Hello all, here's the problem I've got. My Danner 500gph pump is throwing a giant magnetic field that is interfereing with my monitor(Viewsonic A90), and they are a good 4 feet apart. If I run the monitor at anything lower than 100hz refresh rate, the entire screen waves and distorts with the field. This is a problem because it's a waste of a 19" monitor to run it at 1024x768 just so I can have a 100hz refresh rate. My question is, is there any way I can insulate either the pump or the monitor, so that the field is dampenend, and no longer will affect the monitor? Has anyone had run into this sort of thing before? If I can't dampen it, if I buy, say a 250gph pump, will it halve the size of the magnetic field? Thanks in advance for any input you guys have.
Cheers,
