BioGuard SoftSwim Filter Cleaner

SoftSwim Filter Cleaner

Pools on the BioGuard® SoftSwim® System maintain superior clarity due to SoftSwim’s ability to take out dirt, oils and solids from the water and deposit them on the filter.  Therefore, it is critical that SoftSwim filters be chemically cleaned when opening and closing the pool and every six weeks during the swimming season.  Clogged filters can seriously reduce water flow through the filter resulting in hazy or cloudy water.


  • The single-most important specialty product for preventing cloudy water and allowing filters to operate at peak performance.
  • Uniquely formulated to work with any filter type, it helps remove particles specific to the SoftSwim chemistry.
  • It further allows for improved circulation and water clarity by removing dirt, oils and deposits from the filter.

NOTE: We strongly urge you to chemically clean your filter with SoftSwim Filter Cleaner every four to six weeks.
