the water jets on my aerator wont shut off... ive replaced the float valve and pressure switch, but no luck. is it my solenoid valve? are there any instructions on replacing them? can i get a valve from lowes or HD. i have a pressure tank and switch before this aerator, and a pressure tank after this aerator. pipe on right is water going into tank, pipe on left is water going to pressure tank, then house.

thanks!
im attaching a pic of what i think a solenoid is, based on my research, am i correct?

The pressure switch won’t turn off your pump until the solenoid valve closes and stops letting water go to the aerators. So either your solenoid valve is bad or the float switch is not giving the solenoid the signal it needs.

I"m pretty sure its the solenoid as i did put a brand new float switch on... can you get a solenoid valve from home depot or lowes? it looks like its built into the pvc tubing so not sure how to replace it...
