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 are tankless water heaters green?
Tankless water heaters are green because they only heat the water as it is needed. In a conventional water heater with a tank, there are 20 - 60 gallons of hot water that must be kept hot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some of the heat in that water is constantly getting out of the tank, no matter how well it is insulated. That means that every so often, the heater must run to bring the water temperature back up. All that heat that leaks out is wasted. A tankless water heater doesn't use any energy when there is no water flowing.
