A friend of mine installs/repairs pools and he mentioned a problem with VS pumps. Turns out they're very sensitive to electrical surges. He's guaranteed at least 1 call after any large storm with lightning and it's always a dead controller pack. Since they're built in he has to replace the motor.
He installs surge protectors, one at the panel and one at the disconnect box on new installs and replacements to keep the callbacks down. You may not experience the same troubles being in Cali.
