Cost & Chemical Savings! –JN, Georgia

Direct chemical savings from the Solar Bees have been over $250,000 this first full year cycle. Customer support and service have been superb. Top notch in that area. These are very well built, well designed, robust pieces of equipment. Our expectations have been met. Yes, I am a fan of Solar Bees. They simply work. "

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."

Smells Like Spring Instead Not Odors –CN, South Dakota

"Every spring, for several weeks, odors would roll over the whole town. So, we installed SolarBee mixers in our ponds. Now, residents can look forward to smelling spring in the air instead of the treatment plant. We don't notice anything in the spring anymore."

Increased DO –JB, Texas

"SolarBee greatly increased DO throughout the reservoir. There have been major increases in wildlife in the area as the water is much more habitable now. We've completely stopped using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our treatment plant. Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and the plant. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years."

Substantial Savings –RP, Pennsylvania

"Our constant discharge effluent into a stream is the cleanest it has ever been. Our state no longer requires water samples on the weekends like we had to do before installation of the SolarBees. We have seen substantial savings in electrical energy costs since the SolarBee installation."

No Chemical Application –VS, California

"We are very happy with the SolarBees. They definitely are doing their job; we have not had to apply any chemicals to the lake since the installation of the SolarBees."

Good DO –JH, Louisiana

"Last year we went out a few times during the heat of the summer and found good DO and other parameters to the exact depths that the SolarBee intake was set to, and we haven't had a recurrence of hypertrophy since installation. Proof enough!"

We've Cut Down On Costs –PK, Vermont

"The SolarBee unit we've had in operation since last year has allowed us to cut down on power significantly and even more importantly cut down on service costs to keep operational the surface aerators/aspirators we previous relied on completely. Your factory service and support was the main reason we went with SolarBee instead of Aeromix."

Conditons Are Great! –JM, California

"Reservoir conditions are great! As of last week, July 22, we were still at non detect for MIB and Geosim. Water clarity is at 6.5 meters, where last year it was 2-3 meters."

Down To 182Hp/day –AK, Oregon

"Right now we are down to an average of 182Hp/day. Our baseline when the project started was 568Hp/day. The initial estimates were for a reduction of 35.2% and we are down 68%. We started reducing aeration and by Oct. 2010 we were at 330/day. By July 2011 we were at 214/day and now we are at about as low as we want to go."

Dedicated Organization –GH, California

No Ice In Cold Winter –IG, Michigan

"Photos were taken from Lyons, MI. We put the GS-12 in last year. They wanted to see what the inside was like so we climbed up there Wednesday and took a look. The results- – no ice!!!! Considering how cold this winter has been, that is amazing. Who knew your mixers really did work? The owner is extremely happy with this as you can imagine."

Enjoying Improvements –PN, Arkansas

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

Everything Is Working Great –TR, Kansas

"We have 11 SolarBee units installed in three ponds since 2007. Everything is working great. We have not had any BOD or TSS violations since the units were installed. We are very happy with the machines and the service, and we plan to renew the Beekeeper Service Contract. "

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!"

THM Reduction Is Excellent! -DC,New York

"Attached is the Town’s most recent DBP results for the water tower. As you can see, the TTHM reduction is excellent and has brought the Town back into compliance after just one quarter of testing."

Great Team -JW, Nevada

No Algae –MD, Washington

"We've had the units for a year and a half and no algae. Your customer service has been great. Your crew did a great job!"

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."

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."

Impressed With Service Level –PW, Ohio

"The SolarBee is working great! We are impressed with the level of service; you don't just install the units and forget about them."

Pleased With SolarBee Results –RF, Colorado

"There was some ice in the tank this year but it didn't completely freeze like it had before the SolarBee was installed. It was a very cold winter; coldest it has been in a very long time. We are pleased with the results of the SolarBee."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

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

THMs Came Down –JV, California

Solving Our Problems –MM, Indiana

"The SolarBee's are solving our problems. Ammonia and BOD levels are good."

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."

Did Not Cut Corners –LT, Arizona

"Just would like to say that your field service techs did all the work that they were supposed to and did not cut any corners. They also went above and beyond by making repairs that were damaged and it really is hard to find good employees that are like that these days so I wanted to tell them thank you when they left before I had the chance to tell them in person."

Cleared Water In One Season –SD, Alberta Canada

"We are absolutely amazed how the SolarBee has cleared up the water in just one season. We have never had such good, clear, odor free water!"

Goals Have Been Met! –J, CA

"Our goals have been met! We're controlling blue-green algae, reducing stagnation, and reducing odors. We can't say enough about how the SolarBees have cured our problems!"

Gold Stars Around –KN, Oregon

"The SolarBee has been running great even during these darkest days of the year. We would give SolarBee 'gold stars around.' We are particularly happy with the service we have received over the years, and would be more than happy to share our positive experience with SolarBee."

Surprised & Amazed -CJ, Minnesota

"To say I am surprised that there was no ice in the three tanks would be an understatement. And the fact we removed virtually all the ice from an iced over tank in three days of running is amazing."

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."

Always Impressed With SolarBee –VK, California

"We have always been impressed by the SolarBee firm. We can't seem to say enough about you, and then you pull another "WOW" factor by providing very quick response about our aquatic weed issue that just "floored" me. We wish that we could provide our residents half the support you provide to us. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH !"

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!"

Appreciat Customer Service –JC, Illinois

"We really appreciate your customer service!"

The Sludge Blanket Is Gone –JW, CA

Freshest Water –GD, California

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