Fish and invertebrates held in a bucket quickly use up the oxygen in the water, especially on a warm day or when several animals share one container. A bucket aerator pumps air through a hose into the water, where the rising bubbles replace lost oxygen and keep the catch in good condition while it is sorted, measured and returned. It is equally useful for carrying live samples back to the lab for a classroom aquarium.
The long air hose lets the pump sit on the bank or in the vehicle while the hose runs to the bucket. Keep the pump dry and above the water level, shade the bucket, and avoid overcrowding it. After use in salt water, flush the hose with fresh water and let it dry. Pair it with a dissolved oxygen meter if students want to measure the effect of aeration directly.

Schools, colleges, fisheries courses, research groups and distributors can source it with nets, traps and measuring boards on one quotation, with delivery within India and to international markets.

What size bucket does the Bucket Aerator work with?
The Bucket Aerator can work in a 5-gallon bucket, a practical size for holding a morning's catch of small fish during fieldwork. Use a bucket with a lid or cover for transport, leaving a gap for the air hose.
Can the Bucket Aerator be used in salt water?
Yes. The Bucket Aerator is listed for both fresh and salt water. After salt-water use, flush the air hose through with fresh water and let everything dry, so salt does not build up in the line.
How long is the air hose on the Bucket Aerator?
The Bucket Aerator comes with a 24 ft air hose. The long hose lets the quiet diaphragm pump stay on dry ground or in a vehicle while the air is delivered to the bucket.
How is the Bucket Aerator powered?
The listing for the Bucket Aerator does not state its power source. Please ask through our contact page, and we will confirm the power requirements with the quotation so you can plan for fieldwork away from mains supply.
Is the Bucket Aerator noisy?
The Bucket Aerator uses a quiet diaphragm pump, which suits use in a classroom or near other groups during fieldwork. Stand the pump on a firm, dry surface to keep vibration and noise to a minimum.
Who supplies the Bucket Aerator?
