Product details
The Teledyne Laars W0036901 is the pilot generator for Laars gas pool heaters. It is listed alongside the Jandy Laars Lite and Lite2, Series 2 and Hot Shot heater parts.
What it does
The pilot generator sits directly in the pilot flame. Heat at its tip produces the small electrical current that holds the gas valve open, which is what allows the main burner to light and stay lit. It is a wear part: the output falls off over years of service until the valve will no longer hold.
The symptom to look for
A heater whose pilot lights and stays lit, but whose main burner either never comes on or shuts down soon after lighting, is the classic pattern for a tired pilot generator. Order it by the Laars number rather than by a generic size, since the fitting and length matter.

Questions and answers
What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.
What does a pilot generator do?
It sits in the pilot flame and generates the small electrical current that holds the gas valve open. No current, no main burner.
My pilot lights but the heater will not fire. Is this the part?
It is one of the first things to check. A pilot generator that has aged out will keep a pilot alight while producing too little current to hold the valve, so the burner never comes on or drops out shortly after lighting.
Which heaters is it listed for?
Teledyne Laars gas pool heaters. It appears in the parts listings for the Jandy Laars Lite and Lite2, the Series 2 and the Hot Shot.
Is it the same as a thermocouple?
They do the same job in different scales, so order by the Laars part number W0036901 rather than by a generic thermocouple length.
