Hi I have a potterton suprima 30 boiler and a potterton EP2002 control unit. If the hot water and heating controls are at the "on" position so that they are running 24 hours a day then the hot water does not heat up once it has been used up. It appears that there is a fault where...

ivanov, Did you ever fix this problem? I have the same issue Danny

I thought i'd bring this topic back to life as I still have the banging noise when the motorised valve closes and am no closer to finding a solution. Any other ideas? Danny
