hi... so I have this aversion to leaving my sump pump in the pool sitting on the plaster. I think it might rust or stain or something. Is this nuts? should I just leave it in under the cover, with the hose and power plug sticking out?
Is this just in my head? sump pump staining plaster?

You are correct. Sump pumps can rust and leave rust stains on the plaster.
I would not leave a sump pump sitting on the plaster when not in use.
Maybe you can put the pump on a plastic bucket so the pump is not sitting on the palster.
I just drop my pump in on the edge of my cover when I need to drain water and then remove it. I also don't want the pump and hose to get buried in snow and freeze, if we ever get any this season.
