i want to know what is the function of the Filter and feeder and how does it works. Also i want to know what is the use of shaker/steamer tops.

The shaker top is for things like shredded Parmesan cheese and other spices you may want to use. The steamer top is for steaming veggies but im not sure what the filter and feeder is.

The picture shows a mounting bracket because you can mount it. That is what I did. There is a removable screen in the feeder that allows for drainage. I have found that rain water does not collect in the feeder. The seed gets damp, but there is not a pool of water. The bottom of the wooden part of the feeder is not solid and the metal screen allows for drainage. I have been very pleased with my feeder. The construction of the feeder is very good.

It is intended to filter tapwater to remove chlorine and other stuff in the water. It is not intended (to my knowledge) for filtering dirty river water.

You have to lift off the top and pour the water out of bottom unit. Fast it filters around two cups at a time.

It is continuous feed. You run the faucet, turn on the switch then feed in food waste.

Hi Misha. We got this feeder a few months ago. The thimble-sized top, with the ring in it, is actually a bolt that holds the cap onto the top of the feeder. So grab that top knob and unscrew it. Then you can pull the cap off and fill the feeder.

The purpose of this portafilter is to troubleshoot your grinding and tamping technique. If your technique is good you will see a single stream on the center of the portafilter. If it's not so good there will be all sorts of problems like secondary streams, squirts coming out of the periphery of the filter and an off-center stream. I had a lot of those issues and troubleshooting them one by one has improved my pulls greatly.

I use this in conjunction with an over the top filter. I guess it would depend if the filter media was cycled with good bacteria and how many fish you have.

How do you judge effectiveness of a filter? I have a very healthy 55 gallon saltwater set up but this filter is only a part of my filtration. I wish they offered a larger one. I am certain this contributes to the success of my aquarium. The filter cartridge comes apart so you can change the filter media without constantly buying new cartridges. I don't have an issue with mineral build up, I'm sure if you have any kind of a serious build up it would impact the effectiveness, how could it not?

I just received mine today and it has two "buttons" that you push to disconnect the polycarbonate cylinder from the bottom of the feeder. To fully dismantle the bottom, however, you need to unscrew the bottom metal plate. It is held on by two small Phillips-head screws. There are small drain holes in the bottom, too---I am guessing that they will let any water that gets in there to pass through. Nicely made feeder!

The filter filters the water going into the bowl. I don't know if the filter will do that. Also I use mine for my two cats. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

There is a plastic baffle. I have two of these feeders. They're fine for something as small as sunflower chips but when I use millet for the buntings, it does have a tendency to overflow - I can't put in more than an a few inches of millet at a time.

It does filter some types of chemicals. I bought it to filter water in a survival situation, so I mainly wanted it to filter protozoa and the like. I would suggest some type of charcoal filter system for better tasting water and chemical filtering. I must tell you that I am no expert. I only know what I have read. I hope this helps.

there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

Sadly, I don't know. I have looked for them myself but I have not been able to find any. That being said, I might be able to answer your questions on how it's supposed to function. I use this item myself and it's fairly simple to use. What do you want to know about it?

There are 2 large "filters" that water runs over, picking up moisture and is blown out the top. Right now I have the unit turned down about half way and it's putting a gal. and a half of water per day in the air. GREAT unit!!
