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."

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

"The unit has been running for approximately one month. The unit was very simple to install. It is keeping everything in suspension and the pumps aren't clogging. We are extremely happy with the AP500 and are going to order a second one."

Even Temperature –KK, California

"The SolarBee is doing what it is supposed to do since the temperature top to bottom is only tenths of a degree different. The chlorine residual only drops about a tenth each month."

Always A Pleasure... -RR, Minnesota

"Always a pleasure to work with a manufacturer that is reachable and willing to help."

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. The sides of the tank are very clean and we are down to about 1/2 to 1 inch of debris in the bottom. It is amazing to look at what is in the tank now, compared to what was there pre-SolarBee. "

Always Running –DM, North Carolina

Very Helpful –DR, Illinois

"We are very happy with the service since the SolarBee installation. They will stop to check your units anytime they are in your area.

Exemplary Service -JB, Oklahoma

"We are having zero problems with the THM removal system in Elkhorn reservoirs, and continually seeing positive results."

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."
