It is listed alongside the Jandy Laars Lite and Lite2, Series 2 and Hot Shot heater parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe symptom to look for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterpik Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633780699348,"sku":"LAR-151-5101","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_e947860c-7dfa-42d7-bdf1-b1f260c1f2c9.jpg?v=1788816138","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pilot-generator-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
