Kevin,
This pump looks like it has more features than really needed with the automatic feature. This one does seem to be a diaphragm pump type which can self-prime and suck air (run dry). I’d consider just a basic pump with a manual switch. We have a switch in the shower and turn the pump on when using the shower. Less stuff to go wrong.

The pump died on me last year and I'm trying to find a replacement system that makes sense. I'm intrigued by the Whale Gulper IC system but I don't know if I can put the sensor or even a drain into the bottom pan. Currently it has a bronze round strainer that sucks the water up through a hose that lies on the bottom of the pan and through the base of the sink cabinet. I don't recall seeing a check valve to prevent water from going back into the pan either. This is the system I was looking at. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|51|2234226|2234234 <http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|51|2234226|2234234&id=1612525> &id=1612525 What have you all done for sump solutions? Does anyone know what kind of clearance there is between the base of the pan and the hull? Could something like the IC drain system work in that area?
