Description
Algae Complete is highly effective on the most common types found in swimming pools – basic green algae, the more stubborn mustard variety and even tough black algae.
It can be used as both a preventative and a remedy solution so there’s no need to buy and use multiple products. The two liter bottle provides enough product to keep your water protected over a full season.
Algae Complete® delivers solid results in as soon as 24 hours. Unlike lesser algicides, Algae Complete® will not foam and the copper is chelated, so it can’t drop out of solution and potentially stain your pool surfaces.
BioGuard Algae Complete
- BioGuard’s most complete and best performing algicide
- Dual active ingredients to both prevent and kill algae
- Non-staining and non-foaming
- Can be used with the BioGuard 3-Step Care System
Prevent algae before it becomes an issue.
The addition of algicide is needed for proper pool maintenance. Sanitizers or shock/oxidizers alone may not keep algae at bay and this step is needed to keep your pool completely clear of any growth. This is the third part of the BioGuard 3-Step Pool Care System.
Do all algicides kill algae?
Not all algicides are alike, only algicides that have been approved by the EPA for killing algae actually perform. All BioGuard products have been thoroughly reviewed and proven effective. Various kinds of algae may require different treatments to ensure they are eliminated.

Directions
Prior To Application
- Ensure all equipment is working properly. If necessary clean the filter system.
- Adjust pH between 7.2-7.6
- Establish and maintain proper chlorine or bromine levels. In chlorine-treated pools, add stabilizer to establish a minimum level of 30-40 ppm of cyanic acid to reduce the degrading effects of sunlight on chlorine residual.
- Vacuum leaves and any other foreign debris from pool.
- Brush visible algae thoroughly from the pool’s surface with a surface-compatible brush.
To Prevent Pool Algae

- Thereafter, for weekly application add 1-1/2 ounces per 10,000 gallons of pool water. For two week application intervals add 3 ounces per 10,000 gallons of pool water every other week. Apply more often if pool volume is diluted by heavy rain, frequent backwashing or partial drain/refill.
