How Much
Better Is
Blue Diamond?
The water heater is the most frequently used appliance in any home and accounts for an estimated 20%
of the total yearly energy budget. That makes choosing State’s 10-year warranty Premier water heater one
of the smartest long-term investments a homeowner can make.
Every self-cleaning Premier water heater is fully loaded with innovative technology and superior materials for
maximum money-saving efficiency, high hot-water output and long, dependable life. And now, State has made
our best even better, by adding the new Blue Diamond™ Glass Coating.
Patented Blue Diamond
™
… Ultimate Protection.
At the heart of almost every water heater is a steel tank, protected against
the corrosive effects of hot water by porcelain “glass lining”. Our
breakthrough Blue Diamond formula is enriched with a higher level of
zircon, producing a coating that is harder and more water-resistant
than any other in the industry.
The superior water resistance of Blue Diamond
has been demonstrated in accelerated tests
against glass lining samples taken from
competitive water heaters.
These tests determined water resistance by
measuring the rate at which each glass lining
sample dissolved over the 20-week test cycle. The results
(expressed in milligrams of weight loss per square inch of lining
surface) are an indicator of how the glass lining will stand up to
constant exposure to hot water. The lowest milligrams per square
inch loss shows, Blue Diamond outlasts them all!

Energy-Saving Silencer™ Heat Traps
help keep energy from escaping
during “standby” periods.
Pioneered by State in 1982, the
Self-Cleaning Turbo Coil Dip Tube
helps prolong tank life and
maintain high energy-efficiency.
It directs incoming cold water to
create turbulence that reduces
sediment buildup in the tank.

meets ANS Z21.10.1 standards
dealing with the ignition of flammable
vapors outside the water heater.
Exclusive non-metallic Corderite flame
arrestor will not warp or conduct heat.
Energy-Saving Foam Insulation
for superior protection against
radiant heat loss. 2"-thick insulation
on gas models. 3"-thick insulation
on electric models.
The Turbo Coil and all other State water
heater Dip Tubes are made from PEXAN™, a
cross-link PEX polymer that can
withstand long-term exposure to
water temperatures up to 400F.
Heavy-Duty Magnesium Anode Rods
help protect glass-lined tank from rust
and corrosion.
Eco-Friendly Green Choice™ Gas Burner,
standard on all State gas water heaters,
reduces NOx emissions by up to 33%,
complies with Southern California and
Texas requirements.
Easy-to-Light Piezo Igniter
for fast “one-hand” pilot ignition
on C3 Technology gas models.
Durable Brass Drain Valve
with tamper-resistant design.
View Port for easy burner inspection,
standard on all C3 Technology gas
models.
Sandhog elements operate
more efficiently and last 2-3
times longer than standard
copper elements.
Premier Electric Equipped with State
Sandhog Heating Element
with low-watt density design and
nearly indestructible Incoloy steel.
