SolarBee Success Maintains Water Rate –JN, Georgia

We have been able to stabilize that volatility and maintain cost savings. We have not had a water rate increase in last 3 years, since the SolarBees were installed. We would have had an increase were it not for the SolarBees. SolarBees exceed my expectations for quality and craftsmanship and are built well. "

We Are Thrilled With SolarBee –GC, Arkansas

Phenomenal Job –IP, Texas

"The SolarBee did a phenomenal job at improving conditions. We observed not only a visual improvement in water quality but an increase in the diversity of amphibians, aquatic invertebrates, and fish populations. This leads to an increase in the use of the pond by other wildlife such as birds and mammals. These improvements also lead to a greater interest and education opportunity for the general public to learn about the benefits of improved water quality."

Complete Mixing –JM, California

"We have found that we have complete mixing inside the tank after approximately 36 hours. That is with the reservoir filled to 20 feet which equates to 7.4 million gallons of water. We are very happy with the SolarBee results."

Fishing Has Been Great! –HB, Michigan

"We are very happy on how the lake looks this spring. A lot of people have made comments that the ice fishing this past winter has been great. Best it's been in several years!"

The Sludge Blanket Is Gone –JW, CA

We have had great success with the SB1250 units in our other small park ponds as well."

No Algae Or MN Issues –VS, California

"We have not experienced any algae or MN issues since we installed the SolarBee."

Extremely Happy –DO, Colorado

"We are extremely happy with our GridBees. They are leaving 4-foot or more open circle in the ice, even during the coldest parts of winter, and they've helped with the manganese problem."

No Nitrification Issues –JG, California

Smells Like Spring Instead Not Odors –CN, South Dakota

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

Working With Customers Builds Relationships –JP, North Carolina
