About This Facility

The facility is designed to maintain a trout fishery, specifically rainbow trout, within the city limits of Gatlinburg. Fish reared at the facility are facility are transported in loads ranging from 350 to 500 lbs. per stocking and deposited into the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River every Thursday (no fishing

is allowed on Thursday).


Customer Challenge

The biggest problem they have are leaves clogging the intake which causes the wet well to get too low. When this happens their air burst system cleans the intake screen before the pumps come back on. Sometimes the air burst can not keep up and the system gets into a cycle of pumping then stopping to clean to a point that the compressor runs out of air completely and the fish have extended periods of time without fresh water. The only way they could tell what was happening without being present in the past was to get a call from our emergency call out system, but at that point they are in a big rush to get to work and solve the problem and could possibly not make it in time. pressure, flow, current, etc. The RMC 2000 is a cloud based IIoT system. There is no installed or purchased software required. It is a solution that is not only inexpensive but also easy to install and maintain.

There is no installed or purchased software required. It is a solution that

is not only inexpensive but also easy to install and maintain.


With the RMC-2000 I can remotely monitor the water level as well as the pump run times which I use together to time the cleaning cycles and have someone on scene before an emergency call takes place which greatly reduces our risk of fish loss.
