What happens when you use livewell additives with oxygenators? Dispelling the myths...

 

 

I'm a little confused.  Should we use Hydrogen Peroxide and an additive?  Or is it one or the other but not both?

You can use both together, no problem.  You don't have to use hydrogen peroxide if you have an oxygenator, but it's an effective low-cost solution if you don't.

As a non tournament fisherman, I wish my livewell dispensed ice instead of water! Cool video 

That would be awesome!

When Tony is talking about hydrogen peroxide it's tthe 3% over the counter product.

I have used 1/2 cup or 4 oz per 15 gallons of water for decades during night tournaments because the dissolved oxygen levels in the water tend to drop at night and I don't have a Oxygenator.

Having a pint bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the boat is good insurance when you need it. 

Regarding oxygenators with livewell additives may have started with a article that stated salt in livewell additives can corrode the units. I recall the article was in Bassmaster mag just after the Oxygenator was introduced?

PS is Tony's wife Lane OK?

 

 

I don't know. They're no longer together, and she is no longer part of the business.
