Very interesting idea, bcday. Some quick research shows that people are mostly unimpressed with the drill bit pumps of every variety and brand. Harbor Freight sells one for $4 which might be worth trying if it comes to that even despite the reviews (http://www.harborfreight.com/all-pur...ump-34302.html).

Another possibility, which I saw someone mention in the comments for one of these, is a submersible aquarium pump. I would need to find one that can hook up to the necessary hosing/tubing. I could just fill up the sink, drop it in, start pumping, and then keep the sink running.

Thank you for the great ideas! I'll definitely try these out if the plumbing solution doesn't look realistic.
