What I mean by one way relay is manually reset it to run again. What I need it for:

I want a pump to run when a relay is on(manually turned on), when there is no power the relay trips and stays like that in off position. Because even if the power comes back on I don't want the pump on. Until I reset the relay.

I keep saying a relay, but it doesn't have to be. Anything that could handle 240V. Is there anything I could use for this?

This is a very common requirement for machine controls. You can buy switches with this function built-in - Look on Amazon for "motor safety switch".

A typical DIY circuit is:
