I can't see why you'd run into any problems, Colin. Just choose your extraction pump according to the following guidelines:

Incidentally, Colin, if you haven't already, why not have the water from the well tested to ascertain whether or not it is fit for human consumption. Oftentimes these wells can supply the healthiest water on the planet; given the ubiquity of all modern day contaminants.

I use water from our well in preference to the rainwater recovery. TDS is around the high forties and the water has been recently tested by an official agency and declared safe to drink despite being very high in iron. Used it for most of this year and no problems to report.

You never know, that TDS might WELL  ;D drop when fresh water starts replacing the existing water?
