Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Performing Like A Champ –FU, California

"The SolarBee SB4000 brush type unit is performing like a champ, and it keeps on spinning. We are thrilled with the performance and it is bullet proof."

Working With Customers Builds Relationships –JP, North Carolina

"I appreciate the way Medora works with customers. I have previously worked in sales and marketing with XXXXXXXX, and they were not this smart. Your company recognizes that working with customers builds long term customer relationships. If we get this working, we would be willing to put a paper/presentation together about it for WEF or Watereuse Association."

Best Water Color –JD, West Virginia

"It is the best water color I have ever seen in all my years as an operator. DO is ranging from 11.O to 16.0 mg/l in all cells. We think the SolarBees will save us about $10,000 per year in electrical bills."

Diminished Odor Complaints –LS, California

"The SolarBees in the reservoir are doing a great job. The taste and odor complaints and copper treatments have diminished greatly. The greatest visual impact has been on the reduction of macrophytes. We no longer harvest any weeds at all."

Reduced Electric Bills –JD, West Virginia

"Since the SolarBees were installed, we have seen the best water color in all our years as an operator and our electric bills are a third of what they had been."

One Of A Kind Company -KT, CA

“You’re a one of a kind company. You get things done and you stand behind your product. You don’t find much of that these days.”

No Nitrification Events –JM, California

"We have had not had nitrification events since installing the SolarBee in our large 11 MG above ground steel tank. We have not even had to do any boosting, which we used to have to do before frequently."

Lake Looks Great –HB, Michigan

"The lake looks great! There is no sign of algae and there are lots fish along the shores. We have been lake residents for 50 years and the lake looks the best it has ever been."

No Compliance Problems –MM, Indiana

"We are saving between $5000-$6000 a year on chemical utilization."

Thanks for a job well done! -SG, New York

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you and the crew at Medora. You guys have been very responsive to our many requests and questions. In addition your field crew did a great job installing the mixer. It was impressive to see how careful they were protecting the equipment and materials they hoisted to the top of the tank so they didn't scratch the paint. Thanks again for a job well done."

Increased Chlorine Residuals –RL, Connecticut

"We are happy with the way the SolarBee system in our tank is working. We are noticing increased chlorine residuals throughout the area."

No Copper Sulfate Since SolarBee –VL, New York

"We used to use "tons" of copper sulfate in treatment and now we do not use any. Actually, we have not used any copper sulfate since the SolarBee's were installed."

Improvements Across The Board –HR, California

"Our new solar powered SolarBee mixer has been an improvement across the board with the new technology: better water quality, lower maintenance and no electricity is required."

Lower THMs -PG, California

"TTHMs went from the 90s µg/l to the 20s µg/l!"

Reduced TOC –GT, Colorado

"We are very happy with the installations of the five SolarBees in the reservoir. SolarBees have reduced the TOC component in the lake which in turn has reduced the need to replace the carbon in the contactors in the water plant."

Great Customer Service Skills! -QJ, California

"I very much appreciate the expedient service we received...great customer service skills!"

AP500 Doing Wonders! -WR, California

"The AP500 is doing wonders. It has solved the grease problem that we were having in this wet well. We have just finished our July 4th town festivities, normally a time for heavy loading, and the AP500 performed great during this period. We are running the air compressor 24/7. The compressor is quiet and unobtrusive. We are pretty excited about the AP500 and it has exceeded our expectations."

Fabulous Customer Service –RS, Oregon

"Fabulous customer service in all respects working with you folks."

Haven't Had To Boost –TC, California

"We have not had to boost since the installation! In the past we have had to boost every 1-2 weeks."

The SolarBee Made It Through The Hurricane, Thoroughly Impressed- SP, Florida

On September 10th, 2017, Hurricane Irma (known here un-affectionately as Big Irma) blew at a recorded 142 mph very near our SB10000. On September 12th I drove by the SB10000 location and noted that the machine had dragged its moorings a few dozen feet toward the west but was still operating as if nothing happened. I have to say how thoroughly impressed I am with the design and quality of your product.

Happy Neighbors –JS, Massachusetts

"We sent you a recent picture. The rainbow didn't quite end at the SolarBee, but it was close. In the meantime we have had excellent water quality this year--so far better than any recent year for mid-July. Lots of happy neighbors."

Never Been More Clear –DE, Alberta Canada

"We were just out at the Lake and it has not ever been more clear. We can see the bottom at the end of the dock. In the past few years it has gone a little cloudy by now. I am very excited about this. .....it is all the result of the SolarBees and the addition of the 2nd SolarBee this year has definitely had a positive impact. Thanks again for your ongoing help and support."

Dramatic Decrease -PD, Massachusetts

“So far the three units (GridBee® AP500 Wet Well Mixers) we have installed are working great, we have seen a dramatic decrease in alarm calls due to grease or debris buildup on floats or other pump controls.”

Best Equipment –RS, Michigan

"SolarBees are the best equipment that we have ever purchased! We have had double the normal snow and zero degree temperatures for several days and it is still operating."

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

"I know I can rely on Medora Corporation. Their attention to engineering detail is exceptional. We can really see the time and effort they took in developing their GridBee THM reduction unit. Nobody else on the market thinks about these things; it's well beyond what anyone else would have done."

Reduced Algae Blooms –DF, Oregon

"Our algae blooms are much reduced. Our pH is much more stable and we are able to discharge much more of the time. Smell is much reduced, especially when we would otherwise have a a spring thaw."

Increased Wildlife –NP, New York

"The pond now "looks great!" There is no evidence of any green slime on the pond surface, which was thick this time last year. We are also seeing an increase in wildlife; frogs, birds, birds of prey. The pond was a smelly stagnant eyesore last year, but not this year."

AP2000 Working Great –CK, California

"The AP2000 is working great the last year, the old mixer plugged all the time with aquatic weeds but the AP2000 has been running non stop and it is affecting an area more then twice of the GridBee Pond Circulator. We have had great success with the SB1250 units in our other small park ponds as well."

Compliance In A Month –FJ, Louisiana

"The Medora SN-15 system is definitely doing what it was supposed to do because it got our system into compliance within a month of being installed and we are very happy about that."

Remarkable Engineering –DD, California

"We removed a stick from the SB5000 impeller,and once it was removed the unit went right back to working flawlessly. That was remarkable and a credit to engineering of the SolarBees. Most motors would have burned themselves out. The SolarBee went back to doing what it was designed to do."

Fast Response –MC, California

"We loved the fast response. Installation was quick and easy."

Carbon Savings –RC, Colorado

"Before the SB we would see geosmin spikes in the 30-90 ng/L range during July-August, and 20-30 ng/L from Nov to Jan. We like to keep concentrations below 5 ng/L The highest measurement in 2009 was 8 ng/L with greatly reduced taste & odor issues, and we saved an estimated $50k in PAC savings compared to prior years. We attribute these reductions and carbon savings to the SolarBee, and are very happy with results so far."

Great To Work With –WK, South Dakota

"Your crew arrived early today. They were really great to work with."

THMs Came Down –JV, California

"We are very happy with the results of the GS-12 mixers we installed, one in each of our 600,000 gallon tanks. We previously had high THMs in these tanks. The THMs came down considerably and we are very happy with the results."

We've Cut Down On Chlorine –MC, California

"Our city has seen improved residual since installing the GS-12s in both of our 3 MG potable tanks. The residual has improved from 0.2 mg/l to 0.8 mg/l. Due to the higher residual amounts we have cut back on their chlorine usage at the treatment plant. We will be looking at purchasing additional GS-12s in the future too for his other tanks."

No Icing Problems –SC, Michigan

"Our tower is too small to lower the level much during the winter. Because we use the height of the water for pressure, we need to keep it as full as possible. Plus, lowering the water level compromised fire flow capacity. As a result, ice cakes were formed in the tank every winter. After installing the GS-12 mixer, I was able to keep the tank full during the winter with no icing problems."

Best Purchase –RN, California

"SolarBees are one of our best purchases in the past 20 years!"

Professional & Informative –DN, Texas

Consistent Levels Of CL Residual –SC, Michigan

“The levels of chlorine residual have become more consistent after installing the GS-12 mixer. I was having differing chlorine residuals before I started mixing, but now it’s been even out in the system. One sample I pull from a dead end has maintained a real even residual.”
