Great To Work With –WK, South Dakota

"Your crew arrived early today. They were really great to work with."

Improved Circulation & Resolved Stratification –RN, California

"We have seen the benefits of the installation of the SolarBees in our storage facilities. It has definitely improved circulation inside these potable storage's and solved the stratification problems we have been experiencing."

Great Results -TN, Colorado

"The mixer has worked so great for us that we would like to order another one."

Substantial Energy Savings –AC, Connecticut

"We are very satisfied with the SolarBee mixing in our tanks. We have experienced substantial energy savings by going with green technology that SolarBee has provided."

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."

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."

Impressed –VQ, North Carolina

Good Customer Service –JM, Vermont

"Not only does your company have fine products, but every person we deal with at your company does a great job!

Saved Thousands –PR, Michigan

We Are Tickled Pink –MO, California

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. "

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!"

Very Impressed –CV, Tennessee

"We attended the SolarBee installation and were very impressed. We enjoyed being able to view the installation first hand.

Their professionalism on site was impressive and we cannot thank them enough for making our experience a pleasurable one."

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."

"We love what our SolarBees have done to the lake! The oxygen levels have increased substantially, and the odors are mostly gone."

Over 30 SolarBees –MH, California

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."

Medora Corporation Is Reliable –TM, California

"I know I can rely on Medora Corporation. Their attention to engineering detail is exceptional. We can really see the time and effort they took in developing their GridBee THM reduction unit. Nobody else on the market thinks about these things; it's well beyond what anyone else would have done."
