After this first year, it seems like I would do better to put the amount I’d be spending per month into savings, but who knows.

Have done the requisite troubleshooting (turning the solenoids on in the control box, trying to perform the Test All Valves function), but so far I'm not getting any water. I've been on hold for 15 minutes and am getting cranky.

If you're even moderately handy and have time, no problem. Youtube is the holy grail for DIY projects.
