Description
Fast-Acting Liquid Chlorine Shock for Clear, Sanitized Water
BioGuard Chlorinating Liquid is a convenient liquid chlorine treatment designed to raise chlorine levels, help kill algae and bacteria, and support clean, clear water. This 1 gallon jug is easy to pour, fast to disperse, and ideal for pool owners who prefer a liquid shock treatment without granular residue or tablet handling.
Made with sodium hypochlorite, BioGuard Chlorinating Liquid works quickly to boost sanitizer levels and remove contaminants that can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, and dull-looking pool water. Because it is calcium free, it will not add calcium hardness to the water, making it a practical option for pools where scale control and water balance matter.
Use BioGuard Chlorinating Liquid for routine chlorination, liquid pool shock treatment, or as needed when chlorine levels are low and water needs a fast sanitizer boost.

Product Details
Compatibility and Requirements
BioGuard Chlorinating Liquid is designed for swimming pool chlorination and liquid shock treatment. It is suitable for all pool types and filter types when used according to label directions, and it can be used with saltwater pools as part of a balanced maintenance routine.
The product title also references spa use. For spas and hot tubs, use only where sodium hypochlorite liquid chlorine is compatible with the spa manufacturer’s instructions and local water-care guidance. Spas have much smaller water volumes than pools, so dosing must be adjusted carefully and verified with accurate water testing.
For best performance, test water before application. Maintain pH between 7.2 and 7.6, total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm, and calcium hardness at the proper level for your pool or spa surface. Always follow the product label and never mix liquid chlorine with other chemicals.
How to Use
Routine Chlorination or Chlorine Boost
Test the available chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Add the appropriate amount of BioGuard Chlorinating Liquid based on current chlorine level, water volume, bather load, weather, and label directions. Apply while the pump is running for proper circulation.
Liquid Shock Treatment
For shock treatment, add the recommended dose in the evening or when the pool is not in use. Pour evenly across the water surface, focusing on the deep end for better mixing. Keep the pump running to circulate the treatment throughout the water.
Dosing Guidance
Retailer guidance indicates that 1 gallon may raise free chlorine by approximately 0.5 to 2 ppm per 10,000 gallons, depending on pool conditions. Because chlorine demand varies, always test before and after treatment and adjust based on the product label.
