BioGuard Mineral Springs Renewal Still on Backorder: Temporary Alternatives
Published on  Updated on  

We understand how essential this product is to your saltwater pool care routine, and at Pool Connect, we’re committed to helping you keep your pool clean, balanced, and swim-ready while it’s unavailable.

To support you during this time, BioGuard has released a temporary weekly maintenance routine using trusted BioGuard products that replicate the key benefits of Mineral Springs Renewal.

Why Mineral Springs Renewal Matters

Mineral Springs Renewal is an all-in-one solution that helps:

  • Maintain proper pH levels

  • Protect pool surfaces and equipment

  • Keep the water crystal clear and soft

  • Maintain the right mineral balance

  • Protect the water from UV breakdown

  • Ensure proper salt levels for chlorine generation

Since Renewal covers so many areas of pool care, it’s important to supplement each of these components temporarily.


Temporary Pool Care Routine Without Renewal

Here’s a replacement schedule using other BioGuard products to cover all the functions Renewal provides:

✅ pH Balance

To control the pH increase from salt cell operation, use:

  • ½ lb (8 oz) of BioGuard Lo ‘N Slo per 10,000 gallons weekly

This helps protect your salt cell and prevent calcium scaling.


✅ Stain and Scale Protection

To protect your equipment and surfaces from scale buildup:

  • 4 oz of BioGuard Mineral Springs Stain & Scale per 10,000 gallons weekly


✅ Water Clarity and Feel

To keep your water sparkling and soft:

  • 4 oz of Pool Complete Weekly OR 2 oz of Polysheen Blue per 10,000 gallons weekly

  • 2 oz of BioGuard Optimizer per 10,000 gallons weekly

This combination will maintain that soft, gentle water feel you’re used to with Renewal.


✅ SunShield Protection

To maintain UV protection for your pool:

  • ⅓ oz of BioGuard Stabilizer 100 per 10,000 gallons weekly


✅ Salt Level Maintenance

Proper salt levels are crucial for your salt chlorine generator to work efficiently. To maintain the right salt concentration:

  • Add 1.25 lbs of pool salt per 10,000 gallons weekly

This helps replace the salt lost from splash out, backwashing, and evaporation.
