   The problem is knowing whether the pump has actually worked unless you   
   are around and hear it. I came up with a simple solution to that.   
   A Lego brick tied to the outlet snorkel pipe with a bitofcord and the   
   Lego flicked down into the snorkel tube. Any pump activity would soon   
   chuck out the Lego
