Reduced Cyanobacteria Counts –BC, Massachusetts

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."

The SolarBee Made It Through The Hurricane, Thoroughly Impressed- SP, Florida

On September 10th, 2017, Hurricane Irma (known here un-affectionately as Big Irma) blew at a recorded 142 mph very near our SB10000. On September 12th I drove by the SB10000 location and noted that the machine had dragged its moorings a few dozen feet toward the west but was still operating as if nothing happened. I have to say how thoroughly impressed I am with the design and quality of your product.

Best Company- MD, California

Gold Stars Around –KN, Oregon

Simple To Install –CR, Connecticut

No Icing Problems –SC, Michigan

"Our tower is too small to lower the level much during the winter. Because we use the height of the water for pressure, we need to keep it as full as possible. Plus, lowering the water level compromised fire flow capacity. As a result, ice cakes were formed in the tank every winter. After installing the GS-12 mixer, I was able to keep the tank full during the winter with no icing problems."

Should Have Started With SolarBee –KG, Colorado

"We should have went with a SolarBee to begin with." (A competitive product was removed and replaced with SolarBee.)

Great Results! –JL, Georgia

Happy To Be A Reference –GC, Arkansas

" If you ever want to use us as a reference, I would be happy to talk with anyone of our customers. Last year around January/February we were seeing 40-50ug/L (THM readings), this year we are seeing 20-30ug/L. The real test will be known this summer. But, as soon as our larger tank is built, we intend to put another THM System in it as well. We are very happy with Medora Corporation and the SolarBee Performance!"

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!"

No Nitrification Issues –JG, California

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 !"

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 Are Thrilled With SolarBee –GC, Arkansas

SolarBees Helping Make It –PL, Alberta Canada

"We are operating way beyond our design limits and without the SolarBees, would never have been able to make it."

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."
