Wire in the pump into the chocolate block you see in picture one. If your pump came with a plug on it, you will need a socket and some deep housing for it so you can store the relay and its gubbins.

After sealing it all up
Plug your contraption into the wall
Put your pump in some water!!!!
THEN
Send an R over serial
Now hopefully, your pump activated for 2 seconds and then cut off

You have a controllable chocolate block/power outlet if you used a socket and housing.
