Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CAT 5000 different from the CAT 4000?
The CAT 5000 supports four wireless communication protocols — WiFi, Reflex, Cellular, and Satellite — providing worldwide coverage compared to the CAT 4000's WiFi-only connectivity. The CAT 5000 is also designed to eliminate dedicated telephone lines entirely and adds temperature monitoring to its alarm and safety system. Choose the CAT 5000 for operations requiring satellite or cellular backup, or where internet connectivity isn't guaranteed on-site.
What communication options are available if WiFi isn't available?
The CAT 5000 supports Reflex radio, cellular (requires cellular plan), and satellite communication — ensuring the controller can report alarms and water chemistry data even in locations without reliable WiFi or internet access, such as remote resort properties or facilities in areas with poor cellular coverage.
What does the Professional Package add vs. a Standard Package?
The Professional Package includes a machined acrylic flow cell and rotary flow sensor (RFS) — the premium flow measurement hardware — vs. the molded flow cell and float-style sensor in a Standard Package. The machined cell and rotary sensor provide more accurate and reliable flow detection for commercial environments.
