Buy pump w/o motor?

[SteveTN]

I have a cracked volute on my Polaris 280 booster pump. A new one is ~$100. A new pump is $350-400 with a motor. The thing is, I already have a spare motor but I can't find a new pump without a motor. Is it possible to buy just the pump?

BTW, I have replaced a shift seal and other parts before. I am aware of what it takes to swap motors.

Update: my current pump is a Waterway Universal Booster Pump. Model 3810430-1PDA.

Is it possible to buy just the pump?

I'm seeing new volutes for around $50-$70, but not the entire pump assembly itself.

Let's see if anyone else has better resources. Everything I'm looking at shows the pump parts sold separately. By the time you piece one together it will probably cost more than an entire assembly.

Polaris PB4SQ Booster Pump leaking from body

Has anyone seen leaking from a 1 yr old Polaris PB4SQ main body? It is literally coming out of the main body, not a seam or joint. I am not sure if there is a rebuild kit or washers. Any recommendations or is 1 year the average life of Polaris Booster products? Any suggestions on a better...

Why not just replace the volute and O ring?

I'm trying to find the best way to go. If I could get a new pump for, say, twice the price of the volute I might get it and keep the old pump for parts. I already have two motors so it seems a waste to buy another.
