Possibly the quietest live bait aerator pump on the market today

Reminiscent of Engel’s groundbreaking introduction of the first rotomolded cooler well over a decade ago, the Jupiter, FL-based company is proud to announce the all-new USB rechargeable Bubbler pump that is certain to “change the game” for live bait fisherman everywhere.

Engel designers re-envisioned the live bait aerator pump and have developed an all-new design that represents significant improvements in performance and reliability across a broad spectrum of usage environments.

Forgotten are the bulky D-Cell batteries that die quickly…especially in sub-zero temperatures. Gone are bulky power adapters and glitchy pump motors. Reimagined are the guts of a new tool built to endure all the challenges that today’s anglers bring to bear – long days, corrosive salt water, frigid temperatures, oppressive heat, and lots and lots of moisture. Engel aims to make the dead pump=dead bait equation a memory we will soon forget.

The Engel Bubbler is packed full of new features. Two internal state-of-the-art electromagnetic pumps with rubber bladders to generate the airflow. There are no rotating parts, gears, or cogs… and therefore nearly nothing to seize or break. All hardware and screws are marine-grade stainless steel. The bubbler features an internal gasket for ultimate protection of the battery and circuit board compartment. The back of the pump has 4 rubber feet to absorb any vibration and is possibly the quietest bubbler on the market. The pump runs on a high-capacity Lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a ~36-hour life. Battery run-time can be further enhanced by utilizing the intermittent feature, allowing for cycles of 10 seconds of airflow and 10 seconds of standby. Easy to charge or run from wall power with an industry-standard USB-C port, protected from the elements by a watertight seal. (USB charger and cable are included!) The pump is variable speed and one of the four settings is sure to be ideal for any bait type/situation, The large rear clip fits most bait buckets and lives bait coolers on the market, not just the immensely popular Engel models. To complete the bundle, we have included a 42” silicone hose with a large, weighted cylinder-shaped aerator stone.

Thoughtful, rugged design validated by extensive testing in the harshest of conditions. The new Engel Bubbler has raised the bar.

This is how we are now the only portable live bait aerator pump on the market with a 2-year warranty.

Reviews

Very nice.

"The aerator is nice and quiet. The battery lasts for days on low and cycling when used with my medium sized bait bucket. I just hope it doesn’t have a rubber diaphragm that wears out and cracks like my old pump. But so far great air pump."

Bruce B. (5/5)

Great, but………

"The rest of my order was terrible, but I have to say this is a very good quality battery aerator. Battery life is very long, and the loss of power detection makes this a great backup for aquarium hobbyist in the event of a power outage. Their management lacks accountability to the highest degree though, so pray they get your order right, otherwise you’ll have your mind blown that some of these people working there even have jobs to begin with"

"Like the cooler the aerator, works fantastic"

don't like the air hose

"don't like the air hose going to the bottom of the pump"

scotty l. (2/5)

Aerator

"I love that it is so quiet and that it is rechargeable. When I plug it in for recharge the green lights do not flash to tell me that it is charging. When I checked to see if it is charged, one middle green light does not light up."

john v. (5/5)

Q&A

I have a 30 quart cooler will either pump work or do you recommend the XL pump I use it for fresh and salt water fishing
Large = 7.5qt, 13qt and 19qt. XLarge = 30qt
Lithium batteries eventually die. Is there a replacement battery available, or do you have to replace the whole thing?
Your battery should have lasted longer than a few months. What happens when you try to charge it? Please file a warranty claim. I would like to get you a replacement.
The pump does not turn on and no lights come on when I plug it in. Is it charging?
When charging your air pump - the lights should light up. You can also run the pump and charge it at the same time.
HOW LONG WILL THIS PUMP WORK AND STAND UP IN COLD TEMP. FOR ICE FISHING?
2023 Ice fishing season will be our first season with our new rechargeable pump. You should have no problems. If you do, please contact us. The new rechargeable air pump comes with a 2-year warranty. Happy Fishing! Engel
Is this unit waterproof or at least water resistant? I had a lesser lithium aerator from another vendor that did not move air very well. That particular unit got wet (nothing major at all) and no longer works so I wanted to ensure this one had some level of protection before purchasing.
Water-resistant and saltwater approved. Splash -proof. Rust and subsequent damage/failure inside the pump due to being submerged in water is NOT covered under warranty.
Are replacements for the lithium batteries readily available
The replacement batteries will be available later this year.
Will any standard USB-C cord work or do you have to use the one that came with the unit?
It is standard.
Hi I bought one of your rechargeable bubblers and the tube is too short. Someplace I saw that you would provide a longer tube on request. I would like one if that is still possible.
Your new 42" hose will ship today!
Do you have replacement rubber feet for thr pumps? I have had my pump for a few weeks now and the feet have come off.
Hi Zach, Sorry you are having trouble. I found your order. I will mail you new feet tomorrow for your air pump. Thank you, Linda
How do you know when fully charged? How long can you leave it on the charger
The first 4 lights on the pump will stay fully lit when fully charged. This usually takes 3-4 hours. Leaving the pump plugged in for extended periods of time will not hurt it. Treat your pump as you would your cell phone when charging.
