Help with ballast interference and continuous read meter

I have a Nutradip TriMeter. The meter works great, but as many of you may be aware, they have issues with interference from some digital ballasts. I've contacted Nutradip, but in the meantime, I'm trying to figure out some way to shield the meter and/or the ballasts to block the interference.

My ballasts sit from 1'-3' away from the reservoir. Obviously, I need the meter at the reservoir.

Anyone else had this problem and find a solution? (other than getting different ballasts or meter)

Nobody has any ideas? Wrong forum perhaps?

I've discovered that it doesn't happen all the time and it MIGHT be related to only one ballast. I'll keep testing.

I'm still waiting on a response from Nutradip. I may try putting a piece of sheet metal between the ballasts and the meter/reservoir. I just can't really move either and I don't want to completely enclose the ballasts at the risk of cooking them. I put a lot of time and thought into how to layout my basement, but I didn't know I needed to account for this!
