FAQ
General FishLung Usage Questions
What is the primary use of FishLung?
The primary use of FishLung is to provide optimal oxygen levels in your livewell, ensuring the health and survival of your catch during tournaments or recreational fishing. FishLung delivers a constant supply of oxygen, reducing stress and keeping them in peak condition. It’s designed to help anglers prevent dead fish penalties and support fish conservation by improving fish survival rates upon release.
What is the O2 purity level?
Approximately 92% (+/- 5%)
What is the flow rate?
We average 0.35 liters per minute.
What is the normal PPM in lake water?
Depending on the time of day, lake water can range from 6 PPM to 9 PPM. Early morning readings are usually lower, while splashing, wave activity, and proximity to vegetation can cause higher readings.
What PPM can we expect with FishLung?
FishLung will typically raise the PPM in your livewell by 6 to 10 PPM over a 2-hour period, depending on water temperature.
Do I still have to use my normal livewell system?
Yes, FishLung is designed to be stand alone system, and will provide enough oxygen on its own to keep a full live well of bass and crappie alive. However we recommend using it in conjunction with livewell pump systems.
Do I still have to use ice?
No. Oxygen is key to life for fish.
Do I still use livewell treatment chemicals?
It's not required, but it's also not discouraged. It's a personal choice.
What do I do if I injure a fish?
If a fish is gill, tongue, or throat hooked and bleeding, you should still care for it as you normally would. While FishLung provides elevated oxygen levels, which helps, it's not a hospital, so treat the injury properly.
Do I still have to fizz a deep-water fish?
Yes
What if a fish dies in the livewell?
When a fish dies in the livewell, it releases waste that unbalances the pH levels, creating an unhealthy environment for the other fish. Remove the dead fish, pump out the water, and replace it with fresh water. If the lake water and livewell water temperatures differ significantly, do this gradually to avoid shocking the remaining fish. Keep your FishLung and livewell pumps running to re-oxygenate the livewell quickly.
How long is the warranty?
One Year
