Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Very Satisfied -SS, California

"Overall we have been very satisfied especially with your customer service!"

Outstanding Job -JG, California

"Your staff did an outstanding job and very politely answered many questions from our curious members. Thank you for providing outstanding service."

SolarBee Saved Us -VG, Texas

"The SolarBee units saved us the last two years!"

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. "

Great Crew! –AZ, New Jersey

"Your crew was a great...very professional!"

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."

Greatly Improved –JC, Arkansas

"Water quality has greatly improved! We are very happy with the SolarBee unit in our tank. We also have SolarBees in our reservoir and the water quality is better than is has been in a long time."

No More Algae OR Copper –KC, Arkansas

"We haven't had an algae bloom or had to add copper sulfate since the SolarBees were installed. We were adding 600-700 lbs of copper sulfate per week from June through September!"

Not Possible Without SolarBee –AW, California

"Our conversion to chloramine would not have been possible without SolarBees."

Very Impressed –MB, South Dakota

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!"

Well Mixed Water No Nitrification –M, California

"The SolarBees are working great with water sampling showing that the water is well mixed with no nitrification!"

Better Water Quality –JS, Iowa

"We are happy with the SolarBees. We have not had to boost since the SolarBee installation and the system has better water quality. We would be happy to serve as a positive reference."

Mixing Does Wonders -BT, Iowa

"Since its installation, this mixer has done wonders to help maintain a consistent chlorine residual with-in this 7 million gallon reservoir. Design of this reservoir was such that the inlet/outlet shared a common entry and exit point that left undesirable low residual counts in many areas of the reservoir. The SB5000 has greatly increased the mixing action within the reservoir and now consistent chlorine residuals can be obtained through out testing areas all around. Since its install, very little maintenance was needed and this unit has worked almost flawlessly."

Informative Crew –SC, California

"The SolarBee's are working great. The installation crew was informative and did the installation with precision. Your safety controls are excellent."

Improved Circulation & Resolved Stratification –RN, California

"We have seen the benefits of the installation of the SolarBees in our storage facilities. It has definitely improved circulation inside these potable storage's and solved the stratification problems we have been experiencing."

Great Employees –DW, New York

"I don't know where you find employees like the ones who have visited our Lake over the past two years, but, what ever it takes, I would keep them!"

Crew Did Great –GC, Arkansas

"Your crew did a great job. They did not hesitate to accommodate our needs. They were polite and showed good expertise. We would hire any one of them in a minute."

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!"

Cleanest & Best Looking Water –DB, California

"I stopped by the lake yesterday and went around the whole lake looking and some fishing - mostly looking.

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

"I know I can rely on Medora Corporation. Their attention to engineering detail is exceptional. We can really see the time and effort they took in developing their GridBee THM reduction unit. Nobody else on the market thinks about these things; it's well beyond what anyone else would have done."

No Nitrification Issues –JG, California

"We essentially have had no nitrification issues in 2008. The mixing with the injection system allows us to keep our ratios of chlorine and ammonia in check. Everything is working well and we have no service issues."

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."

Thanks To The Crew –SP, Florida

Awesome Crew -DW, Colorado

"Your crew was awesome and I was impressed how quickly they were able to respond."

Good DO –JH, Louisiana

Happy Neighbors –JS, Massachusetts

"We sent you a recent picture. The rainbow didn't quite end at the SolarBee, but it was close. In the meantime we have had excellent water quality this year--so far better than any recent year for mid-July. Lots of happy neighbors."

Best Water Color –JD, West Virginia

Reduced Cyanobacteria Counts –BC, Massachusetts

"The latest Secchi disk readings from yesterday varied from 1.2 - 1.4 meters, or about 4-5 feet. Prior readings showing water clarity were rarely greater than one ft. Cyanobacteria counts are reduced substantially, and microcystin counts are less than 1 ppb. Residents are saying that there are no odors (Unlike before). Elderly residents are saying they are pleased to see their grand-kids swim in a lake that was as good as when they were children."

Gold Stars Around –KN, Oregon

Reduced THMs –JL, Nevada

"The SB10000PWv18 mixer has greatly helped to reduce our THMs just with mixing so we are very happy with the benefits of the large machine."

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."

Drastically Reduced Algae –JS, California

"The SolarBee have drastically reduced the filamentous algae in our pond."

Turned Off Our Aerators –DC, California

Working As Advertised –MC, Washington

"We installed the GS-9 ourselves in 1 hour. Very complete kit and great instructions! The mixers are working as advertised!"

Extremely Happy –DO, Colorado

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."

Great Job- KH, Louisiana
