• a cover carried by the basin, the cover overlying the cord conduit;
• and
• wherein the cord has a first cord segment extending from the pump to a first connector and a second cord segment extending from a second connector that releasably connects to the first connector to a step-down transformer and plug disposed outside of the basin;
• wherein the opening of the cord conduit is narrower than the transformer and the plug preventing the transformer and plug from passing through the cord conduit;
• and
• wherein the first cord segment and first connector and the second cord segment and second connector are narrower than the opening of the cord conduit allowing at least one of the first connector and first cord segment and the second connector and second cord segment to pass through the cord conduit.
