Hot water heater pilot light works heater wont light?
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
Can i adjust the pilot light on my hot water heater?
Most pilot lights are not adjustable. If it's not working properly the usual solution is to change the thermocouple.
What if you changed the gas control valve and the electronic ignition on the water heater and the pilot still goes out after awhile?
The thermocouple is usually the first thing to change. It controls the valve and the spark ignition is just to light the pilot.
What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
My hot water heater won't heat the water?
Gas or electric? Gas, the most common problem is the thermocouple being bad. If you have a pilot light that is on but the heater will not light, that is probably the problem. Easy enough to fix. Electric, check the breaker first. It they are on, it's probably one of the heating elements burned out. Probably the top one, but it can be either. These are also easy enough to change.

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.
