It is most likely the thermocouple that is bad. That is what keeps the pilot light on. The thermocouple is the small tube that sits in the flame of the pilot and runs to the control valve.

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.
What will happen if you turn off your water?

Hot air balloons have a gas heater attached to them the pilot can turn the heater on the balloon and the balloon will go high why?

Do you have to turn off the gas if you turn off the water supply to the house?
YES and No Yes if you are going to be working on the gas water heater and No if you are working on a cold water line and if you are working on a hot water line you can shut off the gas or electric to the water heater so in case your water heater drains but what I usually do is just turn the water heater's water supply valve off.
Why is the water is cold after the water tank was fixed?
Check temperature setting on tank , you may need to turn it from warm to hot. Make sure your water shut off valve is turned on above the hot water tank on the hot water side.Another possibility is the heating element:If you have a gas heater, did the pilot light go out? If so, relighting the pilot will take care of the problem.If you have an electric heater, was it restarted in the right order? (Don't turn the circuit switch on unless the tank is filled-- if tank is empty when power restored, the heating elements will burn out and need to be replaced.)
