Description
BioGuard Algae Complete - 2 Liter
BioGuard Algae Complete is a dual-action swimming pool algaecide designed to help prevent and treat algae with one powerful, easy-to-use formula. Made to control green algae, mustard algae, and black algae, this 2 liter bottle is a strong choice for pool owners who want season-long algae prevention, fast visible algae treatment, and a non-foaming formula that works with common pool care systems.
Dual-Action Algae Protection for Clear Pool Water
Algae can make pool water look green, cloudy, slimy, or uninviting, especially after hot weather, heavy rain, high swimmer use, or inconsistent sanitizer levels. BioGuard Algae Complete helps simplify pool algae control by combining two proven algae-fighting technologies in one product.
Its formula uses both polyquat and copper-based active ingredients to provide broader algae prevention and treatment than single-action algaecides. Use it as part of your weekly pool maintenance routine to help stop algae before it starts, or use the stronger treatment dose when visible algae appears.
Why Pool Owners Choose BioGuard Algae Complete
Prevents and Treats Algae
BioGuard Algae Complete can be used for routine algae prevention or for visible algae treatment. This makes it a versatile pool algaecide for both ongoing maintenance and problem-solving.
Works Against Green, Mustard, and Black Algae
The dual-action formula is designed to control the most common algae problems found in swimming pools, including green algae, mustard algae, and black algae.
Non-Foaming Formula
BioGuard Algae Complete is non-foaming, making it a good option for pools with attached spas, jetted returns, or other features where foam can be a concern.
Chelated Copper for Stain Protection
The copper in the formula is chelated to help keep it in solution and reduce the risk of staining when the product is used as directed.
Convenient 2 Liter Bottle
The 2 liter size provides a larger supply for weekly algae prevention and seasonal pool maintenance, especially for pool owners who want to stay stocked during peak swimming season.
