What causes a pool heater that will not heat in Guatay?
The usual suspects are failed igniter, flame sensor, or pressure switch and insufficient water flow tripping the high-limit. In Guatay, freeze-cracked equipment and plumbing across a remote mountain community with very few pools can make some of these more likely. A technician confirms the cause on site rather than guessing from symptoms.
How much does it cost to fix a pool heater that will not heat in Guatay?

Can I fix a pool heater that will not heat myself?
You can safely run the first checks: confirm the pump is running and flow is strong, and check the thermostat is set above current water temperature. Anything involving wiring, gas, or a submerged fixture should go to a licensed Guatay pro.
Does Guatay's hard water make this worse?
It can. Guatay 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.
