Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Fabulous Customer Service –RS, Oregon

"Fabulous customer service in all respects working with you folks."

Haven't Had To Boost –TC, California

"We have not had to boost since the installation! In the past we have had to boost every 1-2 weeks."

Diminished Odor Complaints –LS, California

"The SolarBees in the reservoir are doing a great job. The taste and odor complaints and copper treatments have diminished greatly. The greatest visual impact has been on the reduction of macrophytes. We no longer harvest any weeds at all."

$5,000 - $6,000 Savings –DB, New York

"We are saving between $5000-$6000 a year on chemical utilization."

Wish Other Vendors Were Like SolarBee –AC, Connecticut

"Your crews are hard working, decent people who care about their job and the customers. We wish our other vendors were more like SolarBee."

Decreased Chemical Usage –JB, Texas

"Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and Plant #1. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years!" We've completely gotten away from using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a gradual decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our Plant #1." I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our SolarBee that you set up at our raw water reservoir."

No Worries -DF, New York

"Everything has been good this year with the system [SolarBee® Potable Tank Mixer]. It sure is nice not to worry about the tank anymore."

An Exceptional Job –JZ, Wyoming

"Thanks for getting Steve back up here to fix our glitches. He is great to work with and did an exceptional job! Please pass that on to the powers that be!"

We Are Thrilled With SolarBee –GC, Arkansas

"We are thrilled with the SolarBee! We were having smell issues this summer. We made a minor adjustment in July where we raised our intake by one foot while we lowered the SolarBee intake by one foot. As soon as this was done, the smell issues went away."

Gratitude For Crew –JL, Nevada

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the professionalism of your Solar Bee 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 to complete the installation."

Excellent Service & Product –JB, California

"We have not had any nitrification events with the SolarBees in this reservoir. Your service and product are excellent."

Impressed With Results –RY, MA.

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."

Remarkable Engineering –DD, California

"We removed a stick from the SB5000 impeller,and once it was removed the unit went right back to working flawlessly. That was remarkable and a credit to engineering of the SolarBees. Most motors would have burned themselves out. The SolarBee went back to doing what it was designed to do."

Greatly Improved -DS, Colorado

"Heavy algae growth was frequently plugging off the filters. Now the filter plugging is greatly reduced and the [AerationPlus©] AP1800 has greatly improved the water clarity."

Reduced Macrophytes –DI, Alberta Canada

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

Excellent Water Quality –SB, California

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

"The unit has been running for approximately one month. The unit was very simple to install. It is keeping everything in suspension and the pumps aren't clogging. We are extremely happy with the AP500 and are going to order a second one."

Extremely Pleased –RH, Oregon

"We are extremely pleased with the results achieved in Manganese reduction in our raw water reservoir this September. The decline being nearly linear shows that the reduction was caused by the SolarBee gradually oxidizing the water."

Water Clarity Is 8 ft –MW, California

Thanks to all that made this project a success!"

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."

Never Been More Clear –DE, Alberta Canada

"We were just out at the Lake and it has not ever been more clear. We can see the bottom at the end of the dock. In the past few years it has gone a little cloudy by now.

Thanks again for your ongoing help and support."

More Zooplankton –DB, California

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."

Happy To Be A Reference –GC, Arkansas

" If you ever want to use us as a reference, I would be happy to talk with anyone of our customers. Last year around January/February we were seeing 40-50ug/L (THM readings), this year we are seeing 20-30ug/L. The real test will be known this summer. But, as soon as our larger tank is built, we intend to put another THM System in it as well. We are very happy with Medora Corporation and the SolarBee Performance!"

Outstanding! -GB, Colorado

"We appreciate Medora's outstanding customer service and follow ups".

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."

No Ice Formation! –KL, Maine

"We did not have any ice formation in our potable water tank over winter! We are very pleased with the SolarBee performance."

Commitment To Service -JC, Arkansas

"Medora's commitment to provide a high level of service at a reasonable price is very commendable. We very much appreciate it!"
