THIS (step up transformer) IS THE CORRECT ANSWER, BUT THERE ARE SOME ISSUES !
Step one Have a generator inlet installed on the house and have wired it to a generator interlock in the breaker panel. NOT a transfer switch. Less expensive and it allow you select at the time of the outage which circuits get power.
Step two

More specifically, the voltage between the two legs will be ZERO !
Step Three Size the transformer referenced at the beginning for your well pump. My SWAG is 3000W
Step four Have an electrician wire a 240V DPDT relay (the coil voltage must be 240V) so that when you DO have 240V the pump receives power . When you DO NOT have 240V (power outage) the 120V runs through the transformer to the well pump.
