I doubt this pump will fry, its a 1/6 HP industrial pump.

yea I second that, the only problem I can see is running the pump at a slower speed is that most pumps like that have a built in fan that runs directly off the drive shaft. With the pump running slow the fan won't be pushing much air, but that is something that can be worked around pretty easily.
To slow down the pump all you have to do is go to a retailer that sells light fittings/wall switches ect for the home and ask for an "electronic variable speed fan control switch" ,ceiling fans use a similar wattage as that pump, so power handling shouldn't be a problem, just hook it up per the instructions that come with it.
Just don't tell them that you intend to do it your self, since playing with mains wiring is normally illegal unless your a licenced electrican.
