We will continue to work with our department for additional SolarBees in our additional 17 potable water tanks."

Everything Is Working Great –TR, Kansas

"We have 11 SolarBee units installed in three ponds since 2007. Everything is working great. We have not had any BOD or TSS violations since the units were installed. We are very happy with the machines and the service, and we plan to renew the Beekeeper Service Contract. "

Wish All Vendors Were Like SolarBee –SP, California

More Than Pleased -SC, Massachusetts

"We have been more than pleased with your product as well as the customer service we have received."

Your System Works –KR, Arizona

"...For only one week we turned off the GS12-48v. Immediately we had to feed more chlorine because we lost the mixing. Since then it's back online we have better mixing and less chlorine feed. Offline we fed 4 to 10 p.p.d. of chlorine. Online we fed 0 to 4 p.p.d. of chlorine. Bottom line...your system works !"

Water Clarity Has Been Great –SD, California

"I am sure you can tell from our reports that our water clarity has been great this year. We all really appreciated the nice work of your SolarBee Service Technicians when they were here servicing our units back in January. Their efforts are really paying off for us."

Dedicated Organization –GH, California

"We truly appreciate your commitment and assistance in helping us resolve the lake water quality issues and it has been extremely refreshing and encouraging in working with an organization that is so dedicated to achieve that goal."

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."

Clearest Water –OC, California

"The lake water is the clearest it has been in eight years."

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."

No Algae –MD, Washington

"We've had the units for a year and a half and no algae. Your customer service has been great. Your crew did a great job!"

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."

Conditons Are Great! –JM, California

"Reservoir conditions are great! As of last week, July 22, we were still at non detect for MIB and Geosim. Water clarity is at 6.5 meters, where last year it was 2-3 meters."

Flawless Operation -LR, Arizona

"[The potable tank] Mixer is operating flawlessly."

Outstanding! -DF, South Dakota

"I appreciate your outstanding customer service and the quality of your product!"

Impressed With Results –RY, MA.

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."

Greater Clarity –MO, California

"We saw greater clarity almost immediately."

Gratitude For A Job Well Done -JL, Nevada

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. "

Pleased With The Bees- JB, Colorado

"We are very pleased with the performance of the SolarBees up at the reservoir. It was a much easier autumn thanks to them."

Working As Advertised –MC, Washington

"We installed the GS-9 ourselves in 1 hour. Very complete kit and great instructions! The mixers are working as advertised!"

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."

Very Customer Orientated –DS, Massachusetts

"The two men involved in the installation were cordial, smart, hard working, soft spoken, and very customer orientated. In short they are a very good representation of the company!"

Good Service –JM, Colorado

Thanks For Checking –SM, Illinois

"Thanks for checking on our equipment. It says volumes about your customer service, that is so lacking from many of today's firms."

Very Impressed –JR, Colorado

"We are very impressed with the SolarBee circulators. The reservoirs are froze except around the SolarBee units. We will want to look at SolarBee units for potable tanks."

VERY Pleased –MH, Montana

Efficient & Professional –JC, California

"The installation went very well and the installation team from SolarBee was very efficient and professional."

SolarBees Saved $37,000 –SB, Maine

"In 2007, the town was the first to install Solar Bee photovoltaic-powered wastewater circulators. The units saved the town $37,000 in its energy bill within a couple of years. With that savings, the town installed another set of solar energy devices in 2010 using an $85,000 state grant to buy the units. "

Mixing Lowered THMs -BB, Texas

"Our first GS-9 reduced the THM levels in a standpipe by 40-50% and reduced HAA’s as well. We would like to order a 2nd GS-9 for another tank."

Wish Other Vendors Were Like SolarBee –AC, Connecticut

No Chemical Application –VS, California

Great Product & Results- KH, Louisiana

"Just wanted to share this with you... We took a before and after [for THMs]. Before was 83 µg/l. After was 17 µg/l. NOT BAD!!!!! Great product!!!"

A Considerable Difference –JS, Texas

"We have not used the Fast Response Boost System yet, and haven't need to, but the SolarBee SB1250PW v18 is working great! We have noticed a considerable difference. We are not experiencing any problems at all, compared to last year."

Simply Amazing –CR, Alberta, CA

"About a year ago SolarBee installed 6 solar-powered inductors for our thermally stratified shallow lake. Last winter we were experiencing significant algae problems and thermal inversions, indicative of Southern Alberta in general, coupled with the release of iron and manganese by sediment which precipitated again upon oxidation with chlorine (used for disinfection), essentially turning our production water brown. Since we were using the water as source-water for the beef-packing plant, potentially neurotoxic algae in the water was not acceptable. After installing the 6 Solar Bees we saw a drop from 10,000-40,000 cells/milliliter to ~100 cells/milliliter within 1 week! Within 2 weeks our cyanobacteria counts were below detection limits. Simply amazing."

Even Temperature –KK, California

"The SolarBee is doing what it is supposed to do since the temperature top to bottom is only tenths of a degree different. The chlorine residual only drops about a tenth each month."

Very Impressed –CV, Tennessee

"We attended the SolarBee installation and were very impressed. We enjoyed being able to view the installation first hand. We appreciated the SolarBee employees who were on hand during the installation. They were very helpful and good representatives of SolarBee. Their professionalism on site was impressive and we cannot thank them enough for making our experience a pleasurable one."

Professional & Knowledgeable Crew –CD, Louisiana

"Gentlemen, On behalf of our community, I am writing to express our appreciation to Medora for the recent completion of improvements to the town’s water system. The crew sent to do the work was very professional and knowledgeable in working to promptly complete the project. Again, we thank you for your services." Mayor Pro Tem

Doing A Great Job –AK, Colorado

"We no longer use the diffuser and rely only on the SolarBee. Its doing a great job of odor capping."

Best Year For Algae Control –GM, Colorado

"First of all, the two new units look great, as does the lake! This is the best year we have experienced for algae control!"

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

"We are impressed with the level of service provided by SolarBee for this mixer in our potable tank. We also have three competitive units in our lake and they have been nothing but trouble. We wish we had SolarBees in our lake, too!"

Very Happy –DM, California

"We are very happy with the performance of the SolarBee in our tank. We would be happy to serve as a positive reference for both SolarBee performance and service."

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."

Very Helpful -MB, Montana

"Also I wanted to add that you guys were very helpful on this so thank you. Not all suppliers are as great to deal with."

The Best Money You'll Ever Spend –JR, California

“ The $8,000 - $10,000 that you will spend on a GridBee mixer will be the best money you will ever spend. It will solve a lot of your water problems."

Should Have Started With SolarBee –KG, Colorado

"We should have went with a SolarBee to begin with." (A competitive product was removed and replaced with SolarBee.)

BeeKeeper, A Great Deal –DG, New Hampshire

"We really like our SolarBee, your company and the BeeKeeper (maintenance and service plan). The BeeKeeper costs $8k per year and is saving $120k per year on power. This is a great deal! We used to pay more than $8k per year maintaining blowers. We have not run our blowers for several years."

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."

Doing Great! -TN, Colorado

"The AP500 lift station mixer is doing a great job. The grease crust is gone and the water is crystal clear!"

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

"Thanks to the crew. We are very pleased with the pond. All chemical treatment was stopped just before the machine was installed and it looks great. There is growing awareness here about the problem of copper accumulation from BGA treatment and someday the SolarBees may get their due here."

Haven't Added Copper –KC, Arkansas

"We were adding 600-700 lbs of copper sulfate per week from June through September before the SolarBees were installed. We haven't added any copper sulfate since the installation."

Freshest Water –GD, California

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

A Job Well Done -AB, New Jersey

Adding A Second SolarBee –MP, California

"The SolarBee has controlled the blue green algae. It has been an easy decision to add a second unit for hypolimnetic aeration."

No complaints! -PM, Colorado

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

Seamless Satisfaction- CM, Massachusetts

"I can’t believe how seamlessly this worked out. This is why we push for you guys on our projects."

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

No Nitrification Events –JM, California

Doing A Great Job! –RL, Montana

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

Pretty Spectacular –DB, California

Happy With Results –BK, California

"The SolarBees in our raw water reservoir are running fine. We are happy with the SolarBee installations and their results."

Great Results! –JL, Georgia

"We performed a temperature profile 3 weeks after the installation of the SolarBee. The water temperature difference was one tenth of a degree Celsius throughout entire tank (24.1 degree C top, 24.0 degree C bottom). Great results."

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."

Very Reliable & Met Objectives –DC, Colorado

"The two SolarBee's installed in 2007 have been very reliable and have met their objectives. We actively recommend your company to anyone with water issues in the area and you might expect a call from someone with the Colorado Dept of Health in the future."

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. Currently it is running about half of the time. The odors in cells 1 & 2 are down and last winter they were "odor free". SolarBee service is A-1."

Best Secchi Readings Ever –EJ, Florida

"The lake water quality is much improved since the installation of the SolarBee. We saw less algal blooms, less water stratification and the best secchi readings ever since the SolarBee installation. We are very happy with the performance of the SolarBee."

Best Customer Service –KE, Florida

"Thank-you so much for the best customer service moment yesterday when the techs were out troubleshooting our Solar Bee. The three techs (Derek, John and Matt) deserve to be recognized also in their hard work and professionalism. I'm very happy that the Solar Bee is working now."

Reduced Macrophytes –DI, Alberta Canada

"The macrophytes in this lake have been greatly reduced since the installation of the SolarBee!"

Works Like Clockwork –JT, Colorado

"This year the system worked like clockwork, no problems, no algae blooms. We are sold on the product. Your service is great."

No Issues –RC, Oregon

"The two SolarBee machines have been "working great" and we have no issues or needs at this time."
