Arotherm Flow/ Pump Noise
Hello all,
I’ve just had an arotherm 10kw installed in August and now the heating is on more consistently there is a noticeable flow noise coming from the airing cupboard, particularly around the filter

This is with no heating or hot water demand, just the pump circulating. There are AAVs in the highest point in the loft and have bled all radiators to no effect. House was repiped and there is no buffer tank or volumiser.
The installer is coming to have a look on Thursday but I wanted to get an idea on what is “normal” beforehand having come from an old gravity fed oil boiler.
Thanks!
