In this Aqua manual, they said on page 25 of the manual that "since the pump includes a synchronous motor, it generates a magnetic field as any electromagnetic motor. Also there is a rather powerful permanent magnet inside the pum. This magnet rotates and creates a changing magnetic field too.

"For this reason keep a safety distance of at least 0.5m to all sensible devices such as hard drive, screens and so on."

Now, eventhough Aqua is talking their own pump, surely the above applies to all pumps. But I notice w/ so many pic. posted from various users, that their pumps are quite close to other sensible devices, i.e., their hard drive.

Does anyone cares about loss of data?

most pumps are shielded i believe ..... eheim 1048+ are (but 1046 isn't....)
