A 50-gal comparison chart is a great tool that presents advantages and disadvantages of different models. For example, most State gas water heaters have one aluminum anode rod while others have two magnesium, which means better protection against corrosion.

You will also see advanced features such as the Intelli-Vent gas control valve that helps enhance performance and easy troubleshooting or durable silicon nitride hot surface ignitor, which are not found on standard and less expensive models.
