Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

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."

Impressive Professionalism –TB, Tennessee

"We were very impressed and enjoyed being able to view the installation first hand. I wanted to send my appreciation to your installation crew who were on site during the installation. They were good representatives for your company. Their professionalism on site was impressive."

Chlorine Usage Dropped 50% –RN,California

"The amount of chlorine usage for the recycled water tanks dropped 50% after the installation of the SolarBees."

$15,000 Electric Cost Decrease –RF, California

"The SolarBees are great. We saw a $15,000 decrease in our electric costs in January with the SolarBees operating!"

Great Customer Service Skills! -QJ, California

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

Great Employees –DW, New York

"I don't know where you find employees like the ones who have visited our Lake over the past two years, but, what ever it takes, I would keep them!"

1.5 Years With No Algae Problems –MD, Washington

"Over the last 1.5 years there has not been a blue green algae problem, when before it was a routine problem. The city operator said that if the SolarBees didn't work, he didn't know what else to do except resign." He didn't.

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."

A Job Well Done -AB, New Jersey

"I would like to offer my thanks for the job well done by your team. Despite the limitations placed on them by our Covid-19 precautions, they cooperated fully, and with professionalism."

Best Safety Procedures –RQ, Nevada

"SolarBee has the best installation and safety procedures in place of any vendor we have ever seen. Your crews are way above any vendor! We are very happy with the SolarBee units. Your technology is ahead of everyone." This comments reflects on some 20 installations in this area.

Wish All Vendors Were Like SolarBee –SP, California

"We wish all of our vendors would be like SolarBee."

Substantial Energy Savings –AC, Connecticut

"We are very satisfied with the SolarBee mixing in our tanks. We have experienced substantial energy savings by going with green technology that SolarBee has provided."

Very Happy –JS, California

"We are very happy with the SolarBee in our lake. We have not had to run the pumps to get circulation all summer long"

We've Cut Down On Costs –PK, Vermont

"The SolarBee unit we've had in operation since last year has allowed us to cut down on power significantly and even more importantly cut down on service costs to keep operational the surface aerators/aspirators we previous relied on completely. Your factory service and support was the main reason we went with SolarBee instead of Aeromix."

The Crew Is Unmatched –TC, Pennsylvania

"The Crew's attitude toward their job, your product and your company is unmatched. The whole operation from start to finish was professional, educational, and fun. It is very rare to find all those ingredients all on the same project."

No Algae Blooms –KM, California

"We have had Solarbees for 4 years in our lake, and I am happy to report that we have not had an algae bloom since they have been installed."

Very Impressed –JS, Pennsylvania

"Installation yesterday went great. We were very impressed with the SolarBee employees during the installation."

Pleased With Product and Service –JA, California

"I am very pleased with your responsiveness. My hat is off to your company. I knew you had a good product, but now I know your service is even better. You really hit this one out of the ball park!"

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

"We are impressed with the level of service provided by SolarBee for this mixer in our potable tank. We also have three competitive units in our lake and they have been nothing but trouble. We wish we had SolarBees in our lake, too!"

Less Than Three Year Payback –JN, Georgia

"We based everything on a conservative assumption for a 50% reduction in chemicals used to treat the BGA and associated T&O. At a 50% reduction we looked at a 8 year payback. In reality, we were very surprised by being able to reduce the chemicals by 90% which gave us less then a 3 year payback. This is not the norm for the water treatment industry. Usually we look at 10, 15, or 20 year returns on investments. Solar Bees is one of those products that does exactly what we needed it to do and what the engineers at Medora said they would do. It out-performed everyone in our organization's expectations."

Clear Enough To See The Bottom –JC, Oregon

"This is the first summer in quite a few years that I have been able to take my kids swimming up here. Normally at this time of the year there are green balls of gunk floating around. The shoreline is pretty clean this summer. In the past the lake had stinking moss on the edges and now the water is clear enough that I am able to see the bottom off the dock."

Down To 182Hp/day –AK, Oregon

"Right now we are down to an average of 182Hp/day. Our baseline when the project started was 568Hp/day. The initial estimates were for a reduction of 35.2% and we are down 68%. We started reducing aeration and by Oct. 2010 we were at 330/day. By July 2011 we were at 214/day and now we are at about as low as we want to go."

Wonderful & Efficient- GT, Alaska

"The SolarBee is performing wonderfully and efficiently. Thank you for your assistance with your great product."

Cost & Chemical Savings! –JN, Georgia

"Solar Bees have completely eliminated our need for Algaecide application in the lake and has lowered our PAC (powdered activated carbon) usage by at least 75% This has truly been a tangible cost savings. Direct chemical savings from the Solar Bees have been over $250,000 this first full year cycle. Customer support and service have been superb. Top notch in that area. These are very well built, well designed, robust pieces of equipment. Our expectations have been met. Yes, I am a fan of Solar Bees. They simply work. "

"Medora is the greatest to work with. Love it"

Reduced Algae Blooms –DF, Oregon

Happy To Be A Reference –GC, Arkansas

" If you ever want to use us as a reference, I would be happy to talk with anyone of our customers. Last year around January/February we were seeing 40-50ug/L (THM readings), this year we are seeing 20-30ug/L. The real test will be known this summer. But, as soon as our larger tank is built, we intend to put another THM System in it as well. We are very happy with Medora Corporation and the SolarBee Performance!"

We Are Tickled Pink –MO, California

Energy Savings & Odor Free –RF, California

"Our energy savings were initially a couple of thousand dollars per month. We have approximately 500 HP of aeration available which was running full time prior to SolarBee. Currently it is running about half of the time. The odors in cells 1 & 2 are down and last winter they were "odor free". SolarBee service is A-1."

Good People -RM, New York

Totally Resolved Problems –DC, Minnesota

Improved Water In 3 Hours –FW, New York

"Just three hours after installation, we saw improvement in our water."

Extra Steps To Make Customers Happy –LC, New Hampshire

"The ponds are doing very well. None of the ponds have gone sour since the SolarBees were installed, which is pretty incredible!"

Even Temperature –KK, California

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."

Happy & Impressed –GL, California

Dramatic Decrease -PD, Massachusetts

Greatly Improved -DS, Colorado

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

"You're service Techs are top notch. Please relay my thanks."

SolarBees Working Flawlessly –DC, California

"We have 4 SolarBees in our potable tanks. Our potable water system has a 30 MG storage capacity, but we could only utilize about 5 MG prior to the SolarBees.
