I know of two acreages (there have to be more) that have 500 gallon water tanks in the basement. These tanks are non-pressurized. The acreages use the tank as the supply via a second pump. Think of this as a reserve for intermittent heavy consumption.
The well pump's job is to keep the tank full and can work even at night (with no cosumption taking place). The main problem would be if the well pump sucks the well down too much. This could be alleviated by 'throtteling' the well pump's output.
