Water Made Better
ProLine® Master Series

Conventional Water Heaters

Reliable hot water. Built to outlast.

Why ProLine® Master

Commercial-Grade. Priced for your home.

A residential tank built to commercial-grade standards — quieter operation, cleaner combustion, and tank protection engineered to last.

Commercial-Grade Tank Protection

Built to commercial standards with a patented Blue Diamond® glass tank lining and a stainless steel CoreGard™ anode rod — engineered to outlast ordinary residential tanks against the corrosive effects of water.

Ultra-Low NOx, Cleaner Combustion

The Green Choice® Gas Burner meets or exceeds the strictest emission requirements in California and Utah, giving you efficient hot water with a noticeably cleaner footprint.

Self-Cleaning for a Longer Life

DynaClean™ automatic sediment-cleaning continuously fights build-up at the bottom of the tank — the #1 enemy of water heater lifespan — so your unit runs efficiently year after year.
