Viessmann Hydraulic Resonance / Pump or Flow Noise

Boiler and pipework vibrate or make humming noises when running

Possible Causes

Pump speed too high, poorly supported pipework, air in system, partially closed valves causing high velocity

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Secure ladders or access equipment when working near vibrating pipework.

  • Adjust pump speed: Reduce pump speed if set unnecessarily high, following Viessmann guidelines.
  • Open valves fully: Ensure isolation and balancing valves are not almost closed, which can cause whistling and vibration.
  • Bleed air: Remove air from radiators and high points.
  • Support pipework: Add or adjust pipe clips to prevent pipes from resonating against walls or other structures.
