Every pool owner has algae problems at some point in the life of their swimming pool.

This is where we can't stress enough the importance of algicide! Algae Complete® from BioGuard is a dual-action formula that provides a wide spectrum of algae-killing abilities. This unique chemical combines the proven powers of polyquat and copper-based active ingredients.

It’s highly effective on the most common types found in swimming pools:

- Basic green algae,
- The more stubborn mustard variety
- Tough black algae

You can use it as both a preventative and a remedy solution, so there’s no need to buy and use multiple products. The value-sized 72 oz. bottle provides enough product to keep your water protected over a full season.

Algae Complete® delivers solid results in as soon as 24 hours. Unlike lesser algicides, Algae Complete® does not foam, and the copper is chelated, so it can’t drop out of the solution and potentially stain your pool surfaces.

Check out this video for more info.

## Final Thoughts on Algicide

We encourage you to be proactive when fighting algae. Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you shouldn't try to prevent it.

Stop by for your bottle today and enjoy an algae-free pool!
