Ponds Working Better Than Ever –MS, California

"The system is working great/purring along. We are very happy with the sludge reduction, and we are also seeing the DO continue to come up in the ponds. The ponds appear to be working better than they ever have."

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."

Impressed With Results –RY, MA.

"We have been testing the water about once a week since the SolarBees were installed. We are very happy and impressed with the results."

Preventing Nitrification Issues –AW, California

"Our SolarBee units continue to prevent nitrification issues in our large tanks and basically prevent the problems we used to have. We continue to be happy with the machine's performance as well as SolarBee customer service."

Doing Great! -TN, Colorado

Great Results! –JL, Georgia

"We performed a temperature profile 3 weeks after the installation of the SolarBee. The water temperature difference was one tenth of a degree Celsius throughout entire tank (24.1 degree C top, 24.0 degree C bottom). Great results."

Pond Is Looking Good! –LV, Texas

We've Cut Down On Costs –PK, Vermont

"The SolarBee unit we've had in operation since last year has allowed us to cut down on power significantly and even more importantly cut down on service costs to keep operational the surface aerators/aspirators we previous relied on completely. Your factory service and support was the main reason we went with SolarBee instead of Aeromix."

Freshest Water –GD, California

"SolarBee's in our lakes and water tanks puts the freshest water in our glasses."

Lower THMs -PG, California

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

Reaped Rewards –BT, California

"Taking a step forward in technology has reaped a variety of rewards for this Public Utility District. Each of these rewards came about as a result of the district's installing a SolarBee, in each of our six ponds. The estimated savings to the electrical grid will be $113,700 and 855,722 kilowatt hours per year!"

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!"

I Learned A Lot! -JM, Texas

Flawless Operation -LR, Arizona

"[The potable tank] Mixer is operating flawlessly."

Gold Stars Around –KN, Oregon

Built Too Well! –DM, North Carolina

"These Solarbee units just run. You built them too well!"

Very Satisfied –KK, California

"The SolarBee continues to do its job. The water quality people are quite pleased that it has been able to maintain the residual and lack of problems with water quality. I think you could say, yes I am very satisfied."

Consistent Levels Of CL Residual –SC, Michigan

“The levels of chlorine residual have become more consistent after installing the GS-12 mixer. I was having differing chlorine residuals before I started mixing, but now it’s been even out in the system. One sample I pull from a dead end has maintained a real even residual.”

The Best Money You'll Ever Spend –JR, California

“ The $8,000 - $10,000 that you will spend on a GridBee mixer will be the best money you will ever spend. It will solve a lot of your water problems."

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. "

Cleared Up Water –GM, Connecticut

"The water has cleared up so well that we found a missing car in the pond's bottom that was stolen eight years ago."

Substantial Savings –RP, Pennsylvania

"Our constant discharge effluent into a stream is the cleanest it has ever been. Our state no longer requires water samples on the weekends like we had to do before installation of the SolarBees. We have seen substantial savings in electrical energy costs since the SolarBee installation."

No Ice In The Tank –NW, Illinois

"The operator reported last night that within a couple of days there was a 15-foot open water space above the mixer and that as of yesterday there was no ice in the tank. The mixer definitely did its job."

Reduced Algae Blooms –DF, Oregon

"Our algae blooms are greatly reduced. Our pH has increased in stability and we are able to discharge much more of the time. Odors are greatly reduced, especially when we have a spring thaw."

Never Been More Clear –DE, Alberta Canada

"We were just out at the Lake and it has not ever been more clear. We can see the bottom at the end of the dock. In the past few years it has gone a little cloudy by now. I am very excited about this. .....it is all the result of the SolarBees and the addition of the 2nd SolarBee this year has definitely had a positive impact. Thanks again for your ongoing help and support."

Solved Nitrification Problems –JC, California

"The SolarBee units have solved the nitrification problems at both of our installations. We have not had to boost since installation."

Reduced THMs –JL, Nevada

"The SB10000PWv18 mixer has greatly helped to reduce our THMs just with mixing so we are very happy with the benefits of the large machine."

Very Happy With Medora Corporation –SL, California

"We are very happy with your company. Everybody is friendly, informative, and we really enjoy working with you."

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."

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."

Diminished Odor Complaints –LS, California

"The SolarBees in the reservoir are doing a great job. The taste and odor complaints and copper treatments have diminished greatly. The greatest visual impact has been on the reduction of macrophytes. We no longer harvest any weeds at all."

Love It -JG, New Hampshire

"Medora is the greatest to work with. Love it"

Project Success! –AP, Ohio

"We are very pleased with the THM test results to date along with the operation of the SolarBee system. We have attached sheets that includes all THM testing to date. We are extremely happy with the test results for the 3rd quarter. I am now convinced we have a system that will help the village comply with Stage 2 THM rules. Thanks to all that made this project a success!"

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."

Happy With SolarBee –JD, West Virginia

"We have not used diffused air since the SolarBees were installed! We are very happy with our SolarBees."

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."

Ordering Another SolarBee –TM, Alberta Canada

"We are happy with the results in this holding pond. The water quality is much improved since the SolarBee was installed. Because of these results we are ordering a SolarBee for one of our other lakes."

No Nitrification Problems –SA, California

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

Very Satisfied –ML, California

"We are very satisfied with the SolarBees. We now only have to spot treat the pond 2-3 times a year for duckweed in small areas around the edge."

Value SolarBees –JF, Texas

"We value our SolarBees, and we are impressed with their performance."

Dramatic Increase In Lake Clarity –CS, California

"We are very pleased with the SolarBees. We have seen a dramatic increase in lake clarity during the winter months."

Thanks for a job well done! -SG, New York

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you and the crew at Medora. You guys have been very responsive to our many requests and questions. In addition your field crew did a great job installing the mixer. It was impressive to see how careful they were protecting the equipment and materials they hoisted to the top of the tank so they didn't scratch the paint. Thanks again for a job well done."

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."

We Are Tickled Pink –MO, California

"We are 'tickled pink' about the SB10000v12 unit that we just installed in our secondary WWTP. We are already seeing a big difference. They are running very well and we are seeing greater clarity."

Positive Impacts –PH, California

"We are very pleased with SolarBees and their positive impacts on our water system storage facilities. We are very happy with your service."

Professional & Informative –DN, Texas

"We want to take this time to commend your service crew on the work they did on our SolarBee. They were professional and informative. Our staff is pleased; thank you! "

"The SolarBees are working great in our chloramine system. Since the SolarBees were installed we have not had any nitrification problems."

Greatly Improved –PV, Arkansas

"The SolarBee's have definitely reduced the blue green algae in the lake. We are using less carbon since the SolarBees where installed. The lake is greatly improved."

1.5 Years With No Algae Problems –MD, Washington

"Over the last 1.5 years there has not been a blue green algae problem, when before it was a routine problem. The city operator said that if the SolarBees didn't work, he didn't know what else to do except resign." He didn't.

Awesome Crew -DW, Colorado

Greatly Improved –JC, Arkansas

Well Mixed & No Nitrification –MO, California

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."

Good DO –JH, Louisiana

"Last year we went out a few times during the heat of the summer and found good DO and other parameters to the exact depths that the SolarBee intake was set to, and we haven't had a recurrence of hypertrophy since installation. Proof enough!"

It's Been A Pleasure -DH, Florida

THMs Came Down –JV, California

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."

Pleased With The Bees- JB, Colorado

"We are very pleased with the performance of the SolarBees up at the reservoir. It was a much easier autumn thanks to them."

Works Like Clockwork –JT, Colorado

"This year the system worked like clockwork, no problems, no algae blooms. We are sold on the product. Your service is great."

Keeping Ice Off –BK, Arkansas

"The GS-12 is doing a great job keeping the ice off our 420,000 gallon tank."

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."

Less Copper Usage –CK, New Mexico
