A/C condensate pump

Looking to replace the sump pump for my A/C in the main salon. It's the small EDC (green pump). Has anyone found the good (inexpensive) source and/or a replacement (different brand). I definitely want to use a pump as I have a dry bilge and don't want the condensate to go there.

Also I have quire a bit of discoloration/rust in the bottom of the pan. Thinking of just flooding the bottom of the pan with a rust inhibitor. Has anyone tried a different approach.

Here is an alternative

Not aware of a source except my local Beneteau dealer. I've replaced both of mine. Next time I'll try an alternative I saw online.

The alternative consist of a plastic tub like the type that line the selves of Target, that will fit down in the bilge. This would be used to collect the condensate. Install a small Rule type auto bilge pump in the tub to evacuate it. This set up would use the existing EDC electrical supply to supply the Rule pump. The existing discharge overboard hose would be connected to the Rule pump.

Seems simple eh? I haven;t tried it so I have no knowledge of if it will wok. Good luck.
