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 La Presa pro.
Does La Presa's hard water make this worse?
It can. La Presa water runs 14-16 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.
