Loud Rattle/Knocking from ACE Pump?

I've got a Disco 2 v8 that I recently replaced the power steering and ACE pump on after a major mechanical failure ripped the ACE wheel off the pump and destroyed the belt. After replacement all was fine for a couple days then started experiencing a very loud rattle that got worse and worse. I brought it to a mechanic who said he replaced the filter within the reservoir? Which I didn't know was possible. Was fine for 50miles but it just started back up with a vengeance. It is louder than the engine and clearly, something is wrong. I have checked all bolts are secured and cannot find any external faults regarding the sound. I have recorded a video in case someone has an idea. My best guess is that the ace is sucking air instead of fluid? Have searched the forums extensively without much luck in a solution.
