This jet aerator is designed to improve oxygen levels in your bait fish tank, ensuring that your bait fish remain fresh and lively, even during longer transport. Traditional air stones can often struggle to maintain sufficient oxygen content over time, but this solution offers a more robust and effective method of oxygenating the water.
The unit works by utilising the water flow from your existing bilge pump. The water is directed over a standard air stone (as typically found in pet shops with an outer diameter of approximately 15.4mm and a length of 21mm), and internal channels in the aerator create a turbulent, rotating water flow. This turbulence maximises the mixing of air and water, effectively increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the tank. For optimal operation, the air hose should be sealed at the inlet to ensure a tight fit.
With an inlet diameter of 19.6mm (OD) and an outlet diameter of 14mm (ID), this jet aerator is a practical piece of fishing gear that integrates seamlessly with your bilge pump to provide a continuous and reliable oxygen supply for your bait fish. An air hose of approximately 3mm (outer ID of approximately 5-6mm depending on pipe type) connects via a 6mm air hole.
Invest in this aerator to improve the lifespan of your bait fish and optimise your boat fishing experience.
