I think that you can eliminate the the pump ( but not the cable to it ).
Whilst I would like to help you, I have a few problems in doing so. Some of the tests you could make might not be very safe for anyone of limited experience. I do not want to in any way encourage anyone to do things which could be considered dangerous, because of liability issues.
Unfortunately you do not post your email in your profile so I cannot contact you directly. I am not really encouraged to post here by the site Owners and Mods and as someone prepared to try to help people I do not take very kindly to having serious postings which I have made edited or sometimes just deleted without any explanation or contact.
