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."

Commitment To Service -JC, Arkansas

Happy To Be A Reference –GC, Arkansas

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!"

Ordering Another SolarBee –TM, Alberta Canada

"We are happy with the results in this holding pond. The water quality is much improved since the SolarBee was installed. Because of these results we are ordering a SolarBee for one of our other lakes."

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."

Great Customer Service Skills! -QJ, California

"I very much appreciate the expedient service we received...great customer service skills!"

Impressive Professionalism –TB, Tennessee

Energy Savings & Odor Free –RF, California

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

Your System Works –KR, Arizona
