You could replace the controller with an on/off switch and regulate the flow by using a bypass which returns excess water to the tank.
I would have thought an auto electrician or motorcycle dealer would stock a suitable battery.

... or a mobility shop for the battery.

Using a bypass a 17amp battery doesn't last long.

The problem with the exact replacement is that it is known to be fragile.
