Livewell oxygen generators for bass boats, Oxygenator® O2 Marine Technologies T-H Marine and FishO2™, T-H Marine are electrical devices that make oxygen for livewells, bait tanks, bait fish and tournament bass and other tournament fish.
The Oxygenator™ generates oxygen by electrolysis of water.
Livewell oxygen is generated with live electricity inside oxygen-enriched livewells/bait tanks. D/C batteries are required.
SCIENTIFIC FACT: 3rd party scientific test and evaluation by TP&WD, Inland Fisheries Division, San Antonio, TX Publication by Fishery Biologist Randy Myers Aqua Innovations Oxygenator 2-14-2012 (distributed by T-H Marine} http://www.slideshare.net/raminlandfish/the-oxygenator-how-effective-is-it
FishO2 PSA oxygen generators filter oxygen out of the air A new generator can produce up to 90% oxygen. Oxygen % decreases with use.
Oxygen-Enrichment and Oxygen-Rich – OXYGEN FIRE SAFETY RULES APPLY
OXYGEN-RICH (24% oxygen or greater) accumulates in the gas space between the water surface and livewell lid. Oxygen fire safety rules apply. 24% Oxygen Concentration or Greater are Oxygen-Enrichment or Oxygen-Rich environments.
Oxygen Mixture Classifications
The CGA defines oxygen-enriched mixtures or atmospheres as any mixture of atmosphere containing 24% oxygen or greater. Fire ignition reactivity precautions and handling rules for oxygen-enriched environments 24% – 100% oxygen apply.
CAUTION: Oxygen-enriched gas mixtures must be handled with all the fire safety precautions as pure 100% oxygen environments. The chemistry and fire hazard of oxygen are very different than air environments.
Learn, know and practice all oxygen fire safety rules in oxygen-rich environments (livewells /bait tanks)… Oxygen is not Air.
