Abstract:
A hand carriable and structurally and functionally independent live well, comprising, in combination:a) a closeable receptacle which holds water, with the receptacle being structurally independent such that the receptacle may be hand carried, with the receptacle including a handle for carrying the receptacle;b) a conduit and pump arrangement which pumps water into and out of the receptacle, with the conduit and pump arrangement having a conduit portion engaged to the receptacle and with the conduit and pump arrangement further comprising a pump;c) an electrical power source electrically engaged to the pump such that the well is functionally independent; andd) a cutoff apparatus which automatically controls the level of water in the receptacle, with at least a portion of the cutoff apparatus mounted on an inside portion of the receptacle such that, when the level of water reaches a preselected level in the receptacle, the cutoff apparatus automatically communicates with the pump to cut off the supply of water flowing into the receptacle provided by the pump.
