Electric motor box for water pump in Cork.

Hi,I possibly need a single phase motor control box for a domestic waterpump, could any of you recommend places in Cork that might stock one,if not is there somewhere online that does them?.
Thanks

Photos of what I'm looking for attached.

Is it supplying a submersible well pump or a pump within the house? What is the pump doing when it's switched on or not doing? Those boxes usually have only 2 items that could need attention. The capacitor which can fail can cause MCB to trip or else a thermal overload usually trips. The overload could have a small button protruding out from the box. The little button usually pops out if it heats due to a motor problem. Pushing it back in resets it and the pump will start if all is ok. What part of the county are you.? A few pump crowds north of the city.

I've an apartment,the water tank is in a closet n the hallway ,the water pump and motor box are mounted on top of the tank.the pump isn't kicking in when you turn on the taps or flush the toilet.The green light is on on the pump, but the orange switch on the motor box is usually lit up,its not now leading me to believe it's the motor box is the problem. I've tried the rest button but no joy.A buddie of mine is taking a look at it tonight. I'm just trying to source the parts if needed.A quick online search-Murphy pump services in Whitechurch seem to deal in this kind of stuff,im based on the south side of city.I'll see what my buddie says tonight,here are a few photos of the system.

Considering it's for domestic installation you could try o connells heat merchants in turners cross, irish international trading tramore rd, or chadwicks off the south ring.
