[QUOTE="richg99, post: 456742, member: 4376"] I know next to nothing about livewells...however, I have observed a number of them that have a "standpipe" screwed into the bottom drain. Way back when I had a house with a basement, and basements in that area were known to occasionally flood....nearly every house had a five-foot standpipe near the floor drain. When we thought the rains were threatening, we screwed the standpipe into the drain. When the outside water levels got too high, the water would rise up into the uncapped standpipe, rather than spilling out onto the basement floor. I imagine that the Livewell "standpipes" that I saw did the same... The outside levels and pressures pushed water up the uncapped standpipe, but not out into the well unless you wanted it there. Of course, too high of speed would push water all of the way out, so removing the "standpipe" and plugging the well was done when more speeds was added. [/QUOTE]
