How about using an AMMETER ?

For a simple indicator, they take up too much panel space.

put a light bulb, of low wattage and appropriate voltage across the
contacts. Bulb lights when pump is off. Or put a relay coil (NC) in
place of the bulb and use to light bulb when contacts close. A small
current would flow through the pump all the time but it shouldn't do
anything.
