Hot Tub Layz Spa Paris — Electrical question

Options
Hi there, 
I need to replace the plug on my hotub after it became submerged when being put away. However I cannot find a suitable replacement. It was a so called sealed unit albeit let water in! The power unit states 220-240v 50hz IPX5. This was an RCD plus also.
I Cabot find an IPX5 plug anywhere. 

Any ideas of alternatives, apparently the manafactuer does not sell this part!

Thank you in advance

    All that IPX5 means is that the plug "can resist high-pressure, heavy sprays of water.."
    The fact that it was a sealed unit does not mean that it will not allow water inside...

    Even if it got wet can you not dry it out and use it again?
