I'm struggling to find one with the right connector

May need a power adapter for the wall, but I think this would work. If you can get it over there. I found others before too, I’d have to look a little more .

I appreciate the help.
Unfortunately buying from this website would cost me over $100 because of shipping.
I did find one on the mistking.eu website but stupidly they don't ship to the UK and they never reply when I try to contact them

Post a picture of the plug and the sticker on the power supply. I’ll see if I can search the eu web somehow to find one
Thank you!
The plug isn't really an issue, I can use a travel adapter or something similar that will allow me to use the plug.
The issue I'm having is finding one with the connector that connects to the pump.

Well that connector looks like the standard issue molex connector that every RC car had in the 90's. So it might be easy to find. Or if you are a bit diy(and you are in the EU so its even easier), you can use a set of wago lever nuts.
The only issue i see is the adapter does not explicitly say "24 volt dc" and most ro booster pumps are 24 volt AC. But at the top is says AC/DC adapter...

Ok after a massive amount of googling, all Mistkings run on 24 volt DC. and that connector is the standard rc car hobby tamiya connector.
Sorry for the delay, I thought I'd give you guys an update but as I was in the middle of moving house, its taken me longer to write one up.
Randomly a week before I moved I thought I would try the mistking again and by some miracle the pump was now producing enough power for the water to get to the nozzles.
The issue I had next was now, instead of misting, the water would just dribble out of the sides of the nozzle. After taking them apart and cleaning them I tried again, this time it looked as though that there was so much pressure built up behind the misting heads that they would explode and even more water would fall from the sides/ joining parts of the nozzles instead of the misting heads.
So I went ahead and purchased more nozzles and everything is working as normal again.
Odd how at one stage there was not enough power or pressure to get the water up to the nozzles then one day it suddenly starts working again.
