Testing & setup was performed by our Chief Scientist & Principal Engineer Hank Bonnah.
Here we see a snapshot of PowerJet II design in action. We see an 800 gph pump punching out 9lpm air aspiration at a depth of 150 mm.
A series of comparative empirical assessments was used across this research article series in parts 1-4.
The evaluation also looked at the % “on time” (Duty Cycle) required to keep stressed fish safe and alive in the most demanding situations. Below, we see the assessment of Flow-Rite’s Power Jet Plus Aerator vs. “Brands X, Y, and Z.”
Red% in the above graph means the pump system cannot properly keep up with the fish's needs. Flow-Rite's Power Jet Plus Aerator provides the proper amount of oxygen to allow fish to recover, return to optimal health, and fight another day!
This new design stands upon the shoulders of the Campau invention US Patent 5,876,639.
• New research in the biology of livewell management coupled with well understood water chemistry revealed current venturi-based aspiration aerators are not presently up to the task of now understood needs.
• The Power Jet Plus Aerator design doubles the aspiration whilst reducing the aerator jet speed thus increasing oxygen with less turbulence upon the fish.
• The Power Jet Plus aerator brings next level performance while simultaneously reducing power requirements and providing a significantly healthier environment for fish.
