Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

You can not repair those small submersible pumps. Let me rephrase that...you should not try to rebuild those pumps. Once the oil leaks out and water enters the sealed motor area causing the unit to seize you can not replace the parts you will need for anything close to the cost of just buying a new unit. They are basically throw-away units at the price of new being under $100.

Home Depot for $62.97

Lowe’s 1/3HP ProPlumber

Local hardware stores will have similar products for nearly the same prices.

I have a Flotec 1/2 hp jet pump. Is it posible to get just the pump housing. Mine froze cracked the housing?

Use Google and put in Flotec parts.
I did that and several parts dealers came up.
Pick one and put in your model number.
I'm sure you can find a housing, the pump that I looked at had one available.

I need a motor for flotec shallow well pump unit #FP7100-08.The motor #S48D02AO3.WHERE CAN I FIND ONE AND HOW MUCH.Thank you Greg

Save yourself time and effort, replace the entire unit. I speak as a guy who has lived with a well for more than 35 years.

If you put a new motor on a old pump what do you have? A new $300.00 motor on a $worthless old pump. Spend the $350.00 and replace it.
