We Are Happy -RR, Minnesota

We've Cut Down On Chlorine –MC, California

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

SolarBees Working Flawlessly –DC, California

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."

"SolarBee is one of the easiest companies to work with and you go above our expectations. We are very pleased with the units and the service SolarBee provides."

Algae Reduced 50% –JS, California

"This summer the filamentous algae in our 1.3 acre, raw water storage pond was reduced to 50% surface coverage. Before the SB1250V12 was installed, the filamentous algae would normally cover about 75% of our pond's surface during peak summer months."

Greatly Improved –PV, Arkansas

Freshest Water –GD, California

"SolarBee's in our lakes and water tanks puts the freshest water in our glasses."

A God Send –LP, California

"SolarBees have been a 'God send' for this lake."

No More Algae OR Copper –KC, Arkansas

No Nitrification Problems –SA, California

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

Even Temperature –KK, California

Gold Stars Around –KN, Oregon

"The SolarBee has been running great even during these darkest days of the year. We would give SolarBee 'gold stars around.' We are particularly happy with the service we have received over the years, and would be more than happy to share our positive experience with SolarBee."

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.

Thank You For The Hard Work –AP, Ohio

"Just wanted to share with you our current THM results. Since installing the spray system our results always run below 70 ppb and most of the time around 50 ppb. Also, just want to say again, thank you, for the hard work all of you have provided NB in solving our THM troubles."

We've Cut Down On Costs –PK, Vermont

"The SolarBee unit we've had in operation since last year has allowed us to cut down on power significantly and even more importantly cut down on service costs to keep operational the surface aerators/aspirators we previous relied on completely. Your factory service and support was the main reason we went with SolarBee instead of Aeromix."

The City Is Pleased –AM, New York

"We presented the data to the Board last week and the City is very pleased with the results of the GS-12. You will be very pleased when we send the data."

Great Job Circulating –BW, Illinois

"The SolarBees are doing a great job of circulating the water and eliminating the thermocline!"

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."

Amazed –SM, Colorado

"We are amazed how clean the water is. At the beginning we hoped the SolarBees would "kinda work", but we test the lakes all the time and it proves they really do the job. "

Great Crew –MD, Washington

"Thanks for sending a crew to fix our problems. They did a great job. Everything has been fixed and we appreciate their efforts. They weren't going to quit until they got it done. At a time when we are normally starting to show algae, there virtually has been none. We've had the SolarBee units for a year and a half and have experienced no algae. Your customer service has been great. Your crew did a great job."

Best Purchase Ever –RS, Michigan

"This is our third year that we have not had to add chemicals to reduce our phosphorous levels. The SolarBees continue to run without missing a day of run time year around. It is probably the best purchase the city has ever made!"

It's Been A Pleasure -DH, Florida

"Your company has consistently been a pleasure to deal with which is welcome change from the norm."

Reduced THMs By 50% –RS, Colorado

"Our THM’s are 50% of what they were prior to the SolarBee installation. We have not had any ice issues and there are other improvements."

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."
