Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

Substantial Energy Savings –AC, Connecticut

"We are very satisfied with the SolarBee mixing in our tanks. We have experienced substantial energy savings by going with green technology that SolarBee has provided."

Over 30 SolarBees –MH, California

"Our system consists of some 37 SolarBee installations. We have had no nitrification events this season. This hugely important! It is primarily due to frequent monitoring, mixing and boosting when necessary."

Thank You! –BH, Colorado

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

SolarBee Saved Us -VG, Texas

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

Smells Like Spring Instead Not Odors –CN, South Dakota

"Every spring, for several weeks, odors would roll over the whole town. So, we installed SolarBee mixers in our ponds. Now, residents can look forward to smelling spring in the air instead of the treatment plant. We don't notice anything in the spring anymore."

What A Difference –SH, California

"Wow! What a difference SolarBees have made in our water quality."

Haven't Had To Boost –TC, California

"We have not had to boost since the installation! In the past we have had to boost every 1-2 weeks."

Hard Working Crew –JL, Wisconsin

"Your service crew are hard workers. Their knowledge in repairing the SolarBees was excellent. They are a valuable asset to SolarBee and to their customers."

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!"

SolarBee Success Maintains Water Rate –JN, Georgia

"The success of SolarBees has allowed us for the last few years to maintain current wholesale water rate. Chemical costs are volatile; based on petro industry cost. 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. "

A Great Investment –PJ, California

"We love the SolarBees. It is the best investment that we have ever made!"

Special Service -JL, Georgia

"Your service department has always treated us as a special customer. Your efforts do not go unnoticed! Thank you again!!!"

Adding A Second SolarBee –MP, California

"The SolarBee has controlled the blue green algae. It has been an easy decision to add a second unit for hypolimnetic aeration."

Extra Steps To Make Customers Happy –LC, New Hampshire

"We have never had a crew onsite that are the caliber of these men. They are not only professional but take extra steps to make sure the customer is happy. They have great attitudes, work ethic and politeness."

Extremely Pleased –RH, Oregon

"We are extremely pleased with the results achieved in Manganese reduction in our raw water reservoir this September. The decline being nearly linear shows that the reduction was caused by the SolarBee gradually oxidizing the water."

Everything Is Going Well –TT, California

"We are pleased and everything is going well. We have not had to use copper sulfate since the SolarBee was installed!"

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."

Fantastic –ES, Florida

"You guys do fantastic service trips!"

Highly Professional Crew –BE, Oregon

"The SolarBee crew was highly professional and very proficient with safety issues. We have learned a lot about safety issues that they incorporated into their practices."

Impressed With Service Level –PW, Ohio

"The SolarBee is working great! We are impressed with the level of service; you don't just install the units and forget about them."

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."

Great To Work With –WK, South Dakota

"Your crew arrived early today. They were really great to work with."

Less Copper Usage –CK, New Mexico

"We are pleased with the operation and performance of the SolarBee. We use substantially less copper sulfate since its installation. High doses of copper sulfate are detrimental to fish population--we no longer have this problem."

It's Been A Pleasure -DH, Florida

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

Very Customer Orientated –DS, Massachusetts

"The two men involved in the installation were cordial, smart, hard working, soft spoken, and very customer orientated. In short they are a very good representation of the company!"

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."

SolarBees Working Flawlessly –DC, California

"We have 4 SolarBees in our potable tanks. Our potable water system has a 30 MG storage capacity, but we could only utilize about 5 MG prior to the SolarBees. We were always trying to deep cycle, but were limited due to poor water quality. After the SolarBees were installed they doubled and tripled the use of our system. The SolarBees have been working flawlessly."

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."

THMs At Very Low Levels! -JS, California

“The THM System is running fantastic! THM’s are at a very low level and the system has been running without issues.”

SolarBees Are Working Great –DC, Kansas

"The SolarBee machines are working really great, they have never gone out of compliance. We also like that we have a service contract because the crews check on the units and the contract extends the warranty at the same time."

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!"

First Class Company –DR, Ohio

"I must tell you that your company is first class in the way you handle the customers, including the service guys. ALL of them are very responsive and polite and they seem to take their work very seriously!"

Water Clarity Has Been Great –SD, California

"I am sure you can tell from our reports that our water clarity has been great this year. We all really appreciated the nice work of your SolarBee Service Technicians when they were here servicing our units back in January. Their efforts are really paying off for us."

Excellent Support! -BB, Florida

"Thank you for your excellent support!"

Fabulous Customer Service –RS, Oregon

"Fabulous customer service in all respects working with you folks."

Can't Say Enough –VK, California

"We can't SAY ENOUGH about your team and your company. Now, if I could only put the rest of my 60+ pumps and another 60+ motors on SolarBees, life would be great. Thanks so much for the OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!"

Very Impressed –JS, Pennsylvania

"Installation yesterday went great. We were very impressed with the SolarBee employees during the installation."

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."

Your System Works –KR, Arizona

"...For only one week we turned off the GS12-48v. Immediately we had to feed more chlorine because we lost the mixing. Since then it's back online we have better mixing and less chlorine feed. Offline we fed 4 to 10 p.p.d. of chlorine. Online we fed 0 to 4 p.p.d. of chlorine. Bottom line...your system works !"

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."

Energy Savings & Odor Free –RF, California

"Our energy savings were initially a couple of thousand dollars per month. We have approximately 500 HP of aeration available which was running full time prior to SolarBee. Currently it is running about half of the time. The odors in cells 1 & 2 are down and last winter they were "odor free". SolarBee service is A-1."

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!"

No Nitrification Events –JM, California

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

Working Excellent -SG, Arizona

"Our [SolarBee] units are working excellent in our effluent storage basins."

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."

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."
