BaitWell Buddy System
How it Works:
Bilge pump sits inside of a canister surrounded by a filter. The pump pulls in water from the live well through slots in the can passing through the filter and then expels the filtered water out into the live well through a specially designed venturi adding clean oxygenated water back into the live well. The expulsion creates a current into the live well keeping the bait and/or fish moving.
What's Included:
- Main canister with secure lid (4¾" diameter × 5½" tall)
- Inner filter support sleeve
- High-performance filter SEAFLO 350 GPH bilge pump
- Air tube for venturi connection
- Venturi system for oxygen infusion
- Heavy-duty suction cups (4) for secure mounting
2. Mount the System
- Position the canister in your live well or bait tank
- Press firmly to ensure suction cups are securely attached to a clean, smooth surface
- Run the venturi tube outside of the tank and secure to allow venturi to pull in oxygen, or attach to the top inside edge of live well or bait tank
- Connect the pump to your boat's 12V power supply
- Test the system to ensure proper water flow and aeration
- Verify all connections are secure and leak-free
- Confirm water is flowing through the filter and venturi is creating bubbles
- Adjust positioning if needed for optimal performance
Maintenance: Rinse filters regularly for best performance. Filter life will vary depending upon water conditions and frequency of use. Filter should last several months under normal use. Replacement filters available.
