Doug, if I don't use the momentary switches in the bath and outside shower, would the off/on switch on the seeLevel panel work as the only switch, as I have never used the other two.
The way those multi-switch momentary systems work is when a voltage "pulse" comes from any of the switches, it changes states from OFF to ON or ON to OFF. Using a normal switch is like holding one of the existing buttons down indefinitely.
So while you could use the switch as-is, 'ON' won't mean ON. You'll have to click it on, then off to turn the pump on and do it again to turn it off. Just replace the switch using one from Digikey (select SPST and 'OFF-Mom' and pin size in the filter choices then find one that matches the dimensions of the existing one). Any should be sufficient for the minuscule amount of current.
