Dialer- we have one but is not going to carry with new system, new dialer will contact JR and advise of pressure and water when alert or problem. Couple different options and JR going to visit a plant and see their warning system. The Generator will have a warning system that will also alert JR and Carol plus their tech if concerns. That w/ generator is separate from Dialer. Censa phone includes 8 channel telephone dialer. JR wants a more advance warning and may have to update w/panel. $8700.00 requires a phone line, so will have phone bill and if power goes out then no alarms. Possibly add with change order to add to grant, Carol verified just pay for it ourselves and be done. Modern system Omni Crystal Ball, site requires wireless service and price includes first year and programming. JR advise the inputs 6 pumps, 3 chemical feeds, so need the larger inputs and have alert when second pump kicks on, leak or fire hydrant usage. $10,898.00 Phone line is $1560.00 year if Censa phone needs phone.
