Pond Champs

Pond Champs Pond Champs is a service oriented company that manages NE Indiana and NW Ohio ponds and lakes. You do not need to be present if this is the case.

We use equipment specifically designed to treat your pond or lake efficiently. Whether it is by a sprayer in a boat or an ATV mounted sprayer, we will always use our equipment responsibly and with consideration for your property. Our philosophy is to integrate a three phase program in order to achieve maximum results with an environmentally balanced efficiency. We integrate mechanical control and

prevention (the use of fountains, aerators and pond dyes), biological control and prevention (grass carp, nutrient reducing bacteria, bio-stimulants), and, finally, chemical control (copper products, algaecides, herbicides). By utilizing these three branches, we are able to maintain an aesthetically pleasing pond environment, which in turn, allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature and ultimately increases the value of the property bordering your pond or lake. We begin your program by measuring your pond via satellite imagery. We do not necessarily need to come out in person to view your pond while building your quote. Our main concern is having access around the entire perimeter of the pond, which we can see online. If we have any concerns about your pond or property, we will stop by on our own time to take a quick peak. Once measured, we then calculate a quote based on the size of your pond. We offer three service packages: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Bronze is for those who just want basic algae control. Silver is our most popular plan, with algae, submerged w**d, and beach/rip rap w**d control. The Bronze and Silver are biweekly treatments throughout the entire season. Our Gold is similar to the Silver, but will switch to weekly treatments from June through the end of August. Our add on services include water quality testing and biological muck removal (Muck Doctor). We also sell aerators and fountains. We achieve excellent results without danger to the aquatic environment, which include the fish, water fowl and frogs. Most of our material allows use of the lake for swimming, irrigation and fishing immediately after treatment. The few restricted materials will always be noted on a red flag posted along the shore of the pond and will be dated with the time and date of treatment. We have a couple options for our customer friendly payment schedule to make our program as accessible as possible.

1) Paying in full. This can be done by card or by check, whichever works best for you.

2) Putting a portion down and signing up with our Auto-Deduct program via card. As little as 20% down can get you signed up and on our schedule. 40% would then be auto-deducted on June 1st and the remaining 40% on August 1st.

All products used during our treatments are aquatic-grade. 🐸🐟🦆

Algae & w**ds need to be present for algaecides & herbicides to be effective. Spraying or broadcasting these products with no growth present will not prevent future growth from occurring. All you need is a little sunlight and water for anything to grow! With a pond being...well, a big puddle of water...growth is only natural! Our services are for managing this growth so you can enjoy your pond all summer long. ☀

Whew, what a week! ☀️

Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we made adjustments this week due to the heat. Our technicians worked so hard to keep a good pace while also trying to stay hydrated and cool! You might say that they worked like a bunch of Champs! 😉

Stay safe and have a great weekend!

Occasionally, toxic blue-green algae blooms make the news, but what exactly is blue-green algae? Blue-green algae blooms are microscopic bacteria that occur naturally on the surface of bodies of water. When environmental conditions are favorable, these bacteria can thrive and multiply rapidly.

Blue-green algae blooms can produce toxins that are harmful to humans, pets, livestock, wildlife, and fish. While many types of algae are harmless, this specific type can affect the nervous system and the liver. Other health effects may include rashes, eye irritation, and gastrointestinal problems. In severe cases, serious illness or death can occur depending on the level of exposure.
One of the best ways to manage the risk of blue-green algae is through awareness and monitoring public health warnings for local waters. People should stay out of affected water and avoid eating fish from those areas. High concentrations of blue-green algae can make swimming and boating hazardous.

Precautions include avoiding contact with visible algae, not swallowing water while swimming, and washing with warm water and soap after contact with untreated bodies of water. Pets and livestock should also be kept away from untreated water.

While a warning can sound scary, blue-green algae is not something we run into very often in our line of work. Awareness is key, especially if you spend time in untreated waters!

Nature will do what nature wants to do, and a pond—even with service—is no exception. All it takes for algae and w**d growth is a little sunshine! While we regularly add “preventative” products to our ponds, growth can still occur between treatments.

Our services focus on maintaining the growth present at the time of treatment. We are committed to helping our customers enjoy beautiful ponds, and we proudly stand by our motto of being leaders in responsible aquatic management.

You don't need to be signed up for season-long services to take advantage of our Water Quality Testing! Reach out to our office for more info.

Water quality is very subjective to surrounding environmental influences. Some of these factors can make for unsafe conditions for using the pond as a potable water source, irrigation, or for activities like swimming or fishing.

With our Water Quality Testing service, a specialized technician will come out to the pond (independently from your pond treatment) and take the required samples for the tests. We test for a variety of potential issues, review the findings, and give you a detailed report on these findings with our recommendations.

Ponds may be in our name, but that is not all that we do! Our lake season is approaching!⚓️🌊⛵️

After identifying your w**ds and algae types, we submit an application to the DNR regarding our findings and what products we intend to use. Once approved, we can then move forward and schedule your treatment(s). Our lake season kicks off in June.
