Secondary non-return valve

View the thread, titled "Secondary non-return valve" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

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.

Hot water secondary return

sounds like there’s too much flow going through the valve have you tried turning the pump down as it only wants a trickle through
 
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.
