Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

High Quality Staff & Great Results –JR, Oregon

"We continue to rave about the high quality professional staff of SolarBee during the installation process, the performance achieved by the unit, and the great results from the modeling output showing the degree of mixing achieved with the unit. We plan to use those figures to convince the department to proceed with additional installations in our 17 PW tanks."

Top Notch -CD, Kentucky

"Thank you for your prompt assistance and top notch service."

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."

Wish All Vendors Were Like SolarBee –SP, California

"We wish all of our vendors would be like SolarBee."

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 Job -JG, California

"Your staff did an outstanding job and very politely answered many questions from our curious members. Thank you for providing outstanding service."

Best Investment –PJ, California

"We love our SolarBees. It is the best investment we have ever made."

Excellent Water Quality –SB, California

"The SolarBees did a great job when we added chlorine to our chloramine system to keep remaining ammonia in balance and under control.. It extended the excellent water quality period in their reservoirs from 3 days to 2 weeks."

AP500 Doing Wonders! -WR, California

"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."

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."

Amazing Impact –JB, California

"The SolarBees are preventative and have had an amazing impact on water quality, and water clarity. We strive to prevent any possible fish kill events. Your service crews have done a tremendous job in keeping our system functional and up to date."

Reduced THMs By 50% –RS, Colorado

Best Company- MD, California

"Medora Corporation is the best company I have dealt with in my 23 years with the city."

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!"

Ready To Install Additonal Mixers –RG, California

"The City has been very pleased with the chlorine residual improvements in the vicinity of our tanks where we installed the two GS-12's. We are ready to install 3 additional mixers."

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."

A Considerable Difference –JS, Texas

Good People -RM, New York

"The installation went well, you have very good people throughout [your] company."

Clear Enough To See The Bottom –JC, Oregon

"This is the first summer in quite a few years that I have been able to take my kids swimming up here. Normally at this time of the year there are green balls of gunk floating around. The shoreline is pretty clean this summer. In the past the lake had stinking moss on the edges and now the water is clear enough that I am able to see the bottom off the dock."

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."

SolarBees Working Flawlessly –DC, California

"We have 4 SolarBees in our potable tanks. Our potable water system has a 30 MG storage capacity, but we could only utilize about 5 MG prior to the SolarBees. We were always trying to deep cycle, but were limited due to poor water quality. After the SolarBees were installed they doubled and tripled the use of our system. The SolarBees have been working flawlessly."

Saved Thousands –PR, Michigan

"The reservoir has very good clarity. Since the Solarbees have been installed in the system we do not have to move water through the system in order to keep the water quality high. This has saved thousands of dollars a month in the spring, summer and fall. "

Superb, Detailed, & Rare -OT, California

"Just wanted to say an incredibly big thank you for the superb customer service and attention to detail. It is so rare for us to have that type of service from vendors that we work with, it really sets Medora Co apart."

65% Energy Savings –DS, Pennsylvania

"We are happy with the SolarBees performance. We have experienced a 65% energy savings and have not had any violations since the SolarBees have been installed. We are considering future purchases from SolarBee."

Pretty Spectacular –DB, California

"This is an incredible lake now. It is mind blowing. A completely different reservoir. This is pretty spectacular."

Amazing To Look At –MY, New York

Regarding SolarBee's impact on biofilm on the tank interior: "The tank is empty now and they are cleaning as we speak. The sides of the tank are very clean and we are down to about 1/2 to 1 inch of debris in the bottom. It is amazing to look at what is in the tank now, compared to what was there pre-SolarBee. "

Improved Overall Water Quality –JE, Colorado

"The SolarBee is working well with no apparent issues....We believe the overall water quality of the reservoir has improved (much better clarity and less algae) since the addition of the SolarBee."

Did Not Cut Corners –LT, Arizona

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."
