Hey guys,

I have 3 stren feeders on my new pond and with all the recent rains they have gotten submerged under water. The pond has run outside of it's banks(apparently the drain pipe was installed just a little to high on the damn) so all three of my feeders are sitting in around 1' of water. Has anyone here had any experience with this kind of situation? I'm sure that the food in the feeder is bad but am concerned about the two motors that have gotten wet. ALso are there parts available if needed? Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

During the drout of 1999 and 2000 the water level was down about 3 feet. I moved my sweeney feeder closer to the water as not to waste feed on the ground. A big rain came and before I could get to the farm the feeder was almost totally submerged. I got the feed out, hosed the inside out and it still runs fine.
Hope you have the same good results.
