Can I fix pool automation that stopped responding myself?
You can safely run the first checks: confirm the panel has power and the breaker is on, and cycle the panel power and let it reconnect. Anything involving wiring, gas, or a submerged fixture should go to a licensed Valley Center pro.
Does Valley Center's hard water make this worse?
It can. Valley Center water runs 14-18 gpg, rated very hard, and scale from hard water is a real factor in problems like this. A pro will check for buildup as part of the diagnosis.
