The bleed valve is manual. I have to unscrew the cap slightly each time until the water comes out of it.
I do not know the temperature of the hot water but surely if any bubbles from cavitation would be downstream of the pump carried along with the water?
I mean that there is NO water to...
The bleed valve is at the highest point in the hot water feed, between the hotwater cylinder and the pump inlet.

I have installed a pumped shower system. I used a seperate feed direct from the cold water to the pump and a separate feed from the hot water tank to the pump. The connection to the hot water tank was using a techflange that has a pipe that slopes upwards into the middle of the hot water tank...
