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.

To light a gas heater with an electronic pilot, locate the pilot light button on the heater. Press and hold the button while simultaneously pressing the ignition button. Keep holding the pilot button for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to ignite. Release the pilot button and adjust the temperature as needed.
Gas water heater has an orifice for main burner and for pilot light, if not electronic ignition.
Possible reasons why a Teledyne Laars Phase 2 pool heater may not ignite include issues with the pilot light, gas supply, or faulty igniter. Check if the pilot light is lit, ensure there is proper gas supply to the heater, and inspect the igniter for any signs of damage or malfunction. Additionally, check for any error codes on the heater display panel that may provide further information on the issue.

Release the pilot button and turn the control knob to the desired temperature setting. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on lighting your water heater.
I was told by Teledyne Laars that your pilot generator needs to produce at least 500mv to open the gas valve. Mine makes 350mv and will not open the valve. Hmm, I think that should be nearer to 600 mv - 700 mv.
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
To determine if the water heater pilot light is out, locate the pilot light access panel on the water heater. Look inside to see if the pilot light is lit. If it is not lit, you may need to relight it following the manufacturer's instructions.
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
The heater pilot light may not stay lit due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a dirty pilot light. It is important to check and clean these components to ensure the pilot light stays lit.
Pentair Mini Max does not have a pilot light, it has a Electronic ignition. If your having trouble getting it to fire up you could have a problem with a plugged burner, bad ignition or a bad valve.
The pilot light on the water heater went out because there was a lack of gas flow or a problem with the ignition system.
