BioGuard®’s 5 Keys to Pool Care provide the foundation for clean, clear, and safe water all season long. Proper circulation, filtration, cleaning, and regular testing keep your water balanced and your pool equipment protected. When all five work together, pool care becomes easier, more effective, and less time-consuming.
Proper circulation helps distribute sanitizers evenly, making it harder for bacteria and algae to grow. It also pushes debris into your filter for removal. For best results, circulate your pool water during the day for at least 12 hours.
Your filter plays a critical role in removing dirt and contaminants from your water. Backwash it when the pressure rises 8–10 psi above normal, and perform regular chemical cleanings to remove oils and fine debris.
Your filter doesn’t catch everything; some pools have areas with little to no circulation and this is where problems occur. Brush and vacuum your wall and floors at least once a week to catch the debris that your filter misses.
Testing ensures your water stays safe and balanced. Check pH and sanitizer levels 2–3 times a week, especially with frequent use. Bring a water sample to your BioGuard Dealer every 4–6 weeks, and at opening and closing.
Balanced water protects swimmers, equipment, and pool surfaces. Use the right products at the right time as recommended by your BioGuard Dealer. Following a consistent treatment plan helps you maintain sparkling, healthy water all season.
Every 3-5 years assuming the filter is chemically cleaned 2-3 times per season.
