3. Burnham AL35SL Alliance SL Hydrastone-Lined Indirect-Fired Water Heater, 35 gal
Introduction
The Alliance SL uses a stone interior, what they call hydrastone. This lining absorbs water and then removes all the oxygen pockets over a short period of time, rendering the water inert. This retained water within the stone acts as both a heat barrier as well as an anti-corrosion protection.
Essentially what you get is a more efficient heat preservation process that saves on money, the large layer of high-density R-16 (hydrastone) insulation leads the system to lose less than 1oF per hour
Tank Capacity: 35 gallons
Continuous Draw: 162GHP @ 135oF
