LIVE WELL LOSING WATER

[BRUCE Sax]

I THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY LIVE WELLS.THEY ONLY FILL UP ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY. TODAY I MANUALLY FILLED THEM UP 3/4 OF THE WAY AND BY WEIGH IN THE FISH WERE BARELY COVERED. ONE WELL WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. I KNOW THEY USE TO STAY FULL. ANY IDEAS WHAT IT COULD BE. I RUN THEM ON AUTO FILL AND MANUAL AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER

THANKS,

BRUCE

have you checked to see if it is leaking back out the pump. fill it up in the drive way and see where its leaking. mine leaked back through the pump intake. I removed pump and cleaned it out and its worked fine ever since.

You have to manually fill them up all the way first. Then put it on auto to aerate.

You might also have the water running back out of the pump. That should be an easy fix. Try seeing if there's any debris caught around where the water comes out when you open your livewell drain.
