Cyanobacteria counts are reduced substantially, and microcystin counts are less than 1 ppb. Residents are saying that there are no odors (Unlike before). Elderly residents are saying they are pleased to see their grand-kids swim in a lake that was as good as when they were children."

No complaints! -PM, Colorado

"The SolarBees are performing well. No complaints! Thanks for checking in with us."

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."

Well Mixed & No Nitrification –MO, California

"Our SolarBees are working great. Our water sampling shows the water is well mixed with no nitrification."

Did Not Cut Corners –LT, Arizona

"Just would like to say that your field service techs did all the work that they were supposed to and did not cut any corners. They also went above and beyond by making repairs that were damaged and it really is hard to find good employees that are like that these days so I wanted to tell them thank you when they left before I had the chance to tell them in person."

No More Stink -NK, New Mexico

"The [wastewater] ponds don’t stink anymore.”

Very Satisfied –ML, California

Increased Oxygen & Less Odor –JS, Colorado

"We love what our SolarBees have done to the lake! The oxygen levels have increased substantially, and the odors are mostly gone."

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

"The unit has been running for approximately one month. The unit was very simple to install. It is keeping everything in suspension and the pumps aren't clogging. We are extremely happy with the AP500 and are going to order a second one."

100% Satisfied –AC, West Virgina

"We are 100% satisfied with the service provided by SolarBee and are impressed with how they went the extra mile."

Good Service –JM, Colorado

"Thanks for having the crew out. The service was not nearly as easy as the report makes it sound. I really appreciate the good service and please pass my appreciation on to the crew."

Increased DO –JB, Texas

"SolarBee greatly increased DO throughout the reservoir. There have been major increases in wildlife in the area as the water is much more habitable now. We've completely stopped using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our treatment plant. Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and the plant. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years."

No Algae Issues Ever Since -NW, Oregon

"I was the Public Works Director during a time when we had a bad algae bloom in our raw water reservoir. After a few years of chemical treatment, we purchased a SolarBee circulator and have had no issues ever since."

THM Reduction Is Excellent! -DC,New York

"Attached is the Town’s most recent DBP results for the water tower. As you can see, the TTHM reduction is excellent and has brought the Town back into compliance after just one quarter of testing."

A Job Well Done -GA, Texas

"Just wanted so say thanks to you and IXOM for job well done on installing our secondary system. You have got a very professional crew."

Tested SolarBee Thouroughly –GC, California

"We like the way the SolarBee is working as far as results go. We have tested the SolarBee thoroughly for about two months and find that it is working as as you predicted it would."

Dramatic Increase In Lake Clarity –CS, California

"We are very pleased with the SolarBees. We have seen a dramatic increase in lake clarity during the winter months."

Reduced Organics & THMs –KJ, California

"We are very happy with all of the SolarBee equipment in the raw water reservoir and in our potable tanks. The mixing has helped reduce organics in the reservoir and helped to reduce THMs in the tanks." There were more than 11 different installations in the water system for this community.

Friendly Crew –TR, Kansas

"Wanted to let you know that all the guys that did the installation were the friendliest and most knowledgeable group of guys that we've been around. Wish everyone we worked with was that easy to get along with."

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!"

Water Clarity Record –SDA, California

"Most notably, I measured a new record water clarity level in our Lake of 25' on Friday, September 25th, 2015."

Like An Aquarium –DB, California

"We now have the cleanest and best looking water I have ever seen in the lake! It is like an aquarium."

Keeping Ice Off –BK, Arkansas

Improvements Across The Board –HR, California

Great Employees –DW, New York

"I don't know where you find employees like the ones who have visited our Lake over the past two years, but, what ever it takes, I would keep them!"

Water Quality Is Great –VS, California

"We love our SolarBees! The copper sulfate we bought is just rotting away sitting on the pallets. Water quality is great!"

Very Helpful –DR, Illinois

"We are very happy with the service since the SolarBee installation. They will stop to check your units anytime they are in your area. They did upgrades at no cost, and have been very helpful in moving the units when needed to get better results. We have budgeted for a SolarBee for our elevated tower."

Less Than Three Year Payback –JN, Georgia

"We based everything on a conservative assumption for a 50% reduction in chemicals used to treat the BGA and associated T&O. At a 50% reduction we looked at a 8 year payback. In reality, we were very surprised by being able to reduce the chemicals by 90% which gave us less then a 3 year payback. This is not the norm for the water treatment industry. Usually we look at 10, 15, or 20 year returns on investments. Solar Bees is one of those products that does exactly what we needed it to do and what the engineers at Medora said they would do. It out-performed everyone in our organization's expectations."

Extra Steps To Make Customers Happy –LC, New Hampshire

"We have never had a crew onsite that are the caliber of these men. They are not only professional but take extra steps to make sure the customer is happy. They have great attitudes, work ethic and politeness."

Compliance In A Month –FJ, Louisiana

"The Medora SN-15 system is definitely doing what it was supposed to do because it got our system into compliance within a month of being installed and we are very happy about that."

Excellent Water Clarity –JS, Massachusets

"We have excellent water clarity this year - so far better than any recent year for mid-July. There are lots of happy neighbors."

Never Been More Clear –DE, Alberta Canada

"We were just out at the Lake and it has not ever been more clear. We can see the bottom at the end of the dock. In the past few years it has gone a little cloudy by now. I am very excited about this. .....it is all the result of the SolarBees and the addition of the 2nd SolarBee this year has definitely had a positive impact. Thanks again for your ongoing help and support."

Commitment To Service -JC, Arkansas

"Medora's commitment to provide a high level of service at a reasonable price is very commendable. We very much appreciate it!"

SolarBees Are Working Great –DC, Kansas

"The SolarBee machines are working really great, they have never gone out of compliance. We also like that we have a service contract because the crews check on the units and the contract extends the warranty at the same time."

Fast Response –MC, California

"We loved the fast response. Installation was quick and easy."

Consistent Water Quality –SG, Iowa

"With the SolarBees, our water quality has been consistent and the turbidity has dropped from 20 NTUs to 7-10 NTUs."

HUGE Improvement In Water –TA, Illinois

"The newer GridBee unit is up and running and is making a HUGE improvement in our water! Thanks for all of your help."

Decreased Chemical Usage –JB, Texas

"Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and Plant #1. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years!" We've completely gotten away from using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a gradual decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our Plant #1." I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our SolarBee that you set up at our raw water reservoir."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

"Thank you. Your thorough service and your continued interest in our SolarBee project is top shelf!"

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."

Dramatically Improved Clarity –WT, California

"In the ponds where SolarBees have been installed the water clarity has improved dramatically. We can now see 3-4 feet in depth and have experienced no odors. Evaporation rates have been enhanced dramatically as well."

Best Water Color –JD, West Virginia

"It is the best water color I have ever seen in all my years as an operator. DO is ranging from 11.O to 16.0 mg/l in all cells. We think the SolarBees will save us about $10,000 per year in electrical bills."

Very Pleased With SolarBees –NS, Florida

"We are very pleased with the SolarBees, and they are now on MASP. Your service crew does a great job. Our pond looks much better and we have been able to stop additions of acid for pH control."

Doing A Great Job! –RL, Montana

"The Solarbees are doing a great job! The lake is clear and has tested very well."

Saved Us Thousands –SS, Ohio

"The SolarBee installation in our new WWTP has worked great this year. It has saved us thousands of dollars from the alternative plan we were looking at before installing SolarBees."

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. They worked in a safe and workmanlike manner, wearing all the necessary personal protective equipment throughout the day in the hot sun when it would be easy to shed their hard hat, safety glasses or life vests to work more comfortably."

Lift Station Amazement -SE, Oklahoma

"The station is almost completely cleaned from standing debris or build up grease. This is the fastest I have ever had that much grease emulsify."

Absolutely Successful -JB, Colorado

Solved Nitrification Problems –JC, California

"The SolarBee units have solved the nitrification problems at both of our installations. We have not had to boost since installation."

We Are Thrilled With SolarBee –GC, Arkansas

"We are thrilled with the SolarBee! We were having smell issues this summer. We made a minor adjustment in July where we raised our intake by one foot while we lowered the SolarBee intake by one foot. As soon as this was done, the smell issues went away."

Drastically Reduced Algae –JS, California

"The SolarBee have drastically reduced the filamentous algae in our pond."

Not Possible Without SolarBee –AW, California

Very Impressed –MB, South Dakota

"We are very impressed with the service we receive from your company and we are very happy with our SolarBee installations."

Complete Mixing –JM, California

No Nitrification Problems –SA, California

"We have had no nitrification problems for the first time in 10 years in tank #6."

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

Summer Is Going Great! –W, Colorado

"Summer is going great! Water quality is good. We had secchi depths to the bottom in June. We are starting to get our "pond biology" back (i.e. fish, frogs...) We are very happy with the operation of the SolarBee, customer service and contact capability."

Very Impressed -DT, Florida

"I wanted to let you know that we were very impressed with the professionalism displayed by your staff who set this up in the lake."

More Zooplankton –DB, California

"Excellent! I am seeing more zooplankton than ever before. In the past we have had clear water this time of year - but it was due to a blue algae die off and the fish were skinny. There was no zooplankton - very unhealthy. We would also be subject to severe filament algae blooms. This does not occur anymore - we have clean water that is healthy and the fish are flourishing!"

AP2000 Working Great –CK, California

"The AP2000 is working great the last year, the old mixer plugged all the time with aquatic weeds but the AP2000 has been running non stop and it is affecting an area more then twice of the GridBee Pond Circulator. We have had great success with the SB1250 units in our other small park ponds as well."

THMs At Very Low Levels! -JS, California

Fishing Has Been Great! –HB, Michigan

Consistent Water Quality –SG, Iowa
