Help I am in need of your help

[Deebs]

For the love of God I have spent hours looking for something so simple yet cannot find it. Therefore I am asking for your help before I start up the chainsaw and destroy stuff.

I have a shallow large container that catches a water leak (cannot fix in these conditions) and I want a small external water pump (240v) which I can use to extract the water. Simple. Is it fuck.

I do not want a submersible pump it has to be external.
I want to attach an inlet and outlet pipe to the pump.
It only has to extract around 3/4 litres of water per day (and not everyday obviously).
It will not run continously.
I want it to be as small as possible for the task at hand, ie. I am not draining an Olympic sized swimming pool in an hour.
It does not need any special dry run detection.

Please someone come up with a product I can easily buy quickly, no, I don't want it shipped from China for delivery in June 2029.

Ideally an electric version of this:

Or if not and I bought the above, a suitable motor to use instead of a drill to power it?

I've seen those but I need it to be surface/external due to lack of headroom space, hence inlet and outlet pipes.

Is that a sex toy for a woman?

If I dump that in my hot tub and switch it on that'll stir the fekker to shit, right? Looks a bit overkill, like. Would like something half the price

Have you thought about just exhaling?

Would a fishtank pump do it?

Edit, doubt it would like being run dry.

Links seem borked for me still.

Wouldn't it work to just put a container with a tap on the bottom on a raised surface of some kind and just attach a hose led to a water outlet and just let the gravity do its thing? As long as the outlet is lower than the bottom of the container you should be fine.

Any of the above (the bilge pump seems good) but attach a Shelly relay to it with a water depth sensor (also Shelley) and you can then automate the lot from your phone.

While this doesn't meet your 240V requirement, I had a weirdly similar problem (for my GCSE electronic project 25 years ago) that I solved with the use of a windscreen washer pump. They are as little a tenner and you can walk into halfords and buy one or order of amazon.
