Six years ago I cleaned the shower sump(s) for the last time. It was up there with my least favorite jobs. I purchased a Whale Gulper pump and took the hose from into the sump and connected it to the Gulper pump and the overboard discharge to the output side of the Gulper eliminating the sump entirely. I wired it to a simple on off switch. One of the best improvements I've made. No more cleaning. It pumps out soap, hair, and maybe even pebbles and it can run dry.

That looks like a great idea. Wonder why boats aren't built this way instead of a sump in the first place.
