Does your water bay look like this?
If so, the fresh water valve (marked in the photo but just to be clear) is the black-bodied thing with the cross handle on top and a solenoid valve on it.
The cross handle is the manual shut off in case there's a problem with the solenoid valve seat leaking through.
It *was* a common irrigation valve with a 12Vdc solenoid. Hard to find as an assembled item now that most irrigation has gone to 24Vdc.

Jim,
You have the Parker pilot style valve. Here is a link to a thread that has some info that you may want to look at before you take tha valve apart to clean it. Water Fill Valve Issues (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=32695.msg293916#msg293916)
If the coil is bad any 12VDC coil will work as long as the bore is correct.
