Triac for dosing Pump?

My litermeter dosing pump was stuck in the on position yesterday.Apex indicated outlet was off.I'm figuring its because pump was plugged into a triac and not a relay outlet.
Both mechanical relays are being used by low current devices(Co2 solenoid and aqualifter).
Costly option1 buy another eb4 or eb8.
Option 2-share something(what) with the dosing pump to get amperage up to have triac kill power.seems like a waste of energy.
I also have other low current devices(led indicators) I would like Apex to control in future.
I 'm trying to figure out if I have any other options here.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
 
Option 2 seems the easiest. I have read that using a plug-in GFCI device was sufficient to boost the current draw, but have not tried it myself.
