I use a Little Giant condensate return pump. It is designed to collect condensed moisture from air conditioners and condensing furnaces and pump it up to a drain. I bought the pump decades ago on eBay. I just have the bare pump unit, in my own sump, not the complete boxed-up system with float switch and etc. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/LITTLE-GIANT-CP1-115-Pump-Coolant-Plastic-/381014562435?pt=BI_Pumps&hash=item58b63cd683 for something that looks a bit like the one I use.
The motor just sits above the fluid and is driven by a vertical shaft. This has no seals and is not hermetically sealed, so really easy to clean the pump section.
