Sparkel carbonated water repair workaround

My Sparkel carbonated water machine was acting wonky and not letting me start its operation on any setting. After taking it apart to try to troubleshoot any bad switches or whatever I decided the circuit board was bad. Rather than throwing it out, I realized that you can just power the pump with 12 volts by plugging and unplugging it manually to control it's operation, so it's still works and cranks out carbonated water. Hope this helps if you have the same situation and want to keep using it as is. God bless.
