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 Lakeside pro.
Does Lakeside's hard water make this worse?
It can. Lakeside water runs 14-18 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.
