Product Overview

The Hayward TigerShark Robotic Pool Cleaner | RC9950CUB is a professional-quality robotic cleaner designed for residential in-ground swimming pools up to 20' x 40'. Using intelligent microprocessor-based technology, the TigerShark automatically navigates the pool while brushing, scrubbing, vacuuming, and filtering the floor, walls, coves, and waterline.

Unlike pressure-side or suction-side cleaners, the TigerShark operates independently from the pool's circulation system. No booster pump, dedicated cleaner line, or connection to the pool filter is required. Simply connect the power supply to a properly protected 115V outlet, place the cleaner in the pool, and start the cleaning cycle.

Key Features

Complete Pool Coverage

Designed to clean:

• Pool floors
• Walls
• Coves
• Waterline

Intelligent Robotic Navigation

The onboard microprocessor calculates an efficient cleaning pattern to provide thorough coverage of compatible in-ground swimming pools.

Powerful Onboard Vacuum

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

Independent Filtration

The TigerShark collects debris in its own reinforced cartridge filtration system rather than sending debris through the pool pump and filter.

Easy-Clean Cartridge Filters

Simply remove the filter cartridges from the cleaner and rinse them with a garden hose after use.

Energy-Efficient 24V Motor

The external power supply converts standard 115 VAC, 60 Hz input power to 24V DC for efficient low-voltage cleaner operation.

55-Foot Floating Cord

Provides sufficient reach for compatible residential pools up to approximately 20' x 40'.
