Jabsco Livewell - Aerator Pumps

When maintaining live bait and catch integrity is mission-critical, anglers and boat builders turn to Jabsco's proven lineup of livewell and aerator pumps. As part of the Xylem family and building on decades of marine pump innovation, Jabsco brings robust engineering and field-tested reliability to the specialized demands of livewell circulation systems.

PAR-Max Diaphragm Technology for Livewell Applications

The cornerstone of Jabsco's livewell offering is the PAR-Max Series, featuring a 4-chamber diaphragm pump design that addresses the unique challenges of bait and catch maintenance. These pumps can run dry without damage and self-prime up to 8 feet, making them forgiving during demanding fishing conditions when water levels fluctuate or air enters the system. The permanent magnet motor features waterproof coating, while compliance with USCG Electrical Standards 183.410 and ISO 8846 marine ignition protection standards ensures safe operation on gasoline-powered vessels.

Engineered for Marine Durability

Jabsco constructs their livewell pumps with corrosion-resistant materials suited to the harsh saltwater environment. The glass-filled polypropylene body produces self-prime suction lift of 10 feet, providing strong water circulation even when mounted above the waterline. Rubber mounting feet absorb vibrations and reduce noise, minimizing stress on live bait during transport. Standard equipment includes the PumpGard strainer and 3/4" hose barb quick-connect fittings, streamlining installation and protecting the pump from debris that could compromise performance.

Multi-Purpose Versatility

While purpose-built for livewell applications, Jabsco's diaphragm pumps offer remarkable versatility across marine fluid-handling needs. These pumps are suitable for bilge, sink, shower, and livewell applications, making them valuable multi-function solutions for space-conscious boat installations. Multi-position ports can be adjusted to simplify installation or maintenance, accommodating tight engine compartments and custom plumbing configurations. This adaptability has made Jabsco livewell pumps popular not only for dedicated bait tanks but also for fish box evacuation and general-purpose water transfer aboard tournament fishing vessels and recreational boats alike.

Tournament-Grade Performance

For anglers who depend on their equipment during competition, Jabsco delivers the flow rates and consistent pressure needed to keep bait lively throughout long days on the water. The multi-chamber design provides smooth flow with low amp draw, reducing electrical system strain during extended livewell operation. The heavy-duty motor includes thermal overload protection, safeguarding against damage during the continuous-run demands of tournament fishing. Whether you're circulating water through a 20-gallon baitwell or maintaining multiple livewells on a professional fishing boat, Jabsco's engineering provides the reliability that serious anglers require.
