Using other sources for pool equipment

I was looking at the rainbird control boxes at lowes the other day. I don't see why they wouldn't work, and at $15 for the cheapest I'm going to try it. If it dosen't work I'll take it back. First though, I got to find this suction side leak. I have a hole in my backyard 5x4. I'm getting ready to make a huge mess and just replace it. I can't find the exact point of the leak.

I regularly get Schedule 40 PVC fittings and ball valves at Home Depot.
