Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Compliance In A Month –FJ, Louisiana

"The Medora SN-15 system is definitely doing what it was supposed to do because it got our system into compliance within a month of being installed and we are very happy about that."

SolarBee Success Maintains Water Rate –JN, Georgia

"The success of SolarBees has allowed us for the last few years to maintain current wholesale water rate. Chemical costs are volatile; based on petro industry cost. We have been able to stabilize that volatility and maintain cost savings. We have not had a water rate increase in last 3 years, since the SolarBees were installed. We would have had an increase were it not for the SolarBees. SolarBees exceed my expectations for quality and craftsmanship and are built well. "

Thanks for a job well done! -SG, New York

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you and the crew at Medora. You guys have been very responsive to our many requests and questions. In addition your field crew did a great job installing the mixer. It was impressive to see how careful they were protecting the equipment and materials they hoisted to the top of the tank so they didn't scratch the paint. Thanks again for a job well done."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

"Thank you. Your thorough service and your continued interest in our SolarBee project is top shelf!"

Reduced Organics & THMs –KJ, California

"It is the best water color I have ever seen in all my years as an operator. DO is ranging from 11.O to 16.0 mg/l in all cells. We think the SolarBees will save us about $10,000 per year in electrical bills."

Dedicated Crew –PS, Massachusetts

Outstanding! -GB, Colorado

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

AP500 Doing Wonders! -WR, California

"The AP500 is doing wonders. It has solved the grease problem that we were having in this wet well.

The compressor is quiet and unobtrusive. We are pretty excited about the AP500 and it has exceeded our expectations."

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

The SolarBee Made It Through The Hurricane, Thoroughly Impressed- SP, Florida

On September 10th, 2017, Hurricane Irma (known here un-affectionately as Big Irma) blew at a recorded 142 mph very near our SB10000. On September 12th I drove by the SB10000 location and noted that the machine had dragged its moorings a few dozen feet toward the west but was still operating as if nothing happened.
