How many millivolts does a Laars Lite burn?
Laars is my least favorite heater. But what you describe probably isn’t the heater but the fact it is a millivolt heater. The pilot flame heats the pilot generator and creates 750 (3/4 volt) millivolts. In the real world its about 500-600. The flame needs to burn clean and hot to do that and of course the generator doesn’t last forever.

How much does it cost to repair a Laars Lite pool heater?
Believe it or not, when our Laars Lite 2 pool heater, heat exchange unit, began leaking we were not about to pay $900 to replace it either — we took it apart and went to a radiator shop and had it repaired. The heat exchanger is similar to a radioator, it cost around $120 to have it fixed — and it is still ok after 3 seasons.
