If I remember right the Guard Dog Shuts down and looks for water then comes back on after a internal clock goes threw it's cycle. At least that is how they worked when they came out. A lot of service calls to find they system was doing as designed. Took a lot of them off to make customers happy. You might consider a different LWCO read the spec before you install it.0 -

spark ignition / guard dog
one more detail, when call for ignition, pilot lites with right hand sensor but left hand secondary sensor fails to ignite & unit shuts down. tried replacing ignition wire to secondary sensor & that worked but one day later started malfunctioning again. maybe bad secondary spark pak ? its always something. bob0
