The Boat Livewell Aerator System typically includes a 12V or 24V marine-grade pump with a flow rate of 500-800 GPH. Pumps are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like polypropylene or stainless steel. Hose sizes range from 3/4" to 1.5" ID. Buoyancy depends on the housing design, often made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or ABS plastic. Viscosity compatibility varies by pump type, with most handling low-viscosity fluids like water. Aerator systems may include check valves and adjustable nozzles for optimal oxygenation.
Marine pumps are available in centrifugal or diaphragm designs, with sizes ranging from 1/2" to 2" NPT connections. Common materials include bronze, nylon, or thermoplastic for saltwater resistance. Grade varies by application (bilge, livewell, washdown). Viscosity tolerance is typically under 1000 cSt. Buoyant components may use closed-cell foam or sealed housings. Electrical ratings are usually IP67 or higher for waterproofing. Pump motors are brushless or magnetic-drive for durability.
