The above comparison chart shows that most State gas water heaters have one anode rod, which is important to fight the aggressive water action, while those with two rods have better protection. Also, every unit has the Pexan dip tube, which uses the advanced self-cleaning system (specially designed dip tube that provides the turbulent water flow for sediment reduction).
Another major difference between standard and advanced models is in features such as the Intelli-Vent gas control valve that provides precise temperature, better performance, and gas valve with diagnostics for easy troubleshooting, while the appliances with silicon nitride hot surface ignitors are made for harsh conditions.
