I think what Joe is referring to is the over-temp regulators, which (at 
least in CA) tend to be thermocouple controlled.  Basically, if the 
temperature in the tank exceeds whatever the limit is (factory) set to, the 
unit shuts off...great, until it malfunctions.

There are also "instant" gas ones, as well, which now meet the building 
codes in most areas.  If you have gas (natural, LP, etc), they are often 
much more economical than the electric models.

Best.
