Keep Alive Live bait tank and aerator equipment report

[Saltheart]

Hi John. This system works a little different. There is an air line that comes up to a valve on the outside of the tank. It sucks air in and mixes it with the water. That way it never has to pump the water up to the surface. Without the hydostatic head to overcome , the circulation is incredible. It mixes in little fine air bubbles so the water looks like ginger ale just full of micro fine bubbles.
Last year I tried the bilge pump and Rubbermaid tank and went as far as wrapping the pump in panty hose to keep the scales off the screen. Didn't work well at all. This year I was going to try to build a screen cage around the pump. Say about a foot square. That way there would be lots of area so the scales wouldn't clog it. A large capacity bilge pump might be OK without the screen. Anyway , I got this thing and its great!
