Frequently Asked Questions

Approximately 50%.

We average 0.30 liters per minute.

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.

FishLung will typically raise the PPM in your livewell by 6 to 10 PPM over a 2-hour period, depending on water temperature.

Yes, FishLung is designed to work alongside your existing livewell system. However, FishLung can provide enough oxygen on its own to keep a full livewell of bass healthy all day, even if your livewell pumps fail.

No. Oxygen is key to life for fish. Cooling the water only slows the fish's metabolism and the oxygen molecules in the water, but it doesn't add oxygen. Too much temperature difference between your livewell water and the lake water can harm your fish when you release them. Keeping the temperature similar and providing plenty of oxygen is best.

It's not required, but it's also not discouraged. It's a personal choice.

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.

Yes

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.

One Year

Fill your livewell after launching your boat and turn on your FishLung immediately. This ensures your catch will have elevated oxygen levels as soon as they enter the livewell.

If you fish a one-day tournament every weekend, change the canisters every 6 months.

Change the moisture filter at the same time as the canisters.

Like anything that requires routine maintenance, if you ignore it, the performance will suffer. It will still work, just not as well as it should.

Three hours max, even if you need to move batteries to make room.

Yes, everything except the stone mounting post (which is glued in) can be removed and placed in another boat. In this case, contact us and we will send you another post.

Yes, but not during a typical tournament day.

FishLung measures 67 dB at 12 inches, which is similar to the noise level of your standard livewell pumps running and splashing at the same distance.

Elevated PPM from FishLung is different from a typical livewell. Livewells stir water and spray it on the surface, creating large bubbles that surface quickly and break, offering little value to the fish. Elevated PPM by FishLung, if untouched, will last for days. This “staying power” creates a stable, oxygen-rich environment for your catch. Obviously, the more fish you place in the livewell, the higher the demand on the water. This is why we recommend starting oxygenation first thing in the morning.

When everything is hooked up and powered properly, open all 5 valves and power the system up. You will see a slow flow of small bubbles from the diffuser stone, indicating the system is working correctly. Don’t be alarmed by a low/slow flow; we are not a bubbler system, but an oxygen system, and this is normal.

Yes. Every few months, put enough water in your livewell to cover the stones, turn FishLung on, and clean the stones by wiping them in a circular motion with your fingers. This will remove any slime and debris.
