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.
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.
Gas water heater has an orifice for main burner and for pilot light, if not electronic ignition.
No, the Hayward H400ED1 pool heater does not have a pilot light. Instead, it uses electronic ignition, which means it ignites the gas burner electronically when heat is needed. This design enhances efficiency and eliminates the need for a continuously burning pilot light.
To light a water heater with an electronic pilot by Honeywell, follow these steps: Locate the control panel on the water heater. Turn the control knob to the "Pilot" position. Press and hold the pilot button while pressing the ignition button. Continue holding the pilot button for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot flame to ignite. 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.
To light the pilot on a Teledyne Laars model, first ensure the gas supply is turned on. Locate the pilot light assembly, then turn the gas control knob to the "Pilot" position. Press and hold the knob while using a long lighter or match to ignite the pilot flame. Once the pilot is lit, continue holding the knob for about 30 seconds before releasing it; the pilot should stay lit.
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
To determine if your Dearborn heater has a pilot light, look for a small flame or light within the combustion chamber or near the burner assembly, usually visible through a small access panel. If you see a small steady flame when the heater is turned on, that indicates a pilot light. Additionally, check the heater's manual or specifications for guidance on its ignition system, as some models may use electronic ignition instead of a pilot light. If unsure, consider consulting a professional for assistance.
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.
The pilot light on a Teledyne Laars furnace is typically located near the burner assembly, often at the bottom of the unit. To access it, you may need to remove a protective cover or panel. Once located, the pilot light can usually be lit using a match or lighter after turning the gas control valve to the "pilot" position. Always refer to the specific model’s manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.
