How about adding an accessable switch?
Normally OK to leave it on but there are several reasons why the pump could run dry, probably not the best scenario. And if it does the pump may well draw more amps than the TV charge line can supply which is also not desirable.
This is probably a better option.
Normally, it won't be an issue but if you have a faucet jiggle on or develop a leak, it will start pumping water. Particularly for a leak, this could dump 30-40gal onto the floor.
In theory, the pump can run dry but after hours, it's a lot of stress on the rubber diaphragm, so it may wind up with a short life if it winds up running dry for a long time.
