Over 30 SolarBees –MH, California

"We have NOT had any Taste & Odor events this year, so far! MIB and Geosmin have been non-detectable."

BeeKeeper, A Great Deal –DG, New Hampshire

"We really like our SolarBee, your company and the BeeKeeper (maintenance and service plan). The BeeKeeper costs $8k per year and is saving $120k per year on power. This is a great deal! We used to pay more than $8k per year maintaining blowers. We have not run our blowers for several years."

Dedicated Organization –GH, California

"We truly appreciate your commitment and assistance in helping us resolve the lake water quality issues and it has been extremely refreshing and encouraging in working with an organization that is so dedicated to achieve that goal."

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."

Eternally Grateful –RL, California

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

Pleased With SolarBee Results –RF, Colorado
