BioGuard Burnout 3 Granular Chlorine Shock 1 lb, 6-Pack — Fast-Dissolving, Algae & Combined Chlorine Oxidizer

BioGuard Burnout 3 is a fast-dissolving granular chlorine shock formulated to quickly eliminate organic contaminants and restore pool clarity.

Designed for straightforward, no-pre-mix application, Burnout 3 delivers a concentrated dose of oxidizing chlorine that targets combined chlorine, algae, and other organics that cloud pool water. Its quick-dissolving granules make treatment faster and less messy than many alternatives, and the formula is compatible with common sanitizers so you can integrate it into routine pool care without compatibility concerns.

How fast will I see clearer pool water after treatment?

Many users notice improved clarity within hours after proper application and filtration, though total improvement depends on contamination level and circulation. Heavy algae or very cloudy water may need repeated treatments plus brushing and filtration time.

• Typically improves clarity within hours under normal conditions.
• Run filter continuously for at least 8–24 hours after shocking.
• Combining with a clarifier or filter cleaner shortens recovery time.

What’s the correct way to add Burnout 3 to my pool?

Broadcast the granules evenly around the deep end or pour slowly into a high-flow return while walking the pool perimeter; avoid dumping concentrated piles. Do not pre-dissolve — Burnout 3 is formulated to dissolve rapidly on contact, but ensure good circulation and wait to swim according to local label safety guidance.

• Shock treatment: 1 lb per 10,000 gallons of water.
• Superchlorination or algae control: 2 lb per 12,000 gallons.
• Run pump and filter continuously after application.

Is Burnout 3 safe for my vinyl or plaster pool and current sanitizer?

Burnout 3 is formulated to be safe for both vinyl and plaster finishes when used as directed, and it works alongside chlorine or bromine sanitizers as part of routine maintenance. Standard precautions—testing chemical levels and following dosing instructions—help protect surfaces and maintain proper sanitizer balance.

• Safe for vinyl and plaster when used per label instructions.
• Compatible with chlorine and bromine sanitizers.
• Avoid over-dosing; test levels before returning to normal use.

How does Burnout 3 fit into a regular pool care routine?

Use Burnout 3 when combined chlorine rises, after heavy swimmer use, or to treat visible algae; it functions as a problem-solving shock within a routine maintenance program. It pairs well with clarifiers and filter enhancers to speed recovery and maintain clear water between regular maintenance steps.

• Use as needed for shock treatments and algae control.
• Works as the second step in the BioGuard 3-Step Care System.
• Follow up with filtration and routine sanitizer monitoring.

Who is this for: Pool owners and service professionals who want a concentrated, easy-to-use granular shock that dissolves quickly, is compatible with common sanitizers, and is formulated for vinyl and plaster surfaces. BioGuard Burnout 3 is especially useful when you need a fast-acting oxidizer to clear cloudy water, control algae, or remove combined chlorine as part of regular pool maintenance.
