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.

Good Customer Service –JM, Vermont

"Not only does your company have fine products, but every person we deal with at your company does a great job! Good customer service is a rarity these days, and it’s not often that you find a sales representative to drive for hours and then use his musical talents to help raise the money to pay off a product that we bought from him! I’m glad that we have all become friends in the process."

Rare To Find This Level Of Support –CG, Michigan

"It's rare to find the product support and level of customer service provided by SolarBee."

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!"

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."

Dedicated Crew –PS, Massachusetts

"Thanks to the installation crew for their dedicated work Tuesday! They were very professional, knowledgeable about the equipment and its operation, and a pleasure to work with.
