Default RO pump Help

Hey guys hoping anyone could help with my RO pump the low pressure switch/relay/thingy is broken , i thought it was just a wire thing so i striped the wire and re attached it and nothing seems like that whole piece is just broke or not attached properly anymore.
Now i finally realized that aquasafeCanada isn't ignoring me they are closed so I'm not sure where to go from here, is that a part i could just get ordered from somewhere? or would an electrician be able to fix it? or have a replacement ?

Any ideas would be awesome , its not super urgent cause i make a ton of water without the pump but would be nice to have it working if i wanted it too



i cleaned up the wiring and still nothing ( this is pre stripping and stuff


here is a pic of the high pressure one

Looks fairly simple & has 4 screws keeping it together. Could try opening it up to check the switch internals. As far as the wiring, without a diagram it's tough to advise if another component in the system might be the problem. With diagram an electrician can easily determine if the switch is the culprit. Multimeter can be used to check it also.If it has a part # on it, I' m sure it can be sourced elsewhere besides aquasafe.

Alternatively, why not bypass the entire auto on/off mess. Adds complexity where it's not really needed? Keep it simple, if you want boost pump to run, just plug it in?

Yea thats maybe what i was thinking , issue is i have a 5g drinking water container into the system too so, also it seems that it needs those to run the pump but i never tried to run it without them maybe thats next

You need the switch if you have a small pressure tank.
