Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Diamond Feeders?

I hadn't heard of them until I read the advertisement in Pondboss... I'm inclined to go with the ones Greg Grimes sells just due to his participation here on the forums. The diamonds advertise a lifetime guarantee vs. 3 or 4 years. I don't know if that is a big deal or not. Looking at their website, I note that they have a specific model that is more varmit resistant. Shouldn't they all be? Anyone here have any experience with them?

I think I'm right in saying this they have a higher price as well. They sent me info to be a dealer and I know my price was higher but of course happy with Aquapro anyway. That is a good warranty but will they indeed stand behind it? I have seen a few problems with Aquapro and varmints but very few. Because the food leaves the lower unit via 2 motors and it is all in hopper this discourages the critters.

I purchased two feeders from Greg Grimes because everything I read on the forum indicated he backed his product. Also I read sometime back where he went to bat for someone that had purchased elsewhere and was having problems. His products are good and he keeps his word.

Ranger, Remember that a Warranty is only good if the company actually stands behind it or is still aroung 5 yrs. from now. Not saying Diamond won't be around, but believe we (Sweeney) and Aquapro have stood the test of time. I am always leary of "Lifetime Warranty's". Ours is 3 yrs. UNCONDITIONAL, and I know that Greg stands behind his product. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Billy you are one classy guy. thanks for the kind words.

bklem,

You guys were impressive in your service of my Sweeney timers. I appreciate your effort.

Question: Do you offer any kind of retrofitting service for my 5-6 year old feeders? It would be nice if I could get the new auger style to try it out without dropping 600 bucks. I saw that you've got 10% off going right now. You'll be hearing from me.

Bruce, You can purchase a retrofit auger system for $125.00. No need to buy the whole feeder. They are not on sale because they are considered a part so our dealers don't even get a cut off or I would have you go through Greg. Just give me a call.
Thanks,
