I have an open loop geothermal system that just discharges water into a pond on my property. This line has frozen up in the past so last summer I dug it up and insulated it, and also installed a heat cable inside the last 25ft of pipe where it goes to daylight. I ran the cable to an above ground post and connected to a blank face 20 amp GFI outlet/box. The line is serviced by a 15 amp 240 volt breaker. The problem is the location is about a hundred yards from the house, and if the GFI trips there's a chance the discharge water line could freeze. With blizzards and deep snow conditions I can't check every day to see if it has tripped. Is there some way that I can monitor this remotely, keeping in mind that the location would be about a hundred yards from my home and Wi-Fi. Or is there a different configuration you can recommend? Thanks
