Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

BioGuard Smart Shock is suitable for all pool types when used according to label directions. It is a convenient choice for pool owners who want one shock product that helps sanitize, oxidize, clarify, and support algae control without requiring pre-dissolving.

Before application, make sure pool equipment is working properly, including the pump, filter, skimmer, and heater. Test and balance the water before use. Adjust total alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness according to label directions so the product can perform effectively.

Do not apply through a skimmer or chemical feeding device. Broadcast directly into pool water with the pump and filter running, and brush away any undissolved product from pool surfaces.

How to Use

Routine Weekly Maintenance

With the pump and filter running, broadcast 1 lb of BioGuard Smart Shock per 12,000 gallons of pool water directly into the pool. Apply weekly as part of a routine pool maintenance program. Brush any undissolved product off pool surfaces and allow the pump and filter to circulate after application.

Light Algae Treatment

If light algae is present, vacuum leaves and debris from the pool, then brush visible algae thoroughly with a surface-compatible pool brush. With the pump running, broadcast 1 lb per 12,000 gallons directly into the areas with the heaviest algae growth. Operate the pump and filter continuously after treatment and repeat if needed.

Re-Entry Guidance

Swimming may resume in as little as 15 minutes after application when label conditions are met and the free chlorine level is within the proper range. Do not enter the pool if chlorine is above 4 ppm.
