Product Overview
The Hayward SharkVac® W3RC9740CUB Robotic Pool Cleaner is designed to provide efficient, independent cleaning for residential in-ground pools. Built with smart steering technology, this robotic cleaner scrubs and cleans pool floors and coves while collecting dirt, sand, leaves, and everyday debris in easy-to-access top-load filter cartridges.
Unlike suction-side or pressure-side cleaners, the SharkVac® operates independently from the pool pump and filtration system. It does not require a booster pump, suction hose, dedicated pressure line, or connection to the skimmer. Simply plug the cleaner into its power supply, place it in the pool, and let it run its cleaning cycle.
