BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks - 18 lb

Long-Lasting Chlorinating Sticks for Cleaner, Softer Pool Water

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks are premium stabilized chlorine sticks designed to help keep swimming pool water clean, clear, and comfortable with less day-to-day effort. This 18 lb size is a smart choice for pool owners who prefer a larger seasonal supply of slow-dissolving chlorine sticks, helping reduce refill frequency while supporting consistent sanitization throughout regular pool maintenance.

Formulated with BioGuard’s SilkGuard Technology, SmartGuard Technology, SunShield Technology, and algae-killing crystals, these chlorinating sticks do more than simply sanitize. They help kill bacteria, control algae, protect chlorine from sunlight, reduce scale, and help protect pool surfaces and equipment from corrosion and metal staining. The result is pool water that feels softer, looks clearer, and is easier to maintain when used as directed.

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks are designed for use in compatible pool feeders, floaters, and skimmers, making them a convenient option for routine chlorine maintenance in both in-ground and above-ground pools.

Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks are designed for routine chlorine maintenance in swimming pools using a compatible feeder, floater, or skimmer basket. They are suitable for pool owners who want a slow-dissolving stabilized chlorine product that supports consistent sanitizer levels while also helping improve water feel and protect pool surfaces.

Before use, pool water should be properly balanced. Adjust pH to the recommended range of 7.2 to 7.6, make sure the filter and circulation system are operating properly, and clean or backwash the filter as needed. Chlorine levels should be maintained within the recommended 1 to 4 ppm range.

Do not place these sticks directly on pool surfaces, and do not throw them directly into the pool. Avoid mixing with other chemicals in the same feeder, floater, or skimmer, as chemical mixing can be dangerous.

How to Use

Start-Up Use

If pool water is cloudy or green, superchlorinate first and restore clear water before beginning routine use. Once the pool is ready, add approximately 16 oz, or about 2 sticks, per 10,000 gallons of pool water to a compatible feeder, floater, or skimmer basket. Circulate the water for at least 4 hours, then test and adjust the application rate as needed to maintain a 1 to 4 ppm free chlorine residual.

Routine Maintenance

For regular pool care, add approximately 16 oz, or about 2 sticks, per 10,000 gallons weekly or as needed. Test chlorine levels frequently and adjust the feeder, floater, or skimmer application rate based on pool size, sunlight exposure, water temperature, rainfall, swimmer load, and overall pool use.

Do not re-enter the pool if the chlorine level is above 4 ppm. Always follow the product label directions and local pool care guidance.
