Here we see a snapshot of the Power Jet Plus Aerator in action where we can see the 8 lpm aspiration goal is reached.
Below, we see a 2x Improvement over one of the better performing aeration products on the market, Brand "X", featured on the left. With the new Power Jet Plus, featured on the right, we see Plume penetration is reduced which also reduces livewell turbulence – another goal achieved with Flow-Rite's new aerator.
First impression might leave the viewer with a positive feeling regarding how the aeration "looks" with the "Brand X" product on the left. This plume's bubbles are distributed across the tank. However, upon closer scrutiny one must consider the exit velocity required to project buoyant bubbles across the tank. Further, the bubble plume from the Power Jet Plus Aerator's new design, on the right, presents a cloud of finer bubbles with half the forced penetration into the tank, thus giving more air and less turbulence . . . A win -win!
Tank turbulence should be avoided because it can damage costly bait and/or game fish!
It's important to note, the new Power Jet Plus Aerator achieves a flight path within the target aspiration performance goals of healthy fish, with less power needed from a pump!
Looking at graph below, we see that depending on the gph pump used, the best aeration product available does not fully meet the now understood 7-9lpm aspiration rate.
The Power Jet Plus Aerator also achieves success with both the 800 and 1200 gph pumps down to 200 mm installation depths.
Looking again at the overall performance of the Power Jet Plus Aerator in the graph below, we see that it's capable of meeting the oxygenation requirements set forth previously in this research.
In addition, the soft plume created by the aerator results in a less turbulent environment to help keep fish calm and happy.
Based on the information and research in these articles, Flow-Rite has developed our best performing Livewell Aerator yet!
