A strong wind blown up my Koi Café to the pond in the spring. It damaged the digital controller, battery (the positive connector Broken), and few wires and connectors.
I found the motor is still functioning. I decided just get some parts and fix it myself. The koi cafe manufacture Sweeney Automatic Feeding System is selling the time controller for $100.00/each (Current is on sale for $75.00/ each) and UB634 battery for $30.00/ each. Quite expensive, isn’t it?

I asked my friend (Internet) to find an alternative solution. I found Wildgame Innovations Digital controller. The price is $29.99 + $4.99 Shipping. Total is less than $35.00. Only 1/3 cost of the original equipment. Bought a new rechargable battery from eBay for $14.00 + free shipping.
Here is the comparison chart I made. Their functions are very similar and compatible. I bought one for try it out.
I bought a bag of new connectors ($2.39/bag) in Home Depot. Here is the unpacked new controller and connectors.
First, Setup and test before make cut any connection. It works perfecte.
Hook it up
Back to the business.
