Cleared Effluent –KR, Georgia

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."

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

Phenomenal Job –IP, Texas

"The SolarBee did a phenomenal job at improving conditions. We observed not only a visual improvement in water quality but an increase in the diversity of amphibians, aquatic invertebrates, and fish populations. This leads to an increase in the use of the pond by other wildlife such as birds and mammals. These improvements also lead to a greater interest and education opportunity for the general public to learn about the benefits of improved water quality."

Reduced Algae Blooms –DF, Oregon

"Our algae blooms are much reduced. Our pH is much more stable and we are able to discharge much more of the time. Smell is much reduced, especially when we would otherwise have a a spring thaw."

A Considerable Difference –JS, Texas
