If the unit is propane or gas, the flame sensor may be bad or not in the flame long enough to "lock" the circuit on. Some units require you to hold the pilot on for 10-15 seconds to heat the sensor enough to "make" the cicuit. If in doubt, call a professional because gas and propane can be VERY dangerous.

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 start a Hayward pool heater, first ensure that the gas supply is turned on and the heater's power is connected. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Open the heater’s control panel and press the "On" button or switch to start the ignition process, which may take a few moments. Once the heater ignites, monitor the display for any error codes and adjust settings as needed.
This job is best left for a qualified pool tech who knows the codes in your state. One wrong part of the installation could get you seriously hurt.
