Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Excellent Odor Cap –MF, California

Thanks again for your ongoing help and support."

Phenomenal Job –IP, Texas

We observed not only a visual improvement in water quality but an increase in the diversity of amphibians, aquatic invertebrates, and fish populations. This leads to an increase in the use of the pond by other wildlife such as birds and mammals. These improvements also lead to a greater interest and education opportunity for the general public to learn about the benefits of improved water quality."

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

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!"

"These Solarbee units just run. You built them too well!"
