Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Cleanest & Best Looking Water –DB, California

"I stopped by the lake yesterday and went around the whole lake looking and some fishing - mostly looking. The water visibility is 10', the cleanest and best looking water I have ever seen in the lake! It was like an aquarium. It always gets clear this time of year, but not clean and healthy like now."

Best Year For Algae Control –GM, Colorado

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

Excellent Support! -BB, Florida

"Thank you for your excellent support!"

Pleased With SolarBee Results –RF, Colorado

"There was some ice in the tank this year but it didn't completely freeze like it had before the SolarBee was installed. It was a very cold winter; coldest it has been in a very long time. We are pleased with the results of the SolarBee."

Best Company To Work With –TG, Colorado

"SolarBee is one of the best companies we have ever worked with!"

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.”

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.

Appreciative For The Help- LV, Wisconsin

"I appreciate the time you've taken and your company's willingness to stand behind its product. It's one of the reasons I recommend your mixers to others."

Tested SolarBee Thouroughly –GC, California

"We like the way the SolarBee is working as far as results go. We have tested the SolarBee thoroughly for about two months and find that it is working as as you predicted it would."

Amazing To Look At –MY, New York

Regarding SolarBee's impact on biofilm on the tank interior: "The tank is empty now and they are cleaning as we speak. The sides of the tank are very clean and we are down to about 1/2 to 1 inch of debris in the bottom. It is amazing to look at what is in the tank now, compared to what was there pre-SolarBee. "

Doing Great! -TN, Colorado

"The AP500 lift station mixer is doing a great job. The grease crust is gone and the water is crystal clear!"

Lots Of Positive Comments –JE, Illinois

"The SolarBee is working good and it functions continuously without stopping. We get a lot of positive comments and questions."

Thank You For The Hard Work –AP, Ohio

"Just wanted to share with you our current THM results. Since installing the spray system our results always run below 70 ppb and most of the time around 50 ppb. Also, just want to say again, thank you, for the hard work all of you have provided NB in solving our THM troubles."

Positive Impacts –PH, California

"We are very pleased with SolarBees and their positive impacts on our water system storage facilities. We are very happy with your service."

65% Energy Savings –DS, Pennsylvania

"We are happy with the SolarBees performance. We have experienced a 65% energy savings and have not had any violations since the SolarBees have been installed. We are considering future purchases from SolarBee."

Unmatched Dedication –JH, Louisiana

"We haven't had a recurrence of hypertrophy since installation! The dedication to your product, and more importantly your customers, is absolutely unmatched by any service provider that I have dealt with in my professional career."

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."

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

"Thanks to the crew. We are very pleased with the pond. All chemical treatment was stopped just before the machine was installed and it looks great. There is growing awareness here about the problem of copper accumulation from BGA treatment and someday the SolarBees may get their due here."

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."

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."

Very Happy –DM, California

"We are very happy with the performance of the SolarBee in our tank. We would be happy to serve as a positive reference for both SolarBee performance and service."

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."

GREAT Service -GP, Ohio

"This is a GREAT service your company provides, customer service and follow-up is hard to find now a days. Please pass our THANK YOU on to your crew, we really do appreciate it."

Working Great! -JH, Idaho

Many Thanks –RR, Nevada

"As I mentioned over the telephone today, I want to thank you for the work completed by your crew at our water treatment plant storage tank. The new float system for the sprayer is much appreciated along with the time and effort put into the transfer of the control box for the mixer. Please let the crew know that I appreciate their work. Many thanks to the folks at Solar Bee!"

Great Results! –JL, Georgia

"We performed a temperature profile 3 weeks after the installation of the SolarBee. The water temperature difference was one tenth of a degree Celsius throughout entire tank (24.1 degree C top, 24.0 degree C bottom). Great results."

Good Quality Even At Low Levels –DL, California

"We have had very good water quality even with low levels. We have had very good deep DO which we never had before. We are very happy with the SolarBee installations."

Can't Say Enough –VK, California

"We can't SAY ENOUGH about your team and your company. Now, if I could only put the rest of my 60+ pumps and another 60+ motors on SolarBees, life would be great. Thanks so much for the OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!"

Best Water In 12 Years! –VK, Oregon

"The Solar Bees must be working! This is the best the water has looked since I started working here, and that's about 12 years."

Very Happy –TC, California

"Our operators are very happy with the six SolarBees installed for the county this summer! They have not had to boost since the installation. They cannot believe it! In the past they have had to boost every 1-2 weeks."

Amazing Job -RR, Saskatchewan

"Just wanted you to know that the Unit is doing an amazing job. There is no comparison with the clarity of the water at the same time last year."

Outstanding! -GB, Colorado

SolarBees Are Working Great –DC, Kansas

"The SolarBee machines are working really great, they have never gone out of compliance. We also like that we have a service contract because the crews check on the units and the contract extends the warranty at the same time."

Built Too Well! –DM, North Carolina

"These Solarbee units just run. You built them too well!"

Highly Professional Crew –RP, Oregon

"Your crew was highly professional and very proficient with safety issues during the install. The City crew learned a lot about safety issues that they incorporated into their practices. "

Surprised & Amazed -CJ, Minnesota

"To say I am surprised that there was no ice in the three tanks would be an understatement. And the fact we removed virtually all the ice from an iced over tank in three days of running is amazing."

Want To Buy More –DR, California

"We have nothing but good things to say about the SolarBees in our lake. This is our 4th unit and we want to buy more."

Best Purchase Ever –RS, Michigan

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."

Exemplary Service -JB, Oklahoma

Commitment To Service -JC, Arkansas

"Medora's commitment to provide a high level of service at a reasonable price is very commendable. We very much appreciate it!"

The Sludge Blanket Is Gone –JW, CA

Happy With SolarBee –KH, Illinois

"As local residents we would like to comment on the good water quality. We are happy with the SolarBee performance."

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."

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!"

Chlorine Usage Dropped 50% –RN,California
