Hey Guys,
Since my first posting of what to do about the smell from the EKO Boilers I have been e mailing Poland for assistance. They are in denial of any problem with smell. I believe it was Timberr who also tried to contact them. I think it is time that we all took a minute to email Poland as individuals and a collective group and let them know there is a problem with installing these boilers in a basement location. I have enclosed the various e mail addresses for your convenience:

Company Owner - Jacek Orlanski <[email protected]>
Company Owner - Wieslaw Orlanski <[email protected]>
Product Export Manager - Grzegorz Czapor <[email protected]>
Technical Director - Wieslaw Cisowsli <[email protected]>
Technical Advisor - Kamil Wygoda <[email protected]>
Technical Advisor - Arkadiusz Zyrek <[email protected]>

The EKO Boiler is a great product but it does have a small fault all we want is to have it fixed
Thanks for letting me vent
Happy and Healthy New Year to ALL

I did as well and yes they are in a Polok denial. Ended up routing my complaint to Zenon. How big of a deal is it to contact a reputable gasket company and have them manufacture a silicone based gasket? I already found a half dozen online.
 
It seems as if your dealing with a casing leak. I would be tempted to test the unit under air pressure after sealing the flue outlet and using a smoke bomb. I've done this with large boilers to find casing leaks. Some creativity would be needed to do this.

I just spent another hour this morning caulking up everything I could find on the upper door. Hopefully I'm getting closer to odor free. I'm still pleased with the operation of the EKO and the $5 bathroom vent fan I purchased last weekend still keeps the odor from being an issue in my house. I'm just sick of having the vent fan sitting on top of my EKO. I want her to run unassisted....
