Load1 36v down to 12v

So I'm upgrading to a 2.2kw water cooled spindle and was thinking of using the load1 output to turn on and off the water pump.

My controller is currently powered by a 36volt power supply
The water pump is 12volt
My thoughts were to run the load1 output to a step down converter as below

Then from the step down 12 volt to the water pump

Will this work?
Any better solutions?

Thanks
Mick

That should work, but something like this would be cheaper, and it is sealed.

I am using one of these for another application and it seems to work fine.

Doug any recommendations for a relay that I can use for the load 1 output which is 3.3volts?

3.3v trigger 36v from the power supply
or
3.3 trigger 24v after the convertor

Solid state relay?

I have been using the SSR40-DD solid state relays successfully on the 3.3V outputs. Here's a link:
