T-H Marine Pro-Air Dual-Outlet Livewell Aeration System PAS-1-DP
T-H Marine Pro-Air Dual-Outlet Livewell Aeration System PAS-1-DP — Product description
The T-H Marine Pro-Air is a complete 12-volt livewell aeration system built to keep bait frisky and a catch alive all day. Dual outlets aerate two livewells at once, a potted waterproof pump handles the wet, and the included air stones push fine oxygen-rich bubbles into wells up to 30 gallons.
The T-H Marine Pro-Air is a complete livewell aeration system for anglers who need to keep bait frisky and a catch alive from the first cast to the weigh-in. It's a self-contained kit. A 12-volt air pump, dual air lines, air stones, and a rubber mounting base, all ready to run the day you get it. If you've been fighting a marginal factory aerator that quits keeping fish healthy by mid-morning, this is the upgrade that fixes it.
Here's how it works. The 12-volt DC pump pushes a steady stream of oxygen-rich air down to the air stones sitting in the bottom of your livewell. Those stones break the air into fine bubbles, and fine bubbles are what actually dissolve oxygen into the water. That's the difference between a well that just looks busy and one that keeps shad, shiners, or a limit of bass breathing easy for hours. The pump is potted and fully waterproof, so spray, rain, and the usual soaking a livewell area takes won't kill it.
The dual outlets are the headline feature. You can run one air line to each of two separate livewells and aerate both at once, which is exactly what you want on a boat with a bait well up front and a fish box in back. Or, if you're running one bigger well, tie both outlets into the same tank for extra oxygen when it's hot and the fish are stressed. The system is rated for livewells up to 30 gallons. That flexibility is why it works across so many boat layouts, from a bass boat with front and rear wells to a center console with a single big bait tank.
Installation is straightforward whether you rig it permanently or keep it portable. The rubber base does two jobs. It gives the pump a non-skid footing, and it soaks up a good bit of the pump's vibration so you're not listening to a buzz rattle through an aluminum jon boat all day. Mount it on a shelf, a bulkhead, or just set it in a dry spot. One thing to get right: this pump is not submersible. Mount it above the waterline so water can't back up the lines into the unit.
Power is simple 12-volt DC. It runs off any 12-volt battery, and for the longest run time we'd point you at a separate deep-cycle battery rather than tapping your cranking battery. That keeps a long day of aeration from ever leaving you with a motor that won't start. Wire it with a 5-amp fuse and keep the runs short and heavy enough to avoid voltage drop, and it'll sip power quietly in the background. On a typical group-size battery you'll get several hours of continuous aeration, plenty for a day on the water.
Who's this for? Tournament anglers hauling a livewell of bass, crappie fishermen who need bait lively past lunch, kayak and jon boat anglers running a portable bait tank, anyone whose factory livewell pump isn't keeping fish healthy. And because the whole thing is battery operated, it travels. Pull it off one boat and drop it in another, or carry it to a shore tank. It's not tied to a single rig. It does the one job, and it does it without drama.
A couple of honest notes on care. The air stones diffuse those fine bubbles by forcing air through tiny pores, and over time those pores load up, especially in brackish or dirty water. A quick soak in white vinegar every few weeks clears them and keeps your bubble flow strong. Stones are a wear item, so it's worth keeping a spare set aboard. Do that, keep the pump above the waterline, and this system will keep your well breathing season after season.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the Pro-Air system?
It's a complete kit: the 12-volt air pump, dual air lines, air stones, and a rubber mounting base. Everything you need to aerate a livewell right out of the box.
How many livewells can it run at once?
Two. The dual outlets let you run one air line to each of two separate wells, so a bait well and a fish box can both stay oxygenated at the same time.
What size livewell does it handle?
It's rated for livewells up to 30 gallons. On a single larger well you can tie both outlets into the same tank for extra aeration when the water's warm and fish are stressed.
Is the pump waterproof?
Yes. The 12-volt pump is potted and fully waterproof, so spray and rain won't hurt it. It is not submersible, though, so mount it above the waterline.
What powers the Pro-Air?
Standard 12-volt DC. It runs off any 12-volt battery, which makes it easy to install permanently or use as a portable unit.
Should I run it off my cranking battery?
We'd point you at a separate deep-cycle or house battery instead. Running aeration all day off your starting battery risks leaving you with a motor that won't crank.
How should I wire and fuse it?
Protect the circuit with a 5-amp fuse and keep the wire runs short and heavy enough to avoid voltage drop. Mount the unit above the waterline so water can't back up the lines.
Do the air stones need maintenance?
They do. The fine pores that make the bubbles slowly load up, especially in brackish or dirty water. A soak in white vinegar every few weeks clears them and keeps flow strong. Stones are a wear item, so keep a spare set aboard.
Does the rubber base really cut noise?
It helps. The rubber footing gives the pump a non-skid grip and soaks up a good bit of the vibration, so you get less of that buzz rattling through a hull all day.
Can I use it in saltwater or brackish bait tanks?
Yes, it works in brackish and salt setups. Just clean the air stones more often in that water, since the pores clog faster, and rinse things down after use.
