Silk Tabs and Silk Sticks should be used with these BioGuard Care Systems: Once-A-Week 3-Step. DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Initial Start-Up:
Consult your BioGuard dealer for initial water balance and start-up procedures. Ensure that pool equipment is operating properly. Backwash according to manufacturer’s directions and clean filter using Strip Kwik® and/or Kleen It® as necessary. Add Stabilizer 100 to establish a minimum level of 30-40 ppm. Shock pool water with BioGuard Smart Shock to obtain a chlorine level of 1-4 ppm. Add initial dosage of BioGuard Back-Up or BioGuard Algae All 60 algicide per label directions to prevent algae. When using other products as outlined in directions for this product, always follow directions on those products. With the pump operating, add one BioGuard Maintain Silk Smart Stick to the pool skimmer basket for each 5000-7000 gallons of water or a portion thereof. Divide number of sticks evenly for pools with multiple skimmers. Pool circulation must continue for a minimum of 10-12 hours to form the protective skin that reduces the erosion of the BioGuard Maintain Silk Smart Stick.
Routine Maintenance:
Test pool water periodically. Maintain pH of 7.2-7.6 and chlorine level of 1.0-4.0 ppm. At least twice a season, have your BioGuard dealer analyze for total water balance.
About once a week with pump operating, add one BioGuard Maintain Silk Smart Stick to the pool skimmer basket for each 5000-7000 gallons of water. Pool circluation must continue for a minimum of 10-12 hours to form the protective skin that reduces the erosion of the BioGuard Maintain Skil Smart Stick. Shock pool with BioGuard Smart Shock per label directions and add maintenance dosage of BioGuard Back-Up or BioGuard Algae All 60 algicide per label directions to prevent algae.
Operate pool recirculation system a minimum of 10 hours per day. Adjusting the hours of pool recirculation or the number of sticks added to the skimmer helps to regulate the sanitizer level.
After four applications, you will experience the full benefits of softened water and equipment protection from SilkGuard. The number of sticks and frequency of addition will vary with the number of swimmers, water temperature, rain showers and pump oerating time. You should begin with the one stick per 5000 gallon rate for heavy bather loads or elevated water temperature.
