Aqua O2 Cartridge Aerator Pump Sets a New Bar for Livewell Systems
New aerator pump gives boaters true, 360-degree mounting freedom for simple, clean installs
Johnson Pump Marine, part of SPX FLOW, has launched the Aqua O2 Cartridge Aerator Pump, a fresh take on livewell performance built around adaptability. At its core is a mount-anywhere design that rotates a full 360 degrees, so the pump can meet the changing realities of boat layouts, tight compartments, and gear that moves with the season.
A highlight is its quick-change motor connection—an industry first. With it, boaters can swap a motor or step up capacity in minutes, keeping maintenance short and time on the water long. Fewer tools, fewer headaches, and fewer delays at the dock.
What Stands Out About the Aqua O2
The Aqua O2 Cartridge Aerator Pump blends practical installation details with performance you can feel on the water. Key points include:
- Flexibility: A true mount-at-any-angle setup gives you freedom to place the pump where it fits best, not just where it fits at all.
- Versatility: Straight and 90-degree angled inlet options let you tailor the installation. The pump can be mounted directly on seacocks to suit specific vessel layouts and plumbing runs.
- Efficiency: A high-flow impeller paired with an upgraded motor helps move water effectively while keeping energy use in check.
- Reliability: Built for the marine world, the Aqua O2’s durable construction is made to handle spray, vibration, and long days running.
Designed Around Boaters and Anglers
Michael Stralman, General Manager at Johnson Pump Marine, notes that the Aqua O2 was developed with the everyday needs of anglers and boaters front and center. Its flexible installation makes it easy to fit into a variety of setups and to adjust as those setups change. The result is time saved on installation and upkeep—and more time spent fishing, cruising, or simply enjoying the day.
