ABSTRACT:
A water delivery system for delivering water of optimum ph, oxygen content and/or temperature from a water body into a holding tank or live well for containing fish or other marine life, which system includes a water pick-up cone attached to a hose which is carried by a reel, wherein the pick-up cone is lowered to an ideal water depth or stratum and water is pumped to the holding tank or live well. In a first preferred embodiment of the invention, a submersible pump is provided in the pick-up cone for pumping the water into the holding tank or live well and in a second preferred embodiment, a pump is located at the dry end of the water transfer hose to achieve the pumping function. A method for delivering water of optimum ph, oxygen content and/or temperature from a comfort zone or stratum in a water body to a holding tank or to one or more live wells in a boat, which method includes the steps of lowering a water pick-up cone to the estimated comfort zone or stratum for fish at a desired depth; monitoring the ph, oxygen content and/or temperature of the water at this depth; pumping water from this stratum into the holding tank or live well(s); and monitoring the ph, oxygen content and/or temperature of the water in the holding tank or live well(s) to maintain a water condition in the holding tank or live well(s) which closely approximates the water condition at the selected stratum depth in the water body from which the water is pumped.
