Small pump project for bathroom

I deal with constant water outage where I live. This building in downtown Montreal is quite old and there are frequent repairs leading to hours long water disruptions. The building does send out notifications which helps us stock up on buckets and water bottles, even using the bathtub for storage. 

I recently had this idea to use a simple pump setup to run water to the wash basin. I looked for small pumps online but the prices were a little beyond what I was willing to spend for a hobby project. 

I chanced upon a small submersible pump ay a thrift and immediately picked it up. I ran home ordered a silicone pipe and hooked it up immediately when it arrived only to realize the pump is very low powered and can barely lift water 20 cms. Lesson here to pay attention to tech specs.

I was too invested in this project so ordered a pump from amazon. 

I designed a small pivoting holder to be attached to the soap holder. It moves out of the way when  not needed.

hooked up the pipe, dropped the motor in the tub, and used a foot switch to operate the pump. Works very well for those occasional outages. 

The pump runs off of 120v AC and I don't like this. Wiring is a problem and so is the risk of electric shocks. I looked up a GFCI circuit breaker but nope, I've spent enough on this little project already.
