You can put a switch in. It only needs a simple on/off. Just run a hot wire to the switch, then on to the solenoid, done!

then why does it have 2 wires?and which pole do i need to power or does it really matter,the switch on means runnin,off not runnin am i right and i just got my new pump got to wait till thursday night to change it though

The other wire goes back up to a temperature switch that then powers the KSB.
