    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Ok, now I got it. Thanks. However my boiler is too simple I guess. It has only one button - RESET. No dials, no nothing else. It's a Main HE system boiler as I mentioned in my initial message in the thread. It's kind of a fully automatic?

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Sorry but I don't get it. The boiler's thermostat is the Hive one and I could not find any temperature setting for hot water neither on the thermostat nor the app. Here is my diy cylinder insulation by the way.

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Thanks again for the explanation. I will try this approach then and will see how it goes with my gas bills. There is some insulation (4 soft blankets in red plastic cover which I guess you call "tie on cylinder jackets") which I pushed at one side to make photos. By the way what is recommended...

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Thank you, that's much clearer now. Previously, I was under the impression that the hot water and heating operated through separate water circuits. However, it seems I was mistaken, and the same water flows through the boiler to either the radiators or the storage tanks, or both simultaneously...

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Thanks for explaining this. So back to the default settings and the system works fine now (however I miss the blue light - it was so cute :-)). Thanks again. A quick question if you don't mind just for broadening my understanding. "Fully pumped" means that the boiler pumps the heated water both...

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    Thank you very much for the clarification and for reminding me to set up the gravity mode. I have successfully installed the Hive system, including the hub, receiver, and thermostat. All the tests outlined in the installation instructions went smoothly. The system is operational, and I can now...

    Replacing Potterton EP2002 and BG RS2 with Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat

    I am looking to replace an old Potterton EP2002 programmer and a BG RS2 thermostat with the Hive Active Heating and Hot Water thermostat. My heating system is a gravity-fed Main HE system boiler. From what I gather, I need to disconnect the L-5 link, relocate the remaining 5 wire to the L...
