Can I fix a cracking pool deck myself?
You can safely run the first checks: note whether cracks are hairline or wide and offset, and check if one side of a crack sits higher than the other. Anything involving wiring, gas, or a submerged fixture should go to a licensed Ramona pro.
Does Ramona's hard water make this worse?
It can. Ramona water runs 12-16 gpg, rated 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.
