I found a post where a member lined the nozzle with firebrick. Seems to me that nozzle erosion could be a potential issue in the future if the part is not replaceable.
I also really like the econoburn 150 but I am having a lot of issues getting over the $8100 price that I was quoted directly from the manufacturer. That is a whopping $2600 more than the EKO. I am also not sure if the upper chamber / nozzle concrete is replaceable on the econoburn. Are there any boilers that this part is replaceable on? Is it not a wear item?
I just got a reply from Orland EKO. The Nozzle is replaceable. Picture attached.
Nice work! I ruled out the econburn because of price. I am going with the EKO 40 and I think I am going to use that additional 3,000 to buy the 490 gallon pressurized storage from new horizons. It is a preinsulated square container that will fit through my 31" doorway. The boiler will be in a garden shed outside and I will have to use a water to air xchanger and thermopex for my insulated line. I assume this is all compatible with a pressurized system, correct?
