Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

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."

Water Clarity Is 8 ft –MW, California

"The water clarity is 8 ft; that's awesome! We would be happy to serve as a positive reference for SolarBee."

Fantastic! -GT, Alaska

"The SolarBee in our lake worked fantastically. It is a well designed and engineered machine."

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."

Superb, Detailed, & Rare -OT, California

"Just wanted to say an incredibly big thank you for the superb customer service and attention to detail. It is so rare for us to have that type of service from vendors that we work with, it really sets Medora Co apart."

More Than Pleased -SC, Massachusetts

"We have been more than pleased with your product as well as the customer service we have received."

Very Happy –DM, California

"We are very happy with the performance of the SolarBee in our tank. We would be happy to serve as a positive reference for both SolarBee performance and service."

Very Satisfied -SS, California

"Overall we have been very satisfied especially with your customer service!"

Well Mixed Tanks –CB, California

"The SolarBees do an excellent job and the tanks are very well mixed. They test uniformly throughout the reservoirs."

Excellent Water Clarity –JS, Massachusets

"We have excellent water clarity this year - so far better than any recent year for mid-July. There are lots of happy neighbors."

Met Expectations –MM, California

"Our THM system is working very well and has met our expectations."

Special Service -JL, Georgia

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

Less Than Three Year Payback –JN, Georgia

"We based everything on a conservative assumption for a 50% reduction in chemicals used to treat the BGA and associated T&O. At a 50% reduction we looked at a 8 year payback. In reality, we were very surprised by being able to reduce the chemicals by 90% which gave us less then a 3 year payback. This is not the norm for the water treatment industry. Usually we look at 10, 15, or 20 year returns on investments. Solar Bees is one of those products that does exactly what we needed it to do and what the engineers at Medora said they would do. It out-performed everyone in our organization's expectations."

Professional & Knowledgeable Crew –DS, Pennsylvania

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

Excellent Service & Support –BJ, Georgia

"Please thank SolarBee for their excellent service and support. Your staff is very professional and competent."

Improvements Across The Board –HR, California

"Our new solar powered SolarBee mixer has been an improvement across the board with the new technology: better water quality, lower maintenance and no electricity is required."

Solved Problems –RL, California

"SolarBees have solved our dimethyl mercury problem."

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."

No Nitrification Problems –SA, California

"We have had no nitrification problems for the first time in 10 years in tank #6."

Water Clarity Record –SDA, California

"Most notably, I measured a new record water clarity level in our Lake of 25' on Friday, September 25th, 2015."

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. "

No Worries -DF, New York

"Everything has been good this year with the system [SolarBee® Potable Tank Mixer]. It sure is nice not to worry about the tank anymore."

We've Cut Down On Chlorine –MC, California

"Our city has seen improved residual since installing the GS-12s in both of our 3 MG potable tanks. The residual has improved from 0.2 mg/l to 0.8 mg/l. Due to the higher residual amounts we have cut back on their chlorine usage at the treatment plant. We will be looking at purchasing additional GS-12s in the future too for his other tanks."

No Algae Or MN Issues –VS, California

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

No Complicance Issues –J, Arizona

"Although we had one of the three tanks down for cleaning / coating during the summer, with only two tanks operating taking all of the demand, the Medora THM Removal Systems performed well; did not have any THM concerns or compliance issues during the summer."

Best Secchi Measurements In Years –AW, Massachusetts

"We had a very good summer, best Secchi disk measurements in many years (1.5m). Looking very good."

Best Water –DE, Alberta Canada

"The water is the best it has been since we installed the SolarBee!"

Excellent Support! -BB, Florida

"Thank you for your excellent support!"

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."

Pond Is Looking Good! –LV, Texas

"Our pond had been suffering from filamentous algae. After the new GridBee units were installed the filamentous algae started bunching up and dying off quickly. The water in the pond is really looking good!"

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."

Algae Reduced 50% –JS, California

"This summer the filamentous algae in our 1.3 acre, raw water storage pond was reduced to 50% surface coverage. Before the SB1250V12 was installed, the filamentous algae would normally cover about 75% of our pond's surface during peak summer months."

Haven't Added Copper –KC, Arkansas

"We were adding 600-700 lbs of copper sulfate per week from June through September before the SolarBees were installed. We haven't added any copper sulfate since the installation."

We Appreciate It! -AW, Arizona

"Thank you very much for the quick response. You guys are quick & easy to work with and we appreciate it!"

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."

Lower THMs -PG, California

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

Wonderful Service & Support –DH, Louisiana

"SolarBee has provided wonderful service and support. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with such professionals."

Extremely Professional –AG, Texas

"I wanted to start off by saying how impressed we were with everyone involved with the installation and start up of the units. The entire staff that we dealt with were extremely professional and provided us with a great deal of information on the units. Please pass that on to everyone involved."

The Crew Works Hard –MV, New Mexico

"The crew arrived this morning had the installation completed by early afternoon. I compliment them on their hard work and professionalism. Anyone else would of stopped work because of the rain, not them. I really appreciate what they did for our installation."

Eternally Grateful –RL, California

"Our reservoir has two SolarBees which seem to be solving our dimethyl mercury problem. I am eternally grateful."

Greatly Improved Water Quality –EJ, Florida

Lift Station Amazement -SE, Oklahoma

"The station is almost completely cleaned from standing debris or build up grease. This is the fastest I have ever had that much grease emulsify."

Extremely Pleased –HR, California

"It's good to hear from SolarBee. The SolarBee in our lake has been great and we are extremely pleased with its performance and we shared this with our board of directors."

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."

So Easy To Work With –RC, Coldorado

"It's been a pleasure working with this company over the years. You have been easy to work with and all the crew members have been top-rate and very professional."

Doing A Great Job –AK, Colorado

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 !!

Summer Is Going Great! –W, Colorado

"Summer is going great! Water quality is good. We had secchi depths to the bottom in June. We are starting to get our "pond biology" back (i.e. fish, frogs...) We are very happy with the operation of the SolarBee, customer service and contact capability."

Reduced TOC –GT, Colorado

"We are very happy with the installations of the five SolarBees in the reservoir. SolarBees have reduced the TOC component in the lake which in turn has reduced the need to replace the carbon in the contactors in the water plant."
