You won't be able to rewire to single phase. You will need to replace either the motor or the pump assembly. The other option is a phase converter, but it will likely be cheaper to buy a new motor.

Phase converters have come down alot but it would problaly be better to replace the motor.

I've found you should oversize the drive when you are running single phase in and three phase out configuration. For example, if you've got a 3 hp 3 phase motor, you should choose a 5 hp drive.
