The controller that got popped was a  more recent style of controller that uses a normal pressure switch. I replaced it with their old spare controller, which uses a pressure switch that closes when the pressure goes high. Luckily they still had that switch.

I know that Dankoff got bought out by a bigger company (Conergy?). Is there a controller for the old ETAPump being sold under another name? Is there a compatible controller from another company? It seemed to be one of those units like the Lorentz that turns 24/48 VDC into some kind of 3-phase power. It also has a pressure switch input and a low water input.
