For service, cleaning, etc., you will always want to throw the
breaker.  You don't want the pump to start unexpectedly while
you're working on it.

Additional local control functionality could (should?) include
over-ride switches to force the system on/off and to force the
valves open/closed as needed.  The ideal setup would provide On /
Off / Auto positions for the pump and Open / Closed / Auto
positions for automated valves.  3-Position, double pole switches
are readily available for the purpose.  Obviously, you'll either
want weatherproof switches or a weatherproof cover for the switch
plate.
