Does water heater pilot setting still heat water?
The pilot setting will heat the water a few degrees. A gas water heater will have a thermal rating in BTU of 30,000 to 80,000. The pilot light by itself will have about 1,000 BTU. Operating overnight with no water movement and a well-insulated tank, you will observe a temperature rise but certainly not enough for clothes washing, dishwashers, or showers.

How do you light a polite on hot water heater?
FIRST; read all, you should read the manual first,if you dont have one,you can find it online, just google the MFG of the water tank. If it is a state, just put state water heater in google. Then you can search for your manual, and so on for any MFG. on the top of the gas valve is a black knob, it should say- off,on,pilot. the knob could have an arrow or a dot, point the arrow or dot to pilot and press down on the knob,(you must have a match,long one or grill lighter ready to light pilot when you press down on the knob,as this will release gas for lighting ) hold the knob down for a minute after the pilot is light, this tells the thermocouple that there is flame present and to stay light. Most times there is a copper line running from the gas valve to the inside of the tank, at the end of this line is the pilot light,this is what you try to light. If you release the knob and the light goes out try it again and hold the knob down longer. After you release the knob and the pilot light stays lite, you now turn the knob to ON.

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.)
