Best Company- MD, California

"Medora Corporation is the best company I have dealt with in my 23 years with the city."

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."

Lake Water Looks Great! –PT, California

"Just want to say thanks: the lake water looks **great**! That SolarBee is working. I wanted you to know we really appreciate it."

THMs At Very Low Levels! -JS, California

Gratitude For Crew –JL, Nevada

"We are pleased and everything is going well. We have not had to use copper sulfate since the SolarBee was installed!"

Clear Enough To See The Bottom –JC, Oregon

"This is the first summer in quite a few years that I have been able to take my kids swimming up here. Normally at this time of the year there are green balls of gunk floating around. The shoreline is pretty clean this summer. In the past the lake had stinking moss on the edges and now the water is clear enough that I am able to see the bottom off the dock."

Great Job Circulating –BW, Illinois

"The SolarBees are doing a great job of circulating the water and eliminating the thermocline!"

Wish Other Vendors Were Like SolarBee –AC, Connecticut

Thank You For The Hard Work –AP, Ohio

"Just wanted to share with you our current THM results. Since installing the spray system our results always run below 70 ppb and most of the time around 50 ppb. Also, just want to say again, thank you, for the hard work all of you have provided NB in solving our THM troubles."

No Nitrification –DO, California

"The SolarBee has been working great! We did not have nitrification this past summer for the first time in 10 years."

Many Thanks –RR, Nevada

"As I mentioned over the telephone today, I want to thank you for the work completed by your crew at our water treatment plant storage tank. The new float system for the sprayer is much appreciated along with the time and effort put into the transfer of the control box for the mixer. Please let the crew know that I appreciate their work. Many thanks to the folks at Solar Bee!"

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."

Fast Response –MC, California

"We loved the fast response. Installation was quick and easy."

No complaints! -PM, Colorado

Significant Energy Cost Reduction –KL, Arizona

"The SolarBee units are working very well. They reduced our energy costs significantly and they improved their BOD reduction from 65% to 85%."

Reaped Rewards –BT, California

"Taking a step forward in technology has reaped a variety of rewards for this Public Utility District.

The estimated savings to the electrical grid will be $113,700 and 855,722 kilowatt hours per year!"

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."

THMs Came Down –JV, California

"We are very happy with the results of the GS-12 mixers we installed, one in each of our 600,000 gallon tanks. We previously had high THMs in these tanks. The THMs came down considerably and we are very happy with the results."

No Ice In The Tank –NW, Illinois

Decreased Chemical Usage –JB, Texas

"Our staff is very pleased with the performance of this system, especially with the overall decrease in chemical usage at both the reservoir and Plant #1. The SolarBee will pay for itself in roughly 2-3 years!" We've completely gotten away from using copper sulfate at the reservoir, and we've also noticed a gradual decrease in the amount of chemicals we've needed to use at our Plant #1." I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our SolarBee that you set up at our raw water reservoir."

We Appreciate It! -AW, Arizona

"Thank you very much for the quick response. You guys are quick & easy to work with and we appreciate it!"

Very Happy –TC, California

The Heat Is On -ND, Pennsylvania

"The tank heater we installed is running good and keeping the tank temperature above freezing."

Dramatic Decrease -PD, Massachusetts

Down To 182Hp/day –AK, Oregon

"Right now we are down to an average of 182Hp/day. Our baseline when the project started was 568Hp/day. The initial estimates were for a reduction of 35.2% and we are down 68%. We started reducing aeration and by Oct. 2010 we were at 330/day. By July 2011 we were at 214/day and now we are at about as low as we want to go."

Best Water Quality Ever –JM, California

"We have had the best water quality in our lakes ever! We give the credit to the SolarBees."

Solving Our Problems –MM, Indiana

"The SolarBee's are solving our problems. Ammonia and BOD levels are good."

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."

90% Ice Gone –DG, New Hampshire

"We are extremely pleased with the SolarBee unit's performance this winter especially in regard to the shore power backup. They kept our units running flawlessly all winter long. Our ice is about 90% gone."

Greatly Improved -DS, Colorado

"Heavy algae growth was frequently plugging off the filters. Now the filter plugging is greatly reduced and the [AerationPlus©] AP1800 has greatly improved the water clarity."

Very Appreciated! –DC, Minnesota

"Thank You for the complimentary service. We don't know of anyone that comes out at the time when the warranties expire and replaces worn components to assure optimum life. Very generous and appreciated!"

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."

Doing An Awesome Job –SH, California

"The Solar Bees are doing an awesome job. I as a homeowner am so glad the association invested in your product. Wow, what a difference it has made in the water quality!"

Impressive Crew –JL, Georgia

"There is less than one degree of temperature difference throughout the entire tank. The professionalism of the installation crews and their commitment to safety while on the job site is impressive."
