Johnson Pump In-Well Aerator Kit - 34024

Johnson Pump In-Well Aerator Kit (34024)

The Johnson Pump 34024 is a comprehensive, easy-to-install aeration system designed to keep bait or catch alive and healthy in any livewell or portable tank. This "In-Well" kit is the perfect solution for boats that do not have a built-in thru-hull livewell system or for anglers who want to convert a standard cooler or chest into a functional bait station.

Efficient Oxygenation Technology

The heart of the kit is a submersible 500 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) pump that sits at the bottom of the tank. It draws water in and pushes it through a specialized spray bar that infuses the water with oxygen. This process mimics a natural environment, ensuring that even delicate baitfish like minnows or shrimp remain lively throughout a long day of fishing.

Key Features:

• Complete DIY Solution: The kit includes everything needed to set up an aeration system: a 500 GPH pump, spray bar, hose, battery clips, and mounting suction cups.

• Universal Application: Ideal for use in plastic containers, ice chests, or integrated boat livewells that require supplemental oxygenation.

• Submersible 500 GPH Pump: Features a reliable Johnson Pump motor with a stainless steel shaft and a high-impact ABS housing for long-term durability.

• Adjustable Spray Bar: The included spray bar can be cut or positioned to fit your specific tank size, ensuring optimal water circulation and aeration.

• Portable or Permanent: Includes heavy-duty battery clips for temporary use (connecting directly to a 12V battery) but can also be hard-wired into a boat's electrical system.

• Suction Cup Mounting: Strong suction cups allow for quick installation and removal without the need for drilling holes in your tank or boat.

• Saltwater Tough: All components are made from marine-grade materials designed to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater.

Why Choose the Johnson 34024 Aerator Kit?

The 34024 is a favorite among tournament anglers and weekend hobbyists because of its simplicity. Unlike complicated thru-hull setups, this kit can be moved from boat to boat or used on a pier. It is particularly effective at keeping bait alive in stagnant water by constantly breaking the surface tension and introducing fresh oxygen.

Pro-Tip for Bait Longevity:

For the best results, position the spray bar so the water hits the surface at an angle. This creates a circular current in the tank, which helps the fish breathe more easily and prevents them from huddling in the corners where oxygen levels can be lower.
