These units don't miss a beat! -PK, Vermont

“We reduced our aerators from 17 to nine and are thinking about getting another circulator for our third lagoon. We’ve had very good success, and they are very low-maintenance. Even during the winter, these units don’t miss a beat.”

We Are Very Happy –RP, Colorado

"The south pond was running 4 days before we got the North pond running and in that time we evaporated 0.75" in the North Pond and 1.75" in the South Pond. In each pond that equates to 27 truck loads of 4365 gallons = 117,855 gallons. We are very happy at this time !!

Professional & Knowledgeable Crew –DS, Pennsylvania

"The SolarBee crew was very professional, well prepared, and very knowledgeable."

A Considerable Difference –JS, Texas

Best Equipment –RS, Michigan

"SolarBees are the best equipment that we have ever purchased! We have had double the normal snow and zero degree temperatures for several days and it is still operating."

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."

Great Results! –JL, Georgia

"We performed a temperature profile 3 weeks after the installation of the SolarBee. The water temperature difference was one tenth of a degree Celsius throughout entire tank (24.1 degree C top, 24.0 degree C bottom). Great results."

Preventing Nitrification Issues –AW, California

"Our SolarBee units continue to prevent nitrification issues in our large tanks and basically prevent the problems we used to have. We continue to be happy with the machine's performance as well as SolarBee customer service."

Love SolarBee –SL, California

Haven't Had To Boost –TC, California

Should Have Started With SolarBee –KG, Colorado

"We should have went with a SolarBee to begin with." (A competitive product was removed and replaced with SolarBee.)

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."

No Blue Green Algae! –PT, Colorado

"We have had a great year with no blue green algae! We have not heard any negative comments from anyone and are very happy with the SolarBee unit."

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."

Easy Company To Work With –LG, South Dakota

"SolarBee is one of the easiest companies to work with and you go above our expectations. We are very pleased with the units and the service SolarBee provides."

Very Happy –RN, California

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

Always Running –DM, North Carolina

Doing Great! -TN, Colorado

"The AP500 lift station mixer is doing a great job. The grease crust is gone and the water is crystal clear!"

Impressive Crew –JL, Georgia

Clear Enough To See The Bottom –JC, Oregon

"This is the first summer in quite a few years that I have been able to take my kids swimming up here. Normally at this time of the year there are green balls of gunk floating around. The shoreline is pretty clean this summer. In the past the lake had stinking moss on the edges and now the water is clear enough that I am able to see the bottom off the dock."

We wish that we could provide our residents half the support you provide to us. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH !"

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.

Solved Problems –RL, California

"SolarBees have solved our dimethyl mercury problem."
