My direct vent furnace pilot light issue was the glass viewing port was missing
allowing room air to blow out the pilot light. Replacing the missing glass which stopped the draft, fixed the problem.

How can you tell when your hot water heater isn't working properly?
The simplest thing is that there isn't any hot water! You can check at the hot water heater as well as at the faucets. Check the heater itself and make sure it isn't leaking. If it is a gas heater, make sure the pilot light is on! If it is an electric water heater, make sure the breaker isn't blown and reset if necessary. If all else fails, time to call a plumber, unless you like the challenge of replacing it yourself, which isn't as daunting a task as you may think!

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 is wrong if your pilot light will not stay lite?
High winds, pilot generator. Is the heater located next to a wall? Is the heater door closed? Does the heater have a draft hood or what they call a stackless heater? Ken
