Johnson Pump Basspirator Aerator Kit

The Johnson Pump Basspirator Livewell Aerating Kit (Part No. 34014) is a complete freshwater circulation system designed for anglers who demand continuous oxygen replenishment in livewells and baitwells during extended outings. This kit combines a 500 GPH centrifugal pump with a purpose-designed aerating head to maintain optimal water conditions for holding live baitfish and tournament-caught bass over multiple hours without fish stress or mortality.

The system operates by drawing fresh water from the main lake or river through the intake, pumping it into the livewell at 500 gallons per hour. As clean water enters, spent water and debris exit through dual 1.5-inch overflow fittings, creating constant circulation without stagnation. The kit includes 7 feet of 3/4-inch reinforced hose, an illuminated fuse switch with 16-gauge wiring (16 feet included), and all necessary clamps for secure installation. The cartridge pump design allows straightforward servicing, and the pre-assembled aerating head ensures proper water distribution across the livewell floor for even oxygenation.

Bass fishermen, tournament competitors, and guides operating in warm-water environments—particularly during summer months or extended day trips—rely on Basspirator systems to keep fish alive and healthy until weigh-in or release. The 500 GPH flow rate is engineered to handle typical 20–40 gallon livewell capacities without excessive turbulence. This kit suits center-console offshore and freshwater tournament boats where livewell reliability directly impacts catch quality and regulatory compliance.
