Description

BioGuard Back Up 2 Algaecide is the most reliable algae preventative available from BioGuard. Its advanced formula provides protection against a broad array of algae growth. It won't dissipate in sunlight and it is effective in higher temperatures, when algae are most active. Its powerful surfactant/wetting agent penetrates even the smallest cracks and crevices, making it a near-impenetrable barrier. Additionally, it causes no pH level shifts, and is non-staining.

Directions

Pre-Treatment Checklist:

  1. Ensure all pool equipment is working properly. Clean or backwash the filter following manufacturer’s directions.
  2. Adjust stabilizer levels to 30-50 ppm by adding stabilizer.

Adjust alkalinity to 80-125 for plaster pools, 125-150 ppm for vinyl or fiberglass pools by adding an alkalinity increaser. Adjust pH to 7.2-7.8 by adding a pH decreaser to lower the pH, or by adding a pH Increaser to raise pH. Adjust calcium hardness to 200-275 ppm for plaster pools, and 175-225 ppm for vinyl or fiberglass pools by adding a calcium hardness increaser.
  4. Check and adjust residual chlorine level to desirable range of 1-4 ppm.
