THE OXYGENATOR™ Bait Keeper

THE OXYGENATOR Bait Keeper is designed for 2-5 gallons of water. THE OXYGENATOR operates with an on/off cycle indicated with a green LED and runs totally silent. You will not hear it operate. The (4) “AA” batteries should last about 4-5 days of continuous running. THE OXYGENATOR will NOT create a highly visible bubble action. Bubbles generated by THE OXYGENATOR are nano-bubbles and are so small they are difficult to see. Bait action in the bait bucket will make the bubbles invisible, however the unit will still be generating oxygen. Warm water holds less oxygen than cold water, so oxygen must be added to warm water more frequently to maintain proper levels of dissolved oxygen. THE OXYGENATOR contains a temperature sensor that tells the unit how much oxygen to produce based on water temperature. You will not have to make any adjustments. Simply turn on the unit and go fishing! A mineral deposit will build up on the screen of THE OXYGENATOR. You must clean THE OXYGENATOR after every use. A nylon brush has been supplied with your oxygenator. If the build up gets substantial you can clean it with a 50/50 mixture of a calcium-cleaning product.

THE OXYGENATOR is designed for FRESH WATER use only. DO NOT use the unit in salt-water applications. Use of salt or additives containing salt MUST BE AVOIDED. Adding pure oxygen to your bait bucket reduces stress in your bait, so these additives are not typically required. Non-salt containing additives are available commercially. Be sure to check the label before using such products.

Some bait stores add salt or additives containing salt to their bait tanks to help maintain the slime coat of minnows. When using your oxygenator under these conditions, BE SURE to change the water before turning on your unit. Check with your bait dealer when purchasing your bait to determine if they use salt or additives containing salt in their water.

Fish create CO2 during respiration and excrete waste (ammonia) during storage in your bait bucket. These wastes must be eliminated from the water. CO2 can be released by occasional agitation of the water. Ammonia can be removed by replacing some water in the bait bucket every 1-2 hours. $39.95 plus $10 shipping and handling.
