Grundfos · ALPHA3 Pump

What does System noise (air) mean?

Audible noise, such as gurgling or bubbling, is present in the heating system pipes, indicating the presence of air pockets.

Common Causes

  • Air introduced into the system during initial filling or maintenance.
  • Incomplete venting of the system after draining or refilling.
  • Small leaks in the system drawing in air.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Locate and open air vents on radiators and other high points in the system to release trapped air.

  2. 2

    Ensure the system pressure is adequate after venting, topping up water if necessary.

  3. 3

    Let the pump run; it is designed to be self-venting through the system over a period of time.

  4. 4

    Consider using the Grundfos GO Remote app's 'Pump venting' function if noise persists after manual venting.
