Sump pump help

[dunginhawk]

Good afternoon folks...

So my water table is very high. I need a sump pit at the end of my pool that fills up regularly.
I have used the pumps that have the attached floating piece.
Well my sump pit shaft is pretty narrow and that thing routinely gets caught up in the wiring, etc and doesnt always work right, until I go pull up on the hose and put it back down.

Im looking for a pump with an internal float that fits in my tube correctly.
My sump pit is 8" across... So id like (and need) something smaller.
Any good options you guys use?
thanks

I bought it... had it shipped.. unfortunately the float hangs over a good 1" ... Seems crooked to market this to fit in a 7" hole, but it would realistically barely fit in an 8" one
