Odd behaviour when hitting strong man on Daikin Hot Water Boost

This is not a faulty part per-se but possibly that these meters are more susceptible to dissolved air in the system.

This happened to me after octopus changed half of the radiators and forgot to put inhibitor back into the system (grabbed a bottle of x100 from toolstation and filled it via the magnetic filter).
