I have a aerator spray head on mine and does what i need it to. Put more oxygen in the water and helps the fish.Have not used the system your talking about,but have looked at it.Should work just fine.Anything to move water and create bubbles to increase the oxygen level in the livewell.Also can help to leave the lid on the livewell open to get fresh air in the well and remove ammonia.Whatever system you install, some of the important issues are small bubbles injected into the water will give you more oxygen,timer on the well so the water will change to reduce the ammonia level,and remember that the warmer the water is,the faster the oxygen level will deplete.Any system that will do those things should keep your fish and bait alive.

I have the Aqua Innovations Oxygenator installed in my live well and I am very happy with it. It seems to keep fish alive a lot longer and they are much more lively then just the water spray method that I have used in the past. However it is still necessary to change the water in your live well just as often as you normally would using the fresh water intake to keep the acid level down.

Many of the new boats are coming equipped with this as standard equipment now. A few of the major Bass boat companies have installed them in their live wells in their new line of boats and I heard a few more will be doing so soon.
