Find out what makes the State Premier
water heaters the best gas-powered residential
water heating appliances manufactured by State Ind. The review will
cover
Premier models from the power vent, power direct vent, atmospheric,
high efficiency and
hybrid-type group.

The Best Of

Two groups; Power Vent and Power Vent DV water heaters, are
the
most attractive since they are designed as
high efficient units that provide up to 96 %
thermal efficiency, and are recommended for high demand homes. The main
reason for such a high thermal efficiency
are several advanced features such as the Self-Cleaning
Turbo Coil dip
tube
system, thick and energy saving foam insulation, Blue Diamond
protection and other quality
features and elements.

Features

The
main characteristics of State gas
water heaters from Premier family and with Power and Power DV Vents
are:

  • Blue Diamond lining is premium grade
    glass
    coating that is used on the tank surface for better protection against
    corrosion.

  • Automatic Self-Cleaning Turbo Coil Dip Tube system,
    designed to reduce mineral deposits on
    the tank's bottom and keep the high water heating performance.

  • Stainless steel core anode rode for tank protection
    against
    corrosion.

  • Green
    Choice     low NOx burner that reduces the emission of
    greenhouse gases by one third, when compare to standard gas burners.

  • FVIR compliance

  • Premium electronic control with LCD screen, for
    advanced diagnostics
    and quick troubleshooting and precise temperature control.

  • Fully submerged helical coil condensing heat
    exchanger for
    maximum performance and high efficiency (found on two models).

  • Temperature and pressure relief valve.

  • Easy installation and in less space than 75-gallon
    with similar characteristics.

  • Lower operating costs.

Many of these features are also seen on Premier
Self-cleaning or atmospheric models... see below.

  • ICOMM compatibility allows remote control monitoring

Power
Vent Models

Power Vent water heater model GP6 50 YTVIT is designed with
the 90%
thermal
efficiency, which allows this 50 gallon water heater to outperform the
heater with the 75
gallon tank size.

The main characteristics are:

  • 90% thermal efficiency.

  • 76,000 BTU per hour.

  • First hour delivery of 127 gallons and 92 GPH
    recovery.

  • Recirculating taps to combine space heating and hot
    water systems.

  • Up to 128 feet for venting length with 2,
    3, 4" in diameter PVC pipe.

  • Intelli-Vent power gas control valve with hot surface
    igniter.

  • Side connection for space and potable water heating.

Premier Hybrid

State Premier hybrid water heater GPH 90N has the innovative
design; it combines the best from the tankless and the conventional
storage tank technology. With the patented circulation system, thick
foam insulation and power vent option, hybrid heater is capable to
deliver over 90% thermal efficiency and extremely high first hour
delivery with continuous flow of hot water.

Premier High Efficiency Models

There is a group of high efficiency gas models with the
atmospheric venting that uses the patented pressurized combustion
chamber designed to deliver high efficient water heating. Both GP6 40
YPCT as 40-gal model and
GP6 50 YPCT as the 50-gal unit are equipped with great features such as
the
non-sacrificial powered anode rod, diagnostic system and hot surface
ignitor.


Self-Cleaning
Models

Atmospherically vented State Premier water heaters
are Self-Cleaning
models due to the innovative dip tube design, and are constructed in
two sizes; GPX 40 YXRT as the 40 gallon and GPX 40 YXRT with the 50
gallon capacity. The
Self-Cleaning Turbo Coil dip tube is designed with jet ports to create
turbulence and therefore, reduce the sediment build-up and prolong
tank's
life.

There is also a group of HE with the side loop that allows
recirculation and space heating. These units are available in two
sizes: 30 and 40 gallons and are equipped with the intelligent control
logic, diagnostic system and are backed by 10-year warranty.
