Quite an interesting thought George!
I must be missing something, if I had two or more relays in parallel I would expect the failure of one, that would be welded contacts, to keep the pump going all the time.
Two or more in series would do the trick, until they all screwed up.
Or have I got my series/parallel circuits mixed up? I know little about sparky stuff.
