Hot water in bath not working?
If the tub is not getting hot water the issue is probably with the hot water heater. The hot water heater may have tripped a breaker or the pilot light went out.

Check if the water supply line valve underneath the sink is on or off .."On" will be turning counterclockwise ,If not look for the hot water heater and make sure the water supply valve is turned on.
Why are the radiators warm but water is cold in a central heating system?
Central heating systems usually heat on a different system from the hot water heater, unless the main heater is a combination furnace/hot water heater. If this is the case, it could be because the outflow of hot water is greater than the ability of the furnace to heat the water.
Hot water heater pilot light works heater wont light?
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
When the pilot light cut off from the water heater for 2 days do you have to run water for it to reheat?
If the pilot light is on, the heater should come on by itself. If the pilot light is off then it has to be lit. If it will not stay on, the thermocouple is bad.

How do you light the pilot on a 10 year old Teledyne Lars LLG pool heater with an electronic spark?
You don't. If the heater has an electronic spark, then it doesn't have a standing pilot to light. The spark lights the pilot when there is a call for heat, which in turn lights the burners. If the heater is on and the pump is RUNNING, the heater should light automatically when the water temperature is lower than the heat setting.
Are the line going to the thermal coupler and pilot light supposed to get hot?

If the pilot light goes out on your hot water heater is it dangerous or harmful?
No, it is not dangerous. (Unless you are working with a water heater that is 20+ years old.) In any modern hot water heater, if the pilot light goes out a fail-safe will go off - preventing gas from leaking out. Also, there is a sensor so if there is not enough air-flow or oxygen with the water heater, it will shut off the gas.
