Living with well water for 22 years I experienced no problems, mechanical or otherwise! Well 300 feet, pump smerged at 80 feet, bladder water pressure tank was 81 gallons.
The difference I see with the places I've stayed on the BI is the size of the pressure tanks. Smaller tanks recycle more frequently, which is more wear and tear, more noise, and not much reserve if the electricity goes out. Also the bladder on larger tanks keeps up the PSI, so I believe if it is sized correctly less electricity is necessary for the same amount of water used. This isn't scientific, just my experience.
