electrical connection.

Are there accessories missing from my box of JBL PROPOND AUTOFOOD?

No, you can rest assured. The power supply unit and the temperature sensor are in the storage compartment (1a) in the food container (1). See picture.

KOI: Are you feeding them to live, or just exist?

Mi è appena arrivato, curioso di provarlo

Ich besitze vier solcher Automaten, vom Prinzip sind die super,

bin mit den Einstellmöglichkeiten, etc. sehr zufrieden.

Leider sind die nur nicht so langlebig, bei mir in der Forellenaufzucht, stehen die Sommer wie Winter draussen, bisher halten die bei mir nur ca. 1 Jahr und sind dann defekt.

Vielleicht kann hier bei der Qualität bei den Kunststoffen nachgearbeitet werden und ich würde mehr Sterne vergeben.

A good piece of kit, well built, sturdy and all the settings you need. Holds a good amount of food and the warning LEDs for low food is a nice touch.

Nutze den Autofood seit Anfang des Jahres an meinem Koiteich. Er arbeitet zuverlässig, was den Urlaub erleichtert.

Für die volle Wertung reicht es nicht, weil nur tägliche Fütterung möglich ist (im Winter zuviel). So kann der Automat in der kalten Jahreszeit nicht genutzt werden.

Außerdem sind keine Softwareupdates möglich, um solche Fehler nachzubessern.

Schade eigentlich.

Ich habe den Autofood jetzt seit der letzten Saison am Koiteich stehen und bin voll zufrieden. Er funktioniert einwandfrei und zuverlässig. Der größte Pluspunkt ist sein Solarpanel, somit keine lästigen Kabel am Teich. Von meiner Seite aus eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
