Capps told me last year, “there really ain’t nothing to managing your livewell water quality even in the hot Dog Days of Summer… if you know how to do that and you also have the right livewell equipment: Capps is an expert at this and knows all about keeping crappie and live bait alive.
But, if you don’t know how to manage your livewell water quality and you don’t have the right livewell equipment, you are going to have problems every summer and you will worry about keeping your catch and bait alive and healthy all day every summer. Managing water quality is always your responsibility, all day long.
Pure 100% welding oxygen, maintain 100% DO Saturation continuously
Change thelivewell water a couple times daily, run livewell in closed system
Add non-iodizes,non-caking cattle feed salt to support the work of osmoregulation.
And that’s about all there is to insuring optimum safe livewell water quality all day/all night.

I did, I found plenty good information here.
Your livewell must be dependable and fail-safe, it is a real life support system.
