Default No issues with mine

I have a well 500' that services two houses. I get 40 gpm .Haven't done much to it in the 40 years its been installed. We got the next size pump to make it work easier. Every spring I put 8-10 gallons of bleach in the well and run it until its gets to the house. Let it sit for a day or two and run to clean out. Use the pool test strip to verify.
In late fall I drain the whole house. In late fall just get water from the lake. In the winter just drill a hole in the ice or bring water. I just fill up the tank behind the toilet and it flushes like normal holding the lever down to get all the water.
