How does the V-T2 remove harmful gases like CO2 from my livewell?
A supersaturated gas has a natural tendency when exposed to the interface between air and water to escape out of the water into the surrounding air. Aeration and turbulence in your livewell bring molecules containing supersaturated gases to the surface, where they can escape into the atmosphere. The V-T2 then carries these supersaturated gases out of the livewell by directing fresh air in and out of the livewell. NOTE: As cooler water has the potential to hold more dissolved oxygen, cooler water also has the potential to hold more CO2 (carbon dixoide). High carbon dioxide concentrations are harmful to fish as their blood becomes less efficent in getting rid of the carbon dioxide across their gills. This means that some of the CO2 stays in the blood, taking up a space where an oxygen molecule would otherwise have occupied. Supersaturation of CO2 can create a 50% drop in the fishes carrying capacity for oxygen. CO2 in your livewell can be controlled by the V-T2’s combination of aeration
