Once-A-Week 3-Step Program

You want to spend more time enjoying your pool rather than maintaining it. That's why BioGuard® has developed 3-step pool care programs. Our low-maintenance programs consist of 3 steps:

STEP 1 Sanitize to kill bacteria
STEP 2 Oxidize and clarify for sparkling clear water
STEP 3 Prevent algae growth


This is our most convenient and flexible program. Follow it and it will just take minutes each week to keep your pool water crystal clear and brilliant. Just 3 quick steps and you're done!

BioGuard's Once-a-Week 3-Step Program is best suited for above ground and inground pools with the following characteristics:

  • Up to 25,000 gallons in size
  • The pump circulates 10 to 12 hours a day
  • Good water flow through the skimmer, with adequate skimmer basket area
  • Any surface type

Here are the specifics:

Smart Sticks

STEP 1: Keep pool water sanitized with BioGuard Smart Sticks MBR

  • Extra long-lasting chlorinating sanitizer because Smart Sticks almost stop dissolving when pump is off.
  • Bacteria are killed continuously since Smart Sticks maintain proper chlorinating levels.
  • Smart Sticks are easy on pool surfaces, pumps, filter, and other pool equipment.

  • You get the convenience of NEW 1-pound bags for easy application
  • No need for mixing or pre-dissolving before applying directly into pool water
  • Unlike other shock treatments, you can return to pool water only 15 minutes after application
  • Keeps water sparkling clear
  • Dissolves almost instantly and leaves no cloudy residue

  • It won't evaporate or stain pool surfaces.
  • No need to mix or pre-dissolve so application is easy.
