Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Improved Overall Water Quality –JE, Colorado

"The SolarBee is working well with no apparent issues....We believe the overall water quality of the reservoir has improved (much better clarity and less algae) since the addition of the SolarBee."

Very Satisfied -SS, California

"Overall we have been very satisfied especially with your customer service!"

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."

Extra Steps To Make Customers Happy –LC, New Hampshire

"We have never had a crew onsite that are the caliber of these men. They are not only professional but take extra steps to make sure the customer is happy. They have great attitudes, work ethic and politeness."

D.D.. Washington

"Awesome and perfect. There have been no water quality issues all summer."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

"Thank you. Your thorough service and your continued interest in our SolarBee project is top shelf!"

High Quality –RG, Oregon

"The SolarBee unit performed remarkably. The high quality, professional SolarBee staff was great."

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."

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 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.

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."

Great Crew –MD, Washington

"Thanks for sending a crew to fix our problems. They did a great job. Everything has been fixed and we appreciate their efforts. They weren't going to quit until they got it done. At a time when we are normally starting to show algae, there virtually has been none. We've had the SolarBee units for a year and a half and have experienced no algae. Your customer service has been great. Your crew did a great job."

Happy & Impressed –GL, California

"We are very happy and impressed with SolarBee. They have completely turned around one of our worst tanks."

No Blue Green Algae Problems –LP, Utah

"Blue green algae growth is no longer a problem since the SolarBee was installed! Our secchi depth is at 18 ft."

No Algae Issues Ever Since -NW, Oregon

"I was the Public Works Director during a time when we had a bad algae bloom in our raw water reservoir. After a few years of chemical treatment, we purchased a SolarBee circulator and have had no issues ever since."

Eternally Grateful –RL, California

"Our reservoir has two SolarBees which seem to be solving our dimethyl mercury problem. I am eternally grateful."

Complete Mixing –JM, California

"We have found that we have complete mixing inside the tank after approximately 36 hours. That is with the reservoir filled to 20 feet which equates to 7.4 million gallons of water. We are very happy with the SolarBee results."

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. We were always trying to deep cycle, but were limited due to poor water quality. After the SolarBees were installed they doubled and tripled the use of our system. The SolarBees have been working flawlessly."

Amazing Impact –JB, California

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."

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."

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.

Clearest Water –OC, California

"The lake water is the clearest it has been in eight years."

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

Did Not Cut Corners –LT, Arizona

No Ice In Cold Winter –IG, Michigan

"Photos were taken from Lyons, MI. We put the GS-12 in last year. They wanted to see what the inside was like so we climbed up there Wednesday and took a look. The results- – no ice!!!!
