We use the Kentec Hydrosense system (available all over - do a google search for "kentec leak detection"). Can either have a local sounder etc, or connect to dialler / redcare, or local pagers etc.

RS232 connection to a Scope pager transmitter (sends the text from eg a galaxy to pocket pagers)?

Visio brilliant for "drag and drop" functionality, but I now use Serif DrawPlus for just about everything, including plans. It reads and writes PDF's which is a real bonus - I either ask for plans in pdf, or use Autodesk or similar (free viewer) to convert cad files to pdf, import into DrawPlus, drop my symbols on top, colour in a set for the zone plan, and output everything as PDF again. Believe it or not my colleague uses Word for plans and swears by it - before you laugh, MS have nicked a lot of Visio functionality and hidden it in Word (2013 onwards) - once you add symbols to the library, turn on the grid and "drawing canvas", it isn;t actually too bad as a basic drawing program. The big advantage is that almost everyone has it already. Matt

The oldest panel we look after was 32 years old this week (yep 1 customer since new, fully functional, full drawings marked up with cable routes and junction boxes). It's weird working on stuff that was fitted before I was born, and the bloke who fitted it is probably long gone (customer remembers he retired the year after is was fitted)... Matt
