BioGuard 3 Inch Silk Tabs

Product Information

BioGuard Silk Tabs and Silk Sticks are revolutionary new products exclusive to BioGuard and the first sanitizer made with SilkGuard Technology. These products differ from traditional chlorine because their special additives actually soften the water by attaching to hard water components and metal surfaces, which protects your pool equipment from scale, corrosion and staining, all while killing bacteria. These slow dissolving sanitizers contain SunShield Technology so that chlorine is protected from sunlight for long-lasting sanitation of pool water.

Sunlight, rainfall, temperature, number of swimmers, and frequency of pool use affect the rate of chlorine residual loss so check the floater, feeder or skimmer often and refill as needed.

Silky Smooth Water - Worth the difference
I had been purchasing product from a low-cost pool dealer for years, and my pool was always a bit of a challenge. Once I went on the 3 step program with BioGuard, I have not had an issue once. The Silk Tabs do two really amazing things that I have noticed: 1) they really do make the water feel so much better on my family's skin and 2) I live in a very hard water area in Minneapolis, and they do a much better job than any other product at cutting down the scale build up on my pool, pump and filter. It really is amazing. The standard 3" tablet that I used to buy never did seem to do the trick, and now with Silk Tabs, my chlorine levels are always predictable. Makes we wonder what was in those white tabs! Not chlorine!
