Product Overview

The Hayward TigerShark QC Robotic Pool Cleaner | W3RC9990CUB is a premium robotic cleaner designed for residential in-ground swimming pools up to 20' x 40'. Featuring Hayward's exclusive 90-minute Quick Clean cycle, the TigerShark QC provides a fast cleaning option when you need the pool ready without waiting for a complete deep-clean cycle.

Using intelligent microprocessor-based navigation, the TigerShark QC automatically brushes, scrubs, vacuums, and filters the pool floor, walls, coves, and waterline. Its onboard pump and reusable cartridge filtration system allow it to operate completely independently from the pool's circulation system.

No booster pump, dedicated cleaner line, suction hose, or connection to the pool filter is required.

Key Features

90-Minute Quick Clean Cycle

The defining feature of the TigerShark QC is its dedicated 90-minute Quick Clean mode, providing faster pool coverage when a full deep-clean cycle is not necessary.

Complete Floor-to-Waterline Cleaning

Designed to clean:

• Pool floors
• Walls
• Coves
• Waterline

Intelligent Robotic Navigation

Microprocessor-based technology calculates an efficient cleaning pattern to provide thorough coverage throughout compatible in-ground pools.

55-Foot Floating Power Cord

Provides plenty of reach for residential pools up to approximately 20' x 40'.

Powerful Onboard Vacuum

An integrated pump produces strong vacuum performance for collecting dirt, sand, leaves, and other pool debris.

Reusable Cartridge Filtration

Debris is captured inside the cleaner instead of being sent through the pool's main filtration system. The cartridge filters are easily removed and rinsed with a garden hose.

Energy-Efficient 24V Motor

The included power supply converts standard 115 VAC / 60 Hz electrical input to low-voltage 24V DC power for the robotic cleaner.
