Can I fix water leaking at the equipment pad myself?
You can safely run the first checks: trace the wet spot back to the exact fitting, and check the pump lid, unions, and filter band for drips. Anything involving wiring, gas, or a submerged fixture should go to a licensed Rancho San Diego pro.
Does Rancho San Diego's hard water make this worse?
It can. Rancho San Diego water runs 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.
