ABSTRACT:
A water heater includes a gas valve and a solenoid to operate the gas valve. A thermocouple of the water heater is heated by a pilot light to provide a current source to maintain the gas valve in an open position. A sensor activated switch switches current from a second current source to the solenoid to move the gas valve to a closed position.
