Abstract
A sparse data system determines regulatory compliance of a plurality of small environmental systems that utilize a respective plurality of pumps. Each environmental system utilizes a universally programmed dialer configured to receive, store, and transmit pump operation data. A server is configured to utilize the time of operation of the pumps and separately provided installer information such as installer determined pump flow rates and permitted thresholds of operation of the environmental systems to provide a regulatory body with processed data indicative of whether the environmental systems are in compliance with their permitted thresholds. The dialers limit the number of connections with the server to periodically connecting to the server only after a predetermined time period or predetermined events.
