completed the water flow alarm system – took a bit longer than I’d wanted it to due a lowered personal energy level and running into various technical challenges, also basement plant room with 3 gas boilers is not the most pleasant place to be in during summer when you have to lock yourself in there to prevent the patients walking in

flow alarm in operation (this needs more calibration settings to avoid false alarms when the kitchen draws off loads of water but at least I know the high flow rate alarm works and I got the k-number (number of pulses per unit) correct)

power fail alarm (there is an elaborate arrangement of pumps which boost the pressure from the CWS tank, an off supply causes the pump controller to shut down so it must be reset when the electric supply is restored. this also involves opening taps to avoid pressure shock and airlocks which is one reason this whole system was installed as the taps sometimes get left open.

The control system triggers a burglar alarm autodialler that calls various phones on the internal system – the caller ID name is “Gooseguard” (where there’s geese, there is usually water :laugh_at: )
