I do..
Pricey...but damn well worth it
Especially when you couple it with an Ultra Plus Potable hot water heater
Have single, tandem and triple installations...Apartment building owners
love them....definitely drops the gas bill and usage.
A little steep for residences. But still worth it...when you can only get
82 - 84% AFUE on other boilers...

> Price, very expensive boiler.
> Uses primary/secondary piping using 2 pumps and more piping and valves
> The temp/press gauge on the front looks like something that belongs on

> Cheap, cheap, cheap.
