BioGuard SilkGuard Complete 1” Chlorinating Tablets - 4.5 lb

Multi-Benefit 1-Inch Chlorine Tablets for Swimming Pool Sanitizing

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete 1” Chlorinating Tablets are premium stabilized chlorine tablets designed to sanitize swimming pool water while delivering added water care benefits beyond basic chlorination. These compact 1-inch tablets help kill bacteria, maintain a proper chlorine residual, support algae prevention, and protect pool surfaces and equipment from scale, corrosion, and staining.

The 4.5 lb size is a convenient option for pool owners who prefer smaller 1-inch chlorine tablets for feeder or floater use. Compared with larger 3-inch tablets, the 1-inch format can be a practical fit for smaller feeders, floaters, or pools where a more compact tablet size is preferred.

SilkGuard Complete uses BioGuard’s SilkGuard, SmartGuard, and SunShield technologies. SilkGuard Technology helps create softer-feeling water while protecting pool surfaces and equipment. SmartGuard Technology helps tablets last longer than traditional chlorine tablets, and SunShield Technology helps protect chlorine from sunlight loss. Added algae-fighting crystals help stop algae before it starts as part of routine swimming pool maintenance.

Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete 1” Chlorinating Tablets are intended for swimming pool sanitizer maintenance. Product information describes SilkGuard Complete 1-inch tablets as suitable for all pools, all pumps, and all applications, but users should always follow the product label and the directions for their specific feeder, floater, pool system, and equipment.

Before use, make sure pool equipment is operating properly and clean or backwash the filter according to manufacturer directions. Balance pool water before treatment, including pH and stabilizer levels. Published directions commonly recommend adjusting pH to 7.2-7.6 and establishing a minimum stabilizer level of 30-40 ppm in chlorinated pools to help reduce chlorine loss from sunlight.

Do not throw tablets directly into the pool. Do not allow tablets to rest directly on pool surfaces or materials, and do not add other chemicals into the feeder or floater while this product is in use.

How to Use

Start-Up Treatment

If pool water is cloudy or green, shock the pool with an appropriate pool shock product until the water is clear. Add BioGuard SilkGuard Complete 1” Chlorinating Tablets to a compatible feeder or floater, then adjust the device according to manufacturer directions to establish a free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm.

Routine Maintenance

For routine maintenance, add tablets to a compatible feeder or floater as needed to maintain a constant free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm. Published directions for the 1-inch tablets commonly reference 16 oz, approximately 27 tablets, per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, or as often as needed based on pool conditions.

Testing and Refill Tips

Test pool water regularly and refill the feeder or floater as needed. Sunlight, rainfall, water temperature, swimmer load, and frequency of pool use can affect chlorine demand, so check levels more often during hot weather, after storms, or during periods of heavy swimming.

Why Choose 1-Inch SilkGuard Complete Tablets?

The 1-inch tablet format is a helpful choice for pool owners who want BioGuard SilkGuard Complete technology in a smaller tablet size. These tablets are easy to use in compatible feeders and floaters, especially when a compact tablet may fit the device better than a larger 3-inch tab.
