How can I use a filter with an AC motor on a live well?

hello, I have an internal filter and it is rated for 110-120v AC ~ 60 Hz 12.5 W. I want to be able to use this filter for a live well which is portable. What would be the best way to power the filter with no access to a ac source?

Answer:

The *best* way? Not sure. One way is to get a solar panel, a battery, a charging circuit and an invertor. Another way is to buy a gasoline-powered generator. Another way is to build a wind mill with a generator. There are others. Best is going to depend on what *you* consider most important in your power system.
How about an inverter and a car battery or a portable generator.
Why would you use the filter if you don't have any AC power?
