Ixom Watercare "Gold Star" Customer Comments

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."

SolarBee Believer –TG, Colorado

"Honestly, I consider SolarBee to be one of the finest companies we have worked with in my 30-year career in the power plant chemistry field!" The mixers in our pond work well. I am definitely a SolarBee believer now!"

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.”

Value SolarBees –JF, Texas

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

Cleanest & Best Looking Water –DB, California

"I stopped by the lake yesterday and went around the whole lake looking and some fishing - mostly looking.

Seamless Satisfaction- CM, Massachusetts

"I can’t believe how seamlessly this worked out. This is why we push for you guys on our projects."

Remarkable Engineering –DD, California

"We removed a stick from the SB5000 impeller,and once it was removed the unit went right back to working flawlessly. That was remarkable and a credit to engineering of the SolarBees. Most motors would have burned themselves out. The SolarBee went back to doing what it was designed to do."

Best Purchase Ever –RS, Michigan

Very Helpful –DR, Illinois

"We are very happy with the service since the SolarBee installation. They will stop to check your units anytime they are in your area. They did upgrades at no cost, and have been very helpful in moving the units when needed to get better results. We have budgeted for a SolarBee for our elevated tower."

Amazing Job -RR, Saskatchewan

"Just wanted you to know that the Unit is doing an amazing job. There is no comparison with the clarity of the water at the same time last year."

We've Cut Down On Chlorine –MC, California

"Our city has seen improved residual since installing the GS-12s in both of our 3 MG potable tanks. The residual has improved from 0.2 mg/l to 0.8 mg/l. Due to the higher residual amounts we have cut back on their chlorine usage at the treatment plant. We will be looking at purchasing additional GS-12s in the future too for his other tanks."

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!"

Ponds Working Better Than Ever –MS, California

We Are Thrilled With SolarBee –GC, Arkansas

"We are thrilled with the SolarBee! We were having smell issues this summer. We made a minor adjustment in July where we raised our intake by one foot while we lowered the SolarBee intake by one foot. As soon as this was done, the smell issues went away."

"We are 100% satisfied with the service provided by SolarBee and are impressed with how they went the extra mile."

"Our Secchi depths are ranging 8-10 ft. We are happy with the results!"

No Nitrification Issues –JG, California

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 Customer Service –KE, Florida

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!"

Reduced THMs –JL, Nevada

The Sludge Blanket Is Gone –JW, CA

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."
