What Are Livewell Pumps?
Livewell pumps, also known as livewell aerator pumps, are essential components in boats designed for fishing. They are responsible for maintaining a continuous flow of fresh water into the livewell or baitwell, where fish and bait are kept alive and healthy during fishing trips.
How Do Livewell Pumps Work?
Livewell pumps work by drawing water from the surrounding environment and pumping it into the livewell or baitwell. The constant flow of fresh water helps oxygenate the water, remove waste products, and create a suitable environment for fish and bait to thrive.
Why Are Livewell Pumps Important for Fishing?
Livewell pumps play a crucial role in fishing for several reasons:
Fish Health: Livewell pumps provide oxygenated water, ensuring that caught fish remain healthy and active.
Bait Preservation: Bait such as minnows and shrimp can be kept alive and lively in the livewell.
Regulatory Compliance: Some fishing regulations require the use of livewell systems to minimize fish mortality.
What Types of Livewell Pumps Are Available?
There are different types of livewell pumps:
Submersible Pumps: These pumps are installed directly inside the livewell and provide continuous water circulation.
Aerator Pumps: Aerator pumps introduce air into the water to enhance oxygenation and keep fish and bait alive.
Cartridge Pumps: Cartridge pumps are easy to install and replace, making maintenance hassle-free.
How Do I Choose the Right Livewell Pump?
When choosing a livewell pump, consider the following:
Pump Capacity: Choose a pump that can handle the size of your livewell and the number of fish you intend to keep.
Power Source: Livewell pumps can be powered by the boat's electrical system or portable battery.
Pump Type: Depending on your needs, choose between submersible, aerator, or cartridge pumps.
How Do I Install a Livewell Pump?
The installation process for a livewell pump depends on the type and model you have. Generally, it involves securing the pump, connecting it to a power source, and ensuring proper water flow and drainage in the livewell.
What Are the Benefits of Using Livewell Pumps?
Using livewell pumps offers several benefits for anglers:
Fish Health: Livewell pumps help maintain fish health and vitality during fishing trips.
