Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

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."

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

“We reduced our aerators from 17 to nine and are thinking about getting another circulator for our third lagoon. We’ve had very good success, and they are very low-maintenance. Even during the winter, these units don’t miss a beat.”

Gratitude For A Job Well Done -JL, Nevada

"We wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the professionalism of your SolarBee installation crew. They showed up on time every day, had all the necessary safety equipment with them, a disinfection plan, and worked hard each day in the intense heat."

Thanks! –SE, Florida

Freshest Water –GD, California

"SolarBee's in our lakes and water tanks puts the freshest water in our glasses."

Everything Is Functioning Properly –JO, Oregon

"Our GS-12 submersible mixer installation went very smoothly. Everything is functioning properly and we are very happy with the installation."

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

"I know I can rely on Medora Corporation. Their attention to engineering detail is exceptional. We can really see the time and effort they took in developing their GridBee THM reduction unit. Nobody else on the market thinks about these things; it's well beyond what anyone else would have done."

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."

Haven't Added Copper –KC, Arkansas

Thanks to all that made this project a success!"

Glowing Report -MS, Vermont

Good DO –JH, Louisiana

"Last year we went out a few times during the heat of the summer and found good DO and other parameters to the exact depths that the SolarBee intake was set to, and we haven't had a recurrence of hypertrophy since installation. Proof enough!"

Happy Neighbors –JS, Massachusetts

"We sent you a recent picture. The rainbow didn't quite end at the SolarBee, but it was close. In the meantime we have had excellent water quality this year--so far better than any recent year for mid-July. Lots of happy neighbors."

Consistent Levels Of CL Residual –SC, Michigan

“The levels of chlorine residual have become more consistent after installing the GS-12 mixer. I was having differing chlorine residuals before I started mixing, but now it’s been even out in the system. One sample I pull from a dead end has maintained a real even residual.”

Clearest Water –OC, California

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

Smells Like Spring Instead Not Odors –CN, South Dakota

"Every spring, for several weeks, odors would roll over the whole town. So, we installed SolarBee mixers in our ponds. Now, residents can look forward to smelling spring in the air instead of the treatment plant. We don't notice anything in the spring anymore."

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!"

Substantial Savings –RP, Pennsylvania

Very Impressed –CV, Tennessee

"We attended the SolarBee installation and were very impressed. We enjoyed being able to view the installation first hand. We appreciated the SolarBee employees who were on hand during the installation. They were very helpful and good representatives of SolarBee. Their professionalism on site was impressive and we cannot thank them enough for making our experience a pleasurable one."

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."

Improvements Are Substantial –ES, Colorado

Hard Working Crew –JL, Wisconsin

"Your service crew are hard workers. Their knowledge in repairing the SolarBees was excellent. They are a valuable asset to SolarBee and to their customers."

No More Algae OR Copper –KC, Arkansas

"We haven't had an algae bloom or had to add copper sulfate since the SolarBees were installed. We were adding 600-700 lbs of copper sulfate per week from June through September!"

Pretty Incredible –RL, California

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

Water Clarity Is 8 ft –MW, California

"The water clarity is 8 ft; that's awesome! We would be happy to serve as a positive reference for SolarBee."

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."

Best Purchase Ever –RS, Michigan

"This is our third year that we have not had to add chemicals to reduce our phosphorous levels. The SolarBees continue to run without missing a day of run time year around. It is probably the best purchase the city has ever made!"

Successful Installation -RM, New York

"Everyone I have worked with has been knowledgeable, friendly, professional and confident with their expertise of your products. I look forward to working with you again."

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!"

Removed A Scum Layer –S, Arkansas

"This is our first AP500 installation. In 6 hours it has almost completely removed a foot thick scum layer. When we attempted to lower the unit through the scum, it wouldn't go through. It rested on top. The only way to get it down was to turn it on and let it work itself down. We are impressed."
