Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Impressed With Service Level –PW, Ohio

"The SolarBee is working great! We are impressed with the level of service; you don't just install the units and forget about them."

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."

I Learned A Lot! -JM, Texas

"Thank you for all the help you and your whole company have provided over the last couple of years! I learned a lot from SolarBee/Medora Co!"

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."

Wonderful Service & Support –DH, Louisiana

"SolarBee has provided wonderful service and support. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with such professionals."

Less Copper Usage –CK, New Mexico

"We are pleased with the operation and performance of the SolarBee. We use substantially less copper sulfate since its installation. High doses of copper sulfate are detrimental to fish population--we no longer have this problem."

OUTSTANDING Customer Service –VK, California

"Your staff and company has earned a HUGE GOLD STAR from our community and me for the OUTSTANDING customer service that you have provided to us. To me it feels like you think our community is your number ONE customer."

Reduced Algae Blooms –DF, Oregon

"Our algae blooms are greatly reduced. Our pH has increased in stability and we are able to discharge much more of the time. Odors are greatly reduced, especially when we have a spring thaw."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

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

Working With Customers Builds Relationships –JP, North Carolina

"I appreciate the way Medora works with customers. I have previously worked in sales and marketing with XXXXXXXX, and they were not this smart. Your company recognizes that working with customers builds long term customer relationships. If we get this working, we would be willing to put a paper/presentation together about it for WEF or Watereuse Association."

Ponds Working Better Than Ever –MS, California

"The system is working great/purring along. We are very happy with the sludge reduction, and we are also seeing the DO continue to come up in the ponds. The ponds appear to be working better than they ever have."

Pleased With SolarBee Results –RF, Colorado

Tremendous Impact –AC, California

"The ponds are green and healthy. They have not iced over all winter. The SolarBees have had a tremendous impact on these ponds!"

These units don't miss a beat! -PK, Vermont

“We reduced our aerators from 17 to nine and are thinking about getting another circulator for our third lagoon. We’ve had very good success, and they are very low-maintenance. Even during the winter, these units don’t miss a beat.”

Not Possible Without SolarBee –AW, California

"Our conversion to chloramine would not have been possible without SolarBees."

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."

Efficient & Professional –RR, Arizona

"SolarBee is one of the most efficient professional groups we have ever worked with."

Vast Reduction In Algae –SG, Arizona

"The SolarBee units are working very well. We have seen a vast reduction in the amount of algae that was inundating the ponds and plugging screens and pumps. No complaints, only positive results!"

"The GS-12 is doing a great job keeping the ice off our 420,000 gallon tank."

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!"

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."

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."

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."

"We are pleased and everything is going well. We have not had to use copper sulfate since the SolarBee was installed!"

Remarkable Engineering –DD, California

"We removed a stick from the SB5000 impeller,and once it was removed the unit went right back to working flawlessly. That was remarkable and a credit to engineering of the SolarBees. Most motors would have burned themselves out. The SolarBee went back to doing what it was designed to do."

Energy Savings & Odor Free –RF, California

"Our energy savings were initially a couple of thousand dollars per month. We have approximately 500 HP of aeration available which was running full time prior to SolarBee.

Thanks for a job well done! -SG, New York

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you and the crew at Medora. You guys have been very responsive to our many requests and questions. In addition your field crew did a great job installing the mixer. It was impressive to see how careful they were protecting the equipment and materials they hoisted to the top of the tank so they didn't scratch the paint. Thanks again for a job well done."

Started Working in 3 Hours –DW, New York

"We installed a SB1250V12PW in our 500,000 gal water tank. We positioned the SolarBee in a stagnant area of tank, opposite the common inlet/outlet pipe. After 3 hours of SolarBee operation we took a water sample at a nearby business that receives its water from this tank. The chlorine read 0.7. In the all the years that I have worked for the city, I have never seen it above 0.2. It must be the SolarBee already mixing the stagnant water in the tank."

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

"I know I can rely on Medora Corporation. Their attention to engineering detail is exceptional. We can really see the time and effort they took in developing their GridBee THM reduction unit. Nobody else on the market thinks about these things; it's well beyond what anyone else would have done."

"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."
