Connecting air pump to pressure switch

Author: Catatia (Non-US)

Just bought our first home, and within days the air pump for the water treatment system we had started to acting up.

We called the plumber and he cut the wires going from the pressure switch to the air pump, admitting he didn't know the system we had and said this will "bypass" the problematic part. Later we find out that the issue was that the power was off for a few days and the Eco-Water Iron filter had to be reset.

Seems easy now that we know. However the plumbers idea of bypassing the system was cutting the wires hooking up the air pump to the pressure switch.
Again, should be an easy fix, if only I know what exactly he cut from where.

Hoping that someone here has a quick fix to this. Image of the inside of the pressure switch below for reference. Seems like he cut the positive, negative and grounding wires for the air pump.
