Claim 18:
19. A system for keeping a fill pump primed between intermittent operations of the fill pump and for dissolving gasses in water sourced through a water intake assembly by the fill pump from a body of water located below a container, wherein the water intake assembly has a first check valve and an input conduit and water flows through the first check valve and the input conduit into the fill pump, the system comprising:
(a) a pump output assembly having a second check valve and an output conduit, the output conduit carrying water from the fill pump through the second check valve, the pump output assembly creating a pressure differential and turbulence in water flowing out of the fill pump;
(b) a mixing chamber having a water outlet and including at least one member selected from the group consisting of a mixing medium, bubble trap, impingement medium, impingement plate, diverter plate, diverter device, and distributor; and
(c) a gas delivery system, wherein the output conduit or mixing chamber is structured to receive a gas and for turbulent water to flow through the gas in the output conduit or mixing chamber to dissolve the gas in the water;
wherein gas-saturated water is released through the water outlet into the container; and
wherein the first and second check valves keep the fill pump primed after the fill pump ceases pumping.
