Does this give one "burst" per hour, or a constant slow feed?

Constant slow feed, just plug into a basic timer and use the included chart to set flow amount and duration. or get fancy and expensive and buy a co2 controller. Mines ran off just a cheap timer and works great.

It's a constant, but adjustable feed. I use it with a contrller called a ppm4 to keep my co2 levels at 1500ppm, witch is the optimum level. The controller was about 165. How this helps

Yes - standard "delay brew" setting works pretty well. Even maintained its time and settings through a brief power bump recently when nothing else did, so I guess kudos for that.

I haven't noticed that at all. I've cranked it up past 50 a few times with nothing out of order. Wonder if something else is interfering with the signal?

The feeder feeds on clock time, not days of the month. It will continue until batteries deplete. Mine has been dispensing food for 2 months and batteries still ok.

It seems like your source setting is incorrect. Recommend looking at manual and/or YouTube video.

That's the biggest problem with this item. You have to be at the time you want and you set the hours you want till the next feeding & turn on. I have 2 units, one set for 1:30 am & pm and the other at 7:30 am & pm. They each lose 1-2 minutes every day & need to be reset at 1:30 & 7.30. Using 2 units at 12 hrs means I only have to fill them every other day. I hope this helps and is not too confusing.

That doesn't sound right. You may have gotten a bad unit but if you can swap out the power supply and see if that helps. I have two of these that have been running almost continuously 24/7 for 2 years with 0 problems. I am using the model GS608. Unless the unit is getting overly hot or the power feeding it is bad it shouldn't be doing what you describe. I am using them to condense several 10/1100 IP camera frame data into 1 GB line going to a router. So they are working pretty hard.

This happened to me when I got a new high-powered microwave. What I ended up doing was experimenting with the power levels. What has worked for me now is setting my power to 5, and then popping for 3:30. Works like a charm now, but a bit of a pain unfortunately.

No auto feed and I don't know if it works with Windows 8, it never worked at all aside from the test print page when it was first hooked up. It died after that.

Should not need to buffer very much (except when switching stations). I am on slowish DSL also.

Mine took so long that I gave up on it. I should check again. I would recommend not overloading the system with meat.

I have two that linked just fine. In addition to Melissa F's comment I found that setting the bandwidth to auto helps as I wasn't able to use the maximum bandwidth. Also make sure to save your settings from the top of the left menu. Unit should reboot after. I had problems with it not saving while using certain versions of Firefox.

We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often. We set the feeder to deliver food once an hour in very small quantities. The timer allows you to dispense food as often as every 15 minutes for the full 24 hr day. We dispensed at 1x per hour. The feeder is also adjustable to allow for different size dry pellets but not sure if a tablespoon quantitiy could be dropped, but we drop very small quantities. If you decide to purchase, I would look at the digital timer instead of the analog mechanical one as that part was the only negative issue we have experienced. The sales folks at Superfeeder were also very helpful so I would contact them too with any questions. We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often.

Try using the slow spped setting which is what you should be using most of time anyway Good luck

It requires two 50 ampere feeds which might cause overcurrent on a 125 ampre service with multiple loads on as well. Probably need to try the smaller versions.

I've wondered the same thing. But my skimmer only does it for the first 10 mins. I just crank it down before I change the media and crank it back up when I remember.

I have not had any problems with mine. I use the slow speed almost 100% of the time.
