It is possible to make a motor pump using a pump linked on to a rotating
'wheel' with a connector in on of the rotating holes - but the parts for
this are not in the kit.  In this case one would need a pressure sensor
to switch the motor on and off. We (well my son Ben!) does this with a

we use is linked direct back to a Sinclair QL - but of course could be a
direct motor switch.

Not as much fun perhaps, but a direct switch is fairly common. lu(1)
posted a design a while back which I put up on my web pages... I used
Mike's pump and lu's switch.
