Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Reduced THMs –JL, Nevada

"The SB10000PWv18 mixer has greatly helped to reduce our THMs just with mixing so we are very happy with the benefits of the large machine."

Substantial Savings –RP, Pennsylvania

"Our constant discharge effluent into a stream is the cleanest it has ever been. Our state no longer requires water samples on the weekends like we had to do before installation of the SolarBees. We have seen substantial savings in electrical energy costs since the SolarBee installation."

Appreciat Customer Service –JC, Illinois

"We really appreciate your customer service!"

Friendly Crew –TR, Kansas

"Wanted to let you know that all the guys that did the installation were the friendliest and most knowledgeable group of guys that we've been around. Wish everyone we worked with was that easy to get along with."

The Heat Is On -ND, Pennsylvania

"The tank heater we installed is running good and keeping the tank temperature above freezing."

Flawless Operation -LR, Arizona

"[The potable tank] Mixer is operating flawlessly."

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."

Thanks for a great job! -SD, California

"I am writing to say thanks very much to you and your team of SolarBee Service Technicians for doing a great job... Everyone who loves our lake greatly appreciates your team's successful efforts!"

Pleased With The Bees- JB, Colorado

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."

We Are Very Happy –RP, Colorado

"The south pond was running 4 days before we got the North pond running and in that time we evaporated 0.75" in the North Pond and 1.75" in the South Pond. In each pond that equates to 27 truck loads of 4365 gallons = 117,855 gallons. We are very happy at this time !!

Your System Works –KR, Arizona

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. "

Amazing Team -GH, California

Increased Wildlife –NP, New York

Everyone Is Very Professional –KT, California

Like An Aquarium –DB, California

"We now have the cleanest and best looking water I have ever seen in the lake! It is like an aquarium."

Even Temperature –KK, California

Excellent Customer Service -CM, Colorado

"Thank you for the excellent customer service. We will continue to utilize Medora Co. product and need to speak with someone regarding SolarBee mixing units for a new reservoir that will come online this summer."

Started Working in 3 Hours –DW, New York

"We installed a SB1250V12PW in our 500,000 gal water tank. We positioned the SolarBee in a stagnant area of tank, opposite the common inlet/outlet pipe. After 3 hours of SolarBee operation we took a water sample at a nearby business that receives its water from this tank. The chlorine read 0.7. In the all the years that I have worked for the city, I have never seen it above 0.2. It must be the SolarBee already mixing the stagnant water in the tank."

The SolarBees Have Served Us Well! -SG, Arizona

"We appreciate the courtesy service on the SolarBee's. The units have served us well since they were put into service, with only minor maintenance required."

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."

Working Excellent -SG, Arizona

"Our [SolarBee] units are working excellent in our effluent storage basins."

Very Happy With Medora Corporation –SL, California

"We are very happy with your company. Everybody is friendly, informative, and we really enjoy working with you."

Turned Off Our Aerators –DC, California

"We have the best water quality I've ever seen and we've been able to turn off our aerators."

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 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."

Excellent Water Clarity –JS, Massachusets

"We have excellent water clarity this year - so far better than any recent year for mid-July. There are lots of happy neighbors."
