On Time 50003 Elite Lifetime Fish Feeder 25 Gallon Capacity

The On Time 50003 Elite Lifetime Fish Feeder delivers consistent, automated feeding for pond management and aquaculture operations. This 25-gallon capacity system eliminates the guesswork from fish feeding schedules while reducing labor costs and improving feed conversion rates.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic gravity feeders, the Elite Lifetime features a built-in agitator rod that prevents feed bridging and ensures consistent flow rates. The welded steel band construction withstands harsh outdoor conditions that destroy plastic alternatives within seasons. The precision timer mechanism operates reliably in temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F, maintaining feeding schedules year-round.

Key Features

• 25-gallon hopper capacity reduces refill frequency for large pond operations
• Built-in agitator rod prevents feed clumping and ensures consistent dispensing
• Welded steel band construction with powder-coated finish resists corrosion
• Adjustable timer controls feeding intervals from 1 to 12 times daily
• Variable feed volume settings accommodate different fish sizes and densities
• Weather-resistant housing protects internal components from moisture
• Universal mounting bracket fits standard dock posts and pier structures

Field testing demonstrates reliable operation across diverse aquaculture applications, from recreational pond management to commercial fish farming. The system maintains consistent feed delivery in windy conditions that affect lighter competitors. Multiple pond operators report improved fish growth rates and reduced feed waste compared to manual feeding methods. The robust construction handles continuous outdoor exposure without the cracking or UV degradation common in plastic units.
