We had a well for 38 years, went through three 4 HP down-hole pumps, and
I never observed any RFI from it or the control/capacitor box at the
well head. The 240 V service to the entrance was buried. The pump ran
a lot when the irrigation system was on [making Pacific Gas & Electric
very happy [:-( ]. Our neighbor's A/C, about 200 ft from my tower was
something else again.

Frankly, I've never checked to see if the down-hole pump is an RFI
source... Only use the well when I am outside for the most part...
That's why I solicited Jim's opinion of the case.
I'll have to run a purposely test.
I would think I could filter at/near where the AC lines go in/out of the
hole (outside, and put in a metal enclosure?) And when I finally finish
the pump control/distribution manifold in the back yard, the AC lines
will be over-sized, twisted pair, and in grounded conduit.
Will do whatever is required to keep things quiet. My quiet zone is
slowly growing. :)
