What causes a pool heater that will not heat in Santa Ysabel?

The usual suspects are failed igniter, flame sensor, or pressure switch and insufficient water flow tripping the high-limit.

A technician confirms the cause on site rather than guessing from symptoms.

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 Santa Ysabel pro.

Does Santa Ysabel's hard water make this worse?

It can. Santa Ysabel 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.
