Correct whale pump socket replacement

[cencerrita]

I need to replace my whale pump smart pressurized water socket with microswitch in it . Confused when looking at spares as mine is as the photo and has a yellow box attached which is the pressure unit (IC controller)? Unsure which part needs replacing although the blue inside back does not seem to stay flush with housing but pops out a bit. Can i just use the existing yellow controller? The spare sockets I find do not seem to have 3 connection pins on the back except ones fitted with a manual pressure switch adjuster on them which i do not need.
Thanks
Alan

The "smart" ones are prone to failure. You may be better off replacing it with a manual one.

Having had a failed Ivan panel and then now water pump I jury rigged a manual switch for the pump off my solar controller (near kitchen sink) which worked great and considered running a cable through to the bathroom as well.
I just wonder how the manual set pressure socket will work if battery power when off grid. Whale claim many problems but I do wonder!

The manual pressure switch works fine of grid, although you may have to adjust it when switching from EHU to battery and then again next time you are on EHU.

If you google ‘whale water pump calibration’ scrolling below the AI response will show images of both IC and Manual adjustment pages from Whale that can be printed.
If you do go manual - I always use EHU and once set for a replacement pump I never need to readjust - but if off grid you may need to adjust when relying on the charge of the battery.
