D/H Low Pressure Pump Controller

I have a D/H, low pressure pump controller on my presoak tank. I have replaced all other components on this tank. Power is not getting to the product side. Well actually nether side. Where can I either purchase another controller or have this one repaired. What would be suggested.

That controller is most likely for the 120V solenoid valve to shut off air to the pump. If so, you can bypass that controller and run the system with constant pressure to the solenoid valve bank. You would be risking a liquid side solenoid valve sticking open and dumping chemical into the bay. If you have a fine mesh strainer in the tank for the pump pick up, you should be fine. You could replace the controller with an MX10 to control the existing 120V air shut off valve. You could also replace the 120V valve with a 24VAC valve to eliminate the need for 120V.

Thank you I will look onto the MX10. I have a transformer that steps it down to a 24V solenoid.
 
Over the years I’d installed several of the MX-10 Multiplexers. When you install the MX-10 you want to make sure you jumper all the commons together and run one wire to terminal #1. Whatever voltage power you connect to terminal #3 will be the same that comes out of terminal #4. When rewire your solenoid panel use a different color wire for each bay, it helps identify each different Bay. I always mount the MX-10 in a AC disconnect can that I take the guts out of, this helps protect the MX-10, I do the same thing when I install a relay bank.
