As a retired plumbing contractor, if you are doing it for a cost savings, forget it. If you are doing it for convenience, go for it.
Make sure you use a bronze pump which is for potable water and not a cast iron pump which is for heating systems. Except for a very few and very large residences, I have rarely seen it to be enough of an advantage, including in my own home.
