Description
BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Chlorinating Sticks are different from traditional chlorine because the SilkGuard Technology softens the water by attaching to hard water components and metal surfaces. This protects your pool surface and equipment from scale, corrosion, and staining while killing bacteria.
SunShield Technology offers protection from sunlight. The SmartGuard Technology helps the tablets last longer than traditional chlorine tablets, and algae-killing crystals help stop algae before it starts.
BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks
- All pools. All pumps. All applications.
- Unique compressed blue sanitizer tabs or sticks that dissolve much slower when the pump is turned off due to our SmartGuard® technology.
- Contains algae-fighting crystals for improved performance
- Can be used with the 3-Step BioGuard Care System
Killing bacteria and preventing algae is a vital step.
Sanitizers are the key ingredients of proper pool maintenance. Chlorine and bromine keep the water clear, protect it from bacteria, and help control algae. They are part of the BioGuard® 3-Step Pool Care System.

Dosage for Routine Maintenance:
16 oz per 10,000 gallons of water per week, or as needed.
Dosage for Start-Up:
16 oz per 10,000 gallons of water.
Directions:
Before you start:
Ensure all pool equipment is working properly. Clean or backwash the filter following the manufacturer’s directions. Adjust pH to between 7.2-7.6. In chlorinated pools, add a stabilizer to establish a minimum stabilizer level of 30-40 ppm to reduce the degradative effect of sunlight upon the chlorine residual. When using other products as outlined in the directions for this product, always follow the directions for those products.
Do not add other chemicals into the feeder or floater when this product is in use. as a fire or explosion may occur. To avoid damage to the pool surface or materials, do not allow the product to come in direct contact with these materials. Do not throw tablets directly into the pool.
Start-Up/Initial Treatment:
If the water is cloudy or green, superchlorinate the pool with appropriate shock products until the pool is clear. Add 16 ounces of this product (approximately 2 sticks) per 10,000 gallons of pool water to the feeder or floater. Adjust the feeder or floater following the manufacturer’s instructions to establish a fee available chlorine level between 1-4 ppm. Allow water to circulate for at least four hours and then test for the free available chlorine level. When the free available chlorine level is adjusted to 1-4 ppm, add the preventative algicide appropriate to your needs.
Routine Maintenance:
Add 16 ounces of this product (approximately 2 sticks) per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, or as often as needed, to the floater or feeder to maintain a constant free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm. Sunlight, rainfall, temperature, number of swimmers, and frequency of pool use affect the rate of chlorine residual loss, so check the floater or feeder often and refill as needed.
Re-entry into treated swimming pools is prohibited when free available chlorine levels are above 4 ppm due to risk of body injury.
