Very Impressed -DT, Florida

"I wanted to let you know that we were very impressed with the professionalism displayed by your staff who set this up in the lake."

Everything Is Going Well –TT, California

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

Greatly Improved Water Quality –EJ, Florida

"The lake water quality is greatly improved since the installation of the SolarBee. There are less algal blooms, and water stratification. The secchi readings are the greatly improved since the SolarBee installation. We are very happy with the performance of the SolarBee.'

HUGE Improvement In Water –TA, Illinois

"The newer GridBee unit is up and running and is making a HUGE improvement in our water! Thanks for all of your help."

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

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."

Pond Looks Like An Ad –JS, Massachusetts

"Our pond looks like an ad for Poland Spring, with very good clarity!"

Gratitude For A Job Well Done -JL, Nevada

"We wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the professionalism of your SolarBee installation crew. They showed up on time every day, had all the necessary safety equipment with them, a disinfection plan, and worked hard each day in the intense heat."

No Nitrification Events –JM, California

"We have had not had nitrification events since installing the SolarBee in our large 11 MG above ground steel tank. We have not even had to do any boosting, which we used to have to do before frequently."

So Easy To Work With –RC, Coldorado

"It's been a pleasure working with this company over the years. You have been easy to work with and all the crew members have been top-rate and very professional."

Reaped Rewards –BT, California

"Taking a step forward in technology has reaped a variety of rewards for this Public Utility District. Each of these rewards came about as a result of the district's installing a SolarBee, in each of our six ponds. The estimated savings to the electrical grid will be $113,700 and 855,722 kilowatt hours per year!"

Rare Find, Highly Recommended –CG, Michigan

"it's often rare to find the product support and level of customer service provided by [Medora Corporation]. Please pass our comments and thanks on to your staff members. My staff and I would highly recommend SolarBee products to anyone."

Thanks for a great job! -SD, California

"I am writing to say thanks very much to you and your team of SolarBee Service Technicians for doing a great job... Everyone who loves our lake greatly appreciates your team's successful efforts!"

Flawless Operation -LR, Arizona

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

Love It -JG, New Hampshire

"Medora is the greatest to work with. Love it"

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!"

The SolarBee is doing great! -DL, New Mexico

"The SolarBee is doing great in our WW lagoon. We have reduced odors, less bad algae and less turnovers."

A God Send –LP, California

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

Over 30 SolarBees –MH, California

"Our system consists of some 37 SolarBee installations. We have had no nitrification events this season. This hugely important! It is primarily due to frequent monitoring, mixing and boosting when necessary."

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!"

Summer Is Going Great! –W, Colorado

"Summer is going great! Water quality is good. We had secchi depths to the bottom in June. We are starting to get our "pond biology" back (i.e. fish, frogs...) We are very happy with the operation of the SolarBee, customer service and contact capability."

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."

Great Job- KH, Louisiana

"Good afternoon! Just wanted to pass this on... Your guys did a great job and were very nice to work with. I would definitely recommend your company. Thanks again!!!"

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."

Phenomenal Job –IP, Texas

"The SolarBee did a phenomenal job at improving conditions. 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."

Consistent Levels Of CL Residual –SC, Michigan

“The levels of chlorine residual have become more consistent after installing the GS-12 mixer. I was having differing chlorine residuals before I started mixing, but now it’s been even out in the system. One sample I pull from a dead end has maintained a real even residual.”

Freshest Water –GD, California

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

Enjoying Improvements –PN, Arkansas

"We are enjoying the improvements SolarBees have provided our reservoir."

THMs At Very Low Levels! -JS, California

“The THM System is running fantastic! THM’s are at a very low level and the system has been running without issues.”

$15,000 Electric Cost Decrease –RF, California

"The SolarBees are great. We saw a $15,000 decrease in our electric costs in January with the SolarBees operating!"

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."

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.”

Want To Buy More –DR, California

"We have nothing but good things to say about the SolarBees in our lake. This is our 4th unit and we want to buy more."

Best Year Ever! -TB, Colorado

"This was our best year ever. Our raw water quality just keeps getting better every year since the SolarBees were installed 3 years ago."

Solved Problems –RL, California

"SolarBees have solved our dimethyl mercury problem."

Pleased With Product and Service –JA, California

Dramatically Improved Clarity –WT, California

"In the ponds where SolarBees have been installed the water clarity has improved dramatically. We can now see 3-4 feet in depth and have experienced no odors. Evaporation rates have been enhanced dramatically as well."

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."

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.
