More Zooplankton –DB, California

"Excellent! I am seeing more zooplankton than ever before. In the past we have had clear water this time of year - but it was due to a blue algae die off and the fish were skinny. There was no zooplankton - very unhealthy. We would also be subject to severe filament algae blooms. This does not occur anymore - we have clean water that is healthy and the fish are flourishing!"

Did Not Cut Corners –LT, Arizona

"Just would like to say that your field service techs did all the work that they were supposed to and did not cut any corners. They also went above and beyond by making repairs that were damaged and it really is hard to find good employees that are like that these days so I wanted to tell them thank you when they left before I had the chance to tell them in person."

Mixing Does Wonders -BT, Iowa

"Since its installation, this mixer has done wonders to help maintain a consistent chlorine residual with-in this 7 million gallon reservoir. Design of this reservoir was such that the inlet/outlet shared a common entry and exit point that left undesirable low residual counts in many areas of the reservoir. The SB5000 has greatly increased the mixing action within the reservoir and now consistent chlorine residuals can be obtained through out testing areas all around. Since its install, very little maintenance was needed and this unit has worked almost flawlessly."

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.

The SolarBees have been working flawlessly."

These units don't miss a beat! -PK, Vermont

No More Odors –OT, California

"We are extremely happy with the performance of the (2) AP7000s in our clarifier at the potable water treatment plant. There is no longer any "fishy smell" or bad odors during the back washing of the filters. We feel we may have less taste & odor events in the future because of the AP mixers."

He spent considerable time on the phone helping us understand Medora’s scope of supply, conveying what we needed to do to prepare for Medora’s delivery, and also discussing options for installation. He followed up our call with clear, concise drawings and written instructions. His efforts are appreciated. Thank you and best regards..."

Gratitude For Crew –JL, Nevada
