Product Description
BioGuard Back Up Algaecide is BioGuard's most effective algae preventative. The highly effective formula prevents wide variety of algae growth. It's stable in sunlight and will not evaporate. The activity of this product increases as water temperature rises, which is when you need protection the most. Back Up has a powerful surfactant/wetting agent, which makes it able to work in the tiny cracks and crevices where algae starts. This product will not affect pH levels and is non-staining.

Never had a green pool

I have never had a green pool while using this product. You might think it is expensive but it is not. Some algaecides you buy use a gallon, you use 2 oz on this. The gallon of algaecide on other brands can cost almost ten dollars. Use this, you don't need to use as much and it's more powerful than the gallon ones. If you use this product every week and do what the label says you will never have algae in your pool again.

This is an excellent product in keeping algae build up from occuring. It is the 3rd step of the Bioguard 1-2-3 step process and it works!
