Good DO –JH, Louisiana

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!"

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."

Chlorine Usage Dropped 50% –RN,California

"The amount of chlorine usage for the recycled water tanks dropped 50% after the installation of the SolarBees."

Top Notch Service -GN, Arizona

"You're service Techs are top notch. Please relay my thanks."

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

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."

Excellent Water Quality –SB, California

"The SolarBees did a great job when we added chlorine to our chloramine system to keep remaining ammonia in balance and under control.. It extended the excellent water quality period in their reservoirs from 3 days to 2 weeks."

Reduced Electric Bills –JD, West Virginia

"Since the SolarBees were installed, we have seen the best water color in all our years as an operator and our electric bills are a third of what they had been."

We Are Happy -RR, Minnesota

"THM results for the 3rd quarter were about 50% less. We will meet the compliance standards of the Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D/DBPR) without any major capital improvements. My thanks to all of the SolarBee staff. We are a happy customer."

Appreciat Customer Service –JC, Illinois

"We really appreciate your customer service!"

The Sludge Blanket Is Gone –JW, CA

These units don't miss a beat! -PK, Vermont

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. "

Increased DO –JB, Texas

"SolarBee greatly increased DO throughout the reservoir. There have been major increases in wildlife in the area as the water is much more habitable now. We've completely stopped using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our treatment plant. Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and the plant. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years."

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."

Surprised & Amazed -CJ, Minnesota

"To say I am surprised that there was no ice in the three tanks would be an understatement. And the fact we removed virtually all the ice from an iced over tank in three days of running is amazing."
