It's as easy as 1-2-3!
Step 1: Sanitize to kill bacteria
Step 2: Oxidize and clarify for sparkling clear water
Step 3: Prevent algae growth


Step 1
Keep pool water sanitized with BioGuard® SilkGuard Complete™ Stick and Tablets containing SilkGuard® Technology.
​
SilkGuard Technology:
Makes water velvety smooth Protects pool equipment for longer life Prevents metal staining and corrosion Reduces scale formation Softens water *If pump circulation is more than 12 hours per day, Silk Smart Sticks may need to be applied more often than once per week
​
And SilkGuard Complete products contain SmartGuard technology, so that they dissolve slower when water is circulating slower to prevent damage to your skimmer and last longer. They also contain Algae-Killing Crystals for added protection.
Step 2
Keep pool water clear with BioGuard Smart Shockâ„¢ Keeps water sparkling clear Multi-functional product shocks, oxidizes, buffers and clarifies Kills and prevents bacteria growth Unique blue algae-fighting crystals kill algae.
No need to mix or pre-dissolve!
Available in convenient 1 lb. bags and 2 lb. resealable bottles.
​
Unlike other conventional shocks that require 10 hours before swimming, with Smart Shockâ„¢ you can be back to swimming in just 15 minutes!



Step 3
​
Keep algae out with BioGuard Algae Complete®. Specially formulated to work with Silk Smart Sticks and Smart Shock to prevent algae before it starts.
​
Algae Complete combines the preventative power of Back-Up and the advanced algae-killing power of sequestered copper, which won't stain your liner or foam. So, it can be used both as your weekly Step 3, or in larger doses to fight visible algae in your pool
​
Plus, Algae Complete comes in a bottle that will hold enough for an entire season of maintenance doses in most pools and features an easy dosing cap.
