I'm wondering.... how exactly do they work?

Looking at my tank it has one drain hole that gets plugged & then there's the pump that pumps into it..

From what I understand the pump, pumps water from the lake into the tank.
But how does it know when the tank is full & when to just pump air & not water?

I've not looked to closely to my live well ( I must admit ).
But..... I understand it fills it with water to a point...? Right?
Or do I shut it off once its full?
& if so how does it pump air into the tank then?

Remember I know nothing about boats being I just bought my very 1st boat that became an unexpected project boat... :confused:
