Pump motors pull more than a computer but not so much that it's going to do anything but cause the UPS not to hold on as long during a power outage. I've never pressed mine....meaning the power has never been off long enough to find out how long the UPS will continue to run the pump. As for where to buy, try a local computer store.
what brand of UPS do you have?ive had mine over a year now and i think its great. mine keeps my 2x sump pumps pumping for ages(over 2 hrs). just need a small generater for when the ups runs out.

As a technical guy, I can tell you with experience (lots and lots of data center and desktop experience) on what models of UPS' you should consider:
APC - I have one of these running under the desk at an asphalt plant. Dust, steam and oil are all over the place and the batteries haven't died yet.
Tripp-Lite - I've had mixed success with these things, although the batteries tend to die easily.
HP (remanned tripp-lites and apcs ) you never know what you're getting....
Dell - Total chinese crap usually. I'd avoid them like the plague.
