Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Efficient & Professional –RR, Arizona

"SolarBee is one of the most efficient professional groups we have ever worked with."

Great Job- KH, Louisiana

"Good afternoon! Just wanted to pass this on... Your guys did a great job and were very nice to work with. I would definitely recommend your company. Thanks again!!!"

Vast Reduction In Algae –SG, Arizona

"The SolarBee units are working very well. We have seen a vast reduction in the amount of algae that was inundating the ponds and plugging screens and pumps. No complaints, only positive results!"

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."

Preventing Fish Kills -JA, Colorado

"The SolarBee units continue to work well to prevent fish kills in high elevation mountain lakes by keeping an open area in the ice."

Machines Are Working Well –BA, Washington

"Both GS-12s are installed and working well! Thanks for checking."

Wish All Vendors Were Like SolarBee –SP, California

"We wish all of our vendors would be like SolarBee."

Good Quality Even At Low Levels –DL, California

"We have had very good water quality even with low levels. We have had very good deep DO which we never had before. We are very happy with the SolarBee installations."

Pretty Incredible –RL, California

"The ponds are doing very well. None of the ponds have gone sour since the SolarBees were installed, which is pretty incredible!"

No Icing Problems –SC, Michigan

"Our tower is too small to lower the level much during the winter. Because we use the height of the water for pressure, we need to keep it as full as possible. Plus, lowering the water level compromised fire flow capacity. As a result, ice cakes were formed in the tank every winter. After installing the GS-12 mixer, I was able to keep the tank full during the winter with no icing problems."

The Crew Worked Proficiently –MV, New Mexico

"It was raining like cats and dogs when your crew arrived. They worked proficiently to complete the install despite being soaked and getting stuck twice. They were real professionals."

Highly Professional Crew –RP, Oregon

"Your crew was highly professional and very proficient with safety issues during the install. The City crew learned a lot about safety issues that they incorporated into their practices. "

No Copper Sulfate Since SolarBee –VL, New York

"We used to use "tons" of copper sulfate in treatment and now we do not use any. Actually, we have not used any copper sulfate since the SolarBee's were installed."

It's Been A Pleasure -DH, Florida

"Your company has consistently been a pleasure to deal with which is welcome change from the norm."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

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

Very Impressed –JR, Colorado

"We are very impressed with the SolarBee circulators. The reservoirs are froze except around the SolarBee units. We will want to look at SolarBee units for potable tanks."

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."

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."

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."

No Shoreline Slime –JJ, Georgia

"We are very happy with the SolarBees. There is no green slime along the shoreline. This is a major difference that we attribute entirely to the SolarBees. We would gladly serve as a positive reference for SolarBee."

Dedicated Organization –GH, California

"We truly appreciate your commitment and assistance in helping us resolve the lake water quality issues and it has been extremely refreshing and encouraging in working with an organization that is so dedicated to achieve that goal."

Fantastic –ES, Florida

"You guys do fantastic service trips!"

Greatly Improved -DS, Colorado

"Heavy algae growth was frequently plugging off the filters. Now the filter plugging is greatly reduced and the [AerationPlus©] AP1800 has greatly improved the water clarity."

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!"

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."

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

"We are impressed with the level of service provided by SolarBee for this mixer in our potable tank. We also have three competitive units in our lake and they have been nothing but trouble. We wish we had SolarBees in our lake, too!"

Like An Aquarium –DB, California

"We now have the cleanest and best looking water I have ever seen in the lake! It is like an aquarium."

No Compliance Problems –MM, Indiana

"We are very happy with the SolarBees in our wastewater system. There have been no compliance problems since the SolarBees have been installed."

Simply Amazing –CR, Alberta, CA

"About a year ago SolarBee installed 6 solar-powered inductors for our thermally stratified shallow lake. Last winter we were experiencing significant algae problems and thermal inversions, indicative of Southern Alberta in general, coupled with the release of iron and manganese by sediment which precipitated again upon oxidation with chlorine (used for disinfection), essentially turning our production water brown. Since we were using the water as source-water for the beef-packing plant, potentially neurotoxic algae in the water was not acceptable. After installing the 6 Solar Bees we saw a drop from 10,000-40,000 cells/milliliter to ~100 cells/milliliter within 1 week! Within 2 weeks our cyanobacteria counts were below detection limits. Simply amazing."

Increased Oxygen & Less Odor –JS, Colorado

"We love what our SolarBees have done to the lake! The oxygen levels have increased substantially, and the odors are mostly gone."

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 !!

Pretty Spectacular –DB, California

"This is an incredible lake now. It is mind blowing. A completely different reservoir. This is pretty spectacular."

Friendly Crew –TR, Kansas

"Wanted to let you know that all the guys that did the installation were the friendliest and most knowledgeable group of guys that we've been around. Wish everyone we worked with was that easy to get along with."

Working To Get Additonal Machines –RP, Oregon

"Your installation team exhibited high quality professionalism. The great results from the modeling output shows the degree of mixing achieved. The performance achieved by the unit is great. We will continue to work with our department for additional SolarBees in our additional 17 potable water tanks."

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."

Best Company To Work With –TG, Colorado

"SolarBee is one of the best companies we have ever worked with!"

Carbon Savings –RC, Colorado

"Before the SB we would see geosmin spikes in the 30-90 ng/L range during July-August, and 20-30 ng/L from Nov to Jan. We like to keep concentrations below 5 ng/L The highest measurement in 2009 was 8 ng/L with greatly reduced taste & odor issues, and we saved an estimated $50k in PAC savings compared to prior years. We attribute these reductions and carbon savings to the SolarBee, and are very happy with results so far."

"SolarBees are one of our best purchases in the past 20 years!"

Amazing To Look At –MY, New York

Regarding SolarBee's impact on biofilm on the tank interior: "The tank is empty now and they are cleaning as we speak.
