BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks - 4 lb

Premium Chlorinating Sticks for Softer, Cleaner Pool Water

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks are multi-benefit chlorinating sticks designed to sanitize pool water while delivering added protection for pool surfaces, equipment, and water feel. These blue, compressed, slow-dissolving chlorine sticks help kill bacteria, maintain a steady chlorine residual, support algae prevention, and keep pool water clear without clouding.

The 4 lb size is a convenient option for pool owners who want BioGuard’s SilkGuard Complete stick format in a smaller, easier-to-store container. Compared with large buckets, this size is well suited for seasonal maintenance, feeder or floater refills, smaller storage spaces, or customers who want to use chlorinating sticks instead of traditional 3-inch tablets.

SilkGuard Complete Sticks use BioGuard’s SilkGuard, SmartGuard, and SunShield technologies. SilkGuard Technology helps make water feel soft and smooth while protecting pool surfaces and equipment from scale, corrosion, and metal staining. SmartGuard Technology helps sticks last longer than plain white chlorine products, while SunShield Technology helps protect chlorine from sunlight loss. Added algae-fighting crystals help stop algae before it starts as part of routine pool care.

Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

BioGuard SilkGuard Complete Sticks are intended for routine swimming pool sanitizer maintenance. Product information supports use in compatible floaters, feeders, skimmers, and chlorinators, but users should always follow the product label and the directions for their specific pool equipment.

Before use, make sure pool equipment is operating properly and clean or backwash the filter according to manufacturer directions. Balance 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 sticks directly into the pool. Do not allow the product to contact pool surfaces or materials directly, and do not add other chemicals into the skimmer, feeder, or floater while this product is in use.

How to Use

Start-Up Treatment

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

Published directions commonly reference 16 oz, approximately two sticks, per 10,000 gallons of pool water for start-up treatment. Allow water to circulate for at least 4 hours before testing free available chlorine.

Routine Maintenance

For weekly maintenance, add 16 oz, approximately two sticks, per 10,000 gallons of pool water per week, or as often as needed, to a compatible feeder, floater, skimmer, or chlorinator. Maintain a constant free available chlorine level of 1-4 ppm.

Sunlight, rainfall, water temperature, swimmer load, and pool usage can affect chlorine demand, so check the feeder, floater, skimmer, or chlorinator regularly and refill as needed.
