Dive party at Glens House!
Glen it is not likely that the pump motor is in the water.....Do you have an access portal to the tank? (most likely you do) Then just open it & shine a flashlight in. Hopefully the water is fairly clear & you can see just what is in the tank area, even if it is a totaly submerged unit. If it is submerged, hopefully there is also a lift cable to it (last ditch, the power cord, but I would make sure to cut the power to the unit first) You may also have a pump house adjacent to the tank that is covered...or maybe somewhere in a closet....
One way to trace where the pump is, is to listen for a pump noise when the water is running....follow the noise (how much water running depends on the size of you pressure tank...another place where you may find your filter housing.)
Might also want to check the area where your hot water heater is....Filter housings are usually somewhere accessable.
