How Do You Know Which Algicide to Use

When it comes to the four BioGuard algicide products, you may be unsure which one to use and when to use it. In this video and article, David explains everything you need to know.

Algae Killing and Prevention

When it comes to algae, the best thing you can do is prevent it before it becomes a real issue. It’s vital to use algicide in your pool – it’s part of regular pool maintenance.

While you are using sanitizers and shock/oxidizers, they can’t keep algae at bay all on their own. So, you need to use algicide to keep your pool completely clear of any growth. In the three-step BioGuard system, algicide is step three.

You may wonder if all algicides on the market kill algae. The answer is no. There are different types, and only algicides that are approved by the EPA for killing algae actually perform.

You can rest assured that all BioGuard products fit this category, and they are all reviewed and proven effective.

It is worth noting that various kinds of algae may require different treatments to ensure they are eliminated.

There are two types of BioGuard algicides, and we offer four products. There are algae preventatives and algae killers.
