don't think silver solder should be a problem as it's specced for residential water pipes, and the amount of silver your talking about is soo small as on a properly sweated joint I would say only a few sq MM of solder are ever exposed to water.

as far as the pump, they have never disturbed Hdd's to my knowledge. I could only see it being a problem if you had a 12v pump, on the same rail, with a crappy psu, and the pump was putting a lot of interference in the rail. Also modern HDD's already have an extremely powerful rare earth magnet in them, and they still are cast steel cases so it would take a lot to mess em up
