Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Great Crew –MD, Washington

"Thanks for sending a crew to fix our problems. They did a great job. Everything has been fixed and we appreciate their efforts. They weren't going to quit until they got it done. At a time when we are normally starting to show algae, there virtually has been none. We've had the SolarBee units for a year and a half and have experienced no algae. Your customer service has been great. Your crew did a great job."

Lower THMs -PG, California

"TTHMs went from the 90s µg/l to the 20s µg/l!"

A Job Well Done -GA, Texas

"Just wanted so say thanks to you and IXOM for job well done on installing our secondary system. You have got a very professional crew."

VERY Pleased –MH, Montana

"We are VERY pleased with the SolarBee performance at our reservoir! The secchi depth is about 18 ft. and the algae count is way down."

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!"

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!"

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."

NO Odor –JT,Michigan

"We have NO odor and very little sludge or slurry. We are happy with our Solarbees!"

Very Happy –RN, California

"We are very happy with SolarBee. The SolarBees are one of our best purchases in the past 20 years!"

Removed A Scum Layer –S, Arkansas

"This is our first AP500 installation. In 6 hours it has almost completely removed a foot thick scum layer. When we attempted to lower the unit through the scum, it wouldn't go through. It rested on top. The only way to get it down was to turn it on and let it work itself down. We are impressed."

A God Send –LP, California

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

Impressive Crew –JL, Georgia

"There is less than one degree of temperature difference throughout the entire tank. The professionalism of the installation crews and their commitment to safety while on the job site is impressive."
