What is the depth limitation for low-flow bladder pump sampling

Is there a depth limitation for low-flow sampling using a bladder pump?  If so, what is that depth?

Generally, the practical limit is a depth of about 1,000-1,100 feet. For low-flow sampling applications where the water level is greater than the total depth of the well we can use an inlet extension or drop tube to get samples from even deeper applications.
