Product Overview

The Pentair 71515 MiniMax pilot generator Q313A with clip is an essential component used in millivolt ignition systems for pool and spa heaters. Positioned within the pilot flame, the thermopile generates a small electrical voltage that powers the heater’s gas valve control circuit, allowing the heater to operate without external electrical power.

When functioning properly, the pilot generator maintains a stable electrical signal that keeps the pilot lit and enables the heater ignition sequence. If the thermopile weakens or fails, the heater may experience ignition issues or the pilot may not remain lit. Replacing the pilot generator restores proper millivolt output and helps ensure reliable operation in compatible MiniMax heater systems.
