Flow Rite Aerator Systems: Engineering Fish-Healthy Livewells

When it comes to keeping your catch alive from the moment it hits the livewell to the tournament weigh-in, the quality of your aerator system makes all the difference. Flow Rite Controls has built a well-earned reputation as one of the most technically advanced manufacturers in the marine aerator systems category — and their product lineup backs it up with patented engineering, real-world research, and a deep understanding of fish physiology.

The PowerJet Advantage: More Oxygen, Less Stress

At the heart of Flow Rite's aerator lineup is the PowerJet and PowerJet Plus Aerator — flagship products that represent the state of the art in livewell aeration technology. These high-performance aerators use a powerful water jet to agitate the water and infuse it with oxygen, ensuring that fish stay healthy and alive. What sets the PowerJet family apart is a careful balance between oxygenation and fish welfare: powerful water jets agitate the water and infuse it with oxygen, while also creating soft plumes so as not to disturb or harm fish, keeping them less stressed, healthy, and alive.

The PowerJet Plus takes that engineering even further. Its new design presents a cloud of finer bubbles with half the forced penetration into the tank, delivering more air and less turbulence — a critical consideration, since tank turbulence can damage costly bait and game fish. This refinement is the result of Flow Rite's own empirical research program, enabling the company to categorize the performance of their aerators — which already set industry standards for oxygenation — and develop a premier addition to their aerator product suite.

Versatile Aerator Kits for Every Livewell Setup

Flow Rite doesn't stop at standalone aerator nozzles. Their aerator systems range from purpose-built combo kits to simple retrofit solutions, giving anglers options regardless of how their boat is currently plumbed.

• PowerJet Aerator: Designed for easy installation with durable, corrosion-resistant construction built to withstand the harsh marine environment, and compatible with most standard 3/4" livewell and baitwell fittings.
• Qwik-Lok Pump-Out / Aerator Combo Kit: A high-quality and reliable solution for aerating and draining livewells on boats, featuring the patented Qwik-Lok connection for easy installation and removal. It also allows your recirculating pump to pump out the livewell while in the water or on the trailer.
• Barbed Pump-Out / Aerator Combo Kit: The pump-out system allows you to easily empty the livewell, while the aerator ensures constant water flow and oxygenation — and the barbed design ensures a secure and leak-free connection to your livewell plumbing.
• Pump-Out Aerator Kit (Retrofit): A perfect solution for those looking to quickly and easily convert their boat's livewell into a pump-out system, designed for use with 3/4" thru-hull fittings with everything needed for the retrofit included. The kit also includes a custom-designed Venturi aerator nozzle, which injects air into the water stream to keep fish alive and healthy.
