About
Us
We
have assembled a list of Information
& Articles to help pond and lake owners. You can also find
answers to many questions or ask a new question in our Question
& Answer section. The search box at the top of this page can
also help.
We
do not operate a physical retail store, no pickups of orders.
The Pond Report Store ships from various fullfillment warehouses
in Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio depending on the product ordered
and the location of the client placing the order.
We offer Free Shipping on all orders. Shipping
is by Fedex Ground, UPS Ground or Motor Freight for large orders.
Express shipping is available on some orders, contact us if expedited
shipping is required. Most orders will ship out the day after the
order is placed.
The Pond Report experts can assist small pond owners,
wastewater managers, Municipal pond managers, corporate pond owners
in any aspect of aeration, bacterial and chemical additives as well
as beautification. We can assist with layout and design and technical
operational guidelines for large and small aeration systems, dock
bubblers and deicers as well as provide recommendations for fountain
choices and best value purchasing for your organization, group or
business.

ThePondReport.com
is certainly not North America's fastest-growing specialty product
review website, retailer or e-tailer of consumer pond and lake related
products. This is a small group project, nothing serious, we sometimes
ruffle feathers but our goal is to talk about what we love and naturally
make a bit extra money on the side for personal projects and expansion
by selling quality products through various agreements with manufacturers
of products we belive in and would endorse to our own familes. So
far the feedback from clients on our fairly new website has been
very positive from our website visitors and we have visitors from
all around the world. Isn't the Internet great! We're still learning
more and so we appreciate your patience as we grow our website into
something helpful!
ThePondReport.com offers consumers a unique shopping experience
with the latest reviews and references of new pond products, technology
and maintenance products, often at a wholesale price, with a no-pressure,
information-based sales environment. ThePondReport.com is committed
to the environment, kids and communities, supporting non-profit
organizations that help with sustainable growth and management of
resources.
TheThePondReport.com website and e-stores were opened in the fall
of 2006, by a group like-minded individuals, and the goal of this
website and founding-fathers is to create an information based transactional
website where consumers can learn about products and then purchase
certain brands from quality manufacturers that ThePondReport.com
has engaged into partnerships with.
Well....that is the legal definition perhaps...but really we wanted
to have fun and be able to write about what we love best. We all
share a common passion for ponds and that is what we are attempting
to grow. The tallest oak starts from a small seed and over the last
6 years we've taken a few advancing steps forward and a few steps
back. We look forward to the future and thank-you for your time
and support.
ThePondReport.com is committed to continuing to
grow the brand and is looking towards finding other investors and
like minded publishing authors, writers and experts to help create
a larger and more expansive body of information always with the
goal to create wealth through hard work. We will not sacrifice honesty
for financial gain and are commited to maintain a viable business
model while trying to both offer a free service providing information
on pond and lake care for private pond owners as well as industrial
clients dealing with leachate ponds, compost basins, and wastewater
ponds.
ThePondReport.com does not claim to be the ultimate
judge or expert and all reviews offered on this website are not
to be taken as gospel. We belive, despite all our experience, that
the consumer, the person with the money, is the one who should understand
and research before they buy. We are here to help but we make no
further claims or warranties on service or products. All our reviews
and recommendations are based on in-coming knowledge from our list
of contacts and manufacturing practices may cause negative influences
in product effectiveness that we may not be aware of. Please understand
that ThePondReport.com is a labour of love and not an agency like
Underwriters Listing Group or American Standards Association.

ThePondReport
website is owned and operated by a freelance group of "Pond Experts"
who have a total of 103 years of experience between them; almost
as much as The Rolling Stones they sometimes say! Their backgrounds
are all different, from a one-time bus driver turned Koi & Goldfish
afficianado to a Grand-Father who enjoys remote-control helicopters,
yet the one common thread they share is their love of the outdoors
and their appreciation of the beauty of ponds. Before we talk about
our philosphy we'd like to introduce the people who work, in one
way or another, on this website.
Some of you will have met a few of us by phone or email:
Derek has been a private pond consultant for many
years and specializes in assisting his clients find a feng-shui
peace in their outdoor environment. Over the last 20 years he has
worked at two large pond supply and installation firms where he
learned a vast knowledge and was able to personally judge the effectiveness
of many products before starting his own private service for the
clients who appreciated his honesty and helpfullness. He now provides
private pond consultations and helps write articles and reviews
for The Pond Report website, which he co-founded.
Martin is a retired teacher who found his passion
for small water gardens and ponds later in his life. He enjoys macro-photography
of the creatures around his pond. While Martin has no recognized
training as far as aquatics go he has become a legend in his neighbourhood
and with friends for being a wealth of information as far as anything
"pond" is concerned. A friend of Derek, Martin has begun an interest
in The Internet and like to offer help and suggestions to this website.
Jay is one of the principal founders of ThePondReport.com
website with Derek. While a relative newcomer to the world of ponds,
having just finished studies in website technology and a hiatus
of travels throughout Central-Asia, his interest and experience
in the Internet and public relations have made J the "front man"
for the website. Many of you will speak to J directly whenever you
ask a question by email. The vast knowledge of pond issues from
small backyard water gardens to large lakes comes from growing up
with a family of aquatic-biologists and he recalls having named
each of the twelve Koi in his parent's pond as a child.
Samantha has been working in the field for years
and takes many of our emails and helps clients with shipping questions
and answers about our products. Always smiling and in a good mood,
especially when in a canoe, she has worked for a water treatment
plant as a technician as well as a groundskeeper for a golf course.
Multi-talented and always learning she enjoys helping whenever she
can.
Sam spent 12 years as a technician in an aquaculture
supply store where his understanding of pond care and maintenance
quickly made him popular with his customers and clients. He left
the aquatic retail/tech world after deciding to spend time on his
first love which is writing and photography. He currently offers
private consultation services and is employed as a freelance author
for various magazines where he writes on the subjects of outdoor
living, travel and responsible pond management
Andrea completed studies in Environmental Education
and supplies everyone on staff and clients who contact The Pond
Report with a deeper understanding of ecological systems, providing
information to assist citizens to increase their sensitivity and
stewardship for the environment and to better understand the cause
and effect relationship between human attitudes and behavior and
the environment. While all that sound very serious, Andrea is actually
one of the funniest people helping with the website. Mainly behind
the scenes Andrea assures the quality of information provided on
the website and also has a large family who have years of experience
with aeration systems and windmills.
Dominique "The One & Only"
Dave is a customer service guru and sales ninja.
With years of experience in both design, installation and service
of aeration systems and deicing systems he will often respond to
emails and answer the phone to help clients with their projects
and choosing the correct equiptment.
