Introduction
Description
The CAT 5000 revolutionizes the manner in which water quality can be monitored and maintained.
A pool operator typically checks, records and adjusts pool or spa water chemistry hourly at best.
The CAT 5000 continuously samples pH and sanitizer activity, adjusting the feeding of chemicals
on a basis proportional to the demand. Hourly water quality readings are sent along with any
alarms or service requests through a wireless network to the POOLCOMM web server for remote
monitoring and management through any internet connection. NOTE: The POOLCOMM website is
a subscription based service. Monthly charges apply.
From the website, the subscriber can monitor water quality, print charts, graphs and logs, change
controller settings, and designate contacts for outbound notification via email, cell phone or PDA.
Optional digital flow and level sensors are available to monitor flow rate, chemical storage tank
levels, and even automate water level control.
The results include elimination of “human error”, accurate and reliable maintenance of chemical
levels twenty-four hours a day, compliance with Health Department operating standards, reduced
burden on operating staff, and a reduction of chemical usage and costs. The CAT 5000 control-
ler and POOLCOMM water quality management website together provide unprecedented control,
access and documentation.
