I have non return valve in the secondary return before the pump (DAB 65/150-3) which constantly rattles when the pump is running. Its been tried in both the horizontal and vertical modes with no effect. The only way I can silence it is by throttling the isolation valve on the cylinder side of the pump to around 1/3 open but this just seems to defeat the object by having to wait ages to recieve hot water at the furthest bathroom in the line.
I have advised that installing a pump with a built in non-return valve could help but I have been unable to sourse one. Can you recommend any solutions?
 
Why is there a NRV fitted?
Is the NRV a spring loaded type or a swing check type, if a swing check then you could probably install the spring loaded type but on the circ pump discharge side.

It seems to be a DAB 65..... which I think is 65dM or 6.5M, if so, this would circulate enough water for a small town, a DAB10 or less should be more than adequate, I think these pumps are single speed.
