The chamber in my sump that my pump sits in is about 1/2 gallon,which my display can handle,you could make it even smaller if you use an auto top off. Worse case scenario I burn out a pump but I believe it has a thermal overload anyway.

And my sump holds enough capacity to take the water level down to the overflow just incase the pump does burn out and the flow starts again or the power goes out. 100%fool proof. You could even get a float valve for your pump so when sump water level drops the pump shuts off
