[Lowfer] well controller noise?

Hi all,
The pressure tank for my well system is failing.
Rather than replace it, I am considering buying one
of the new constant pressure systems, which use
variable frequency drive to the submersible pump motor.
These controllers are switch-mode inverters that
run at LF. I am worried about RFI. Specifically,
although the mains input is probably well filtered,
the motor output might not be, and the well system
might form a decent earth loop antenna and radiate
lots of LF.
Do any of you have constant pressure systems?
Are there problems with RF noise from them?
Thanks and 73,
