Product Overview

The Hayward TigerShark Robotic Pool Cleaner | W3RC9950CUB is a self-contained robotic pool cleaner designed to scrub and vacuum inground pools with minimal effort. Built with intelligent microprocessor-based technology, TigerShark calculates an efficient cleaning pattern to help clean the pool floor, walls, coves, and waterline.

Unlike suction or pressure cleaners, the TigerShark operates independently from the pool’s pump and filtration system. It includes its own onboard pump for strong vacuum power and a cartridge-style filter system that makes debris removal simple. Just remove the filter cartridge assembly, rinse it with a hose, and return it to the cleaner.

With a 55-foot floating cord, 115V power supply, and standard 4-hour complete cleaning cycle, the W3RC9950CUB is a strong robotic cleaning solution for residential inground pools up to approximately 20' x 40'.

Ideal For

• Residential inground swimming pools
• Pools up to approximately 20' x 40'
• Pool owners wanting a self-contained robotic cleaner
• Floor, wall, cove, and waterline cleaning
• Reducing manual vacuuming and brushing
• Customers wanting no extra hoses or booster pump
• Vinyl, concrete, fiberglass, and tile pool surfaces
• Replacing older pressure-side or suction-side cleaners
• Seasonal pool maintenance
• Automatic pool cleaning with easy cartridge cleanup

Key Features

• Self-contained robotic cleaner — operates independently from the pool pump and filtration system.
• 55-foot floating cord — provides reach for many standard residential inground pools.
• 115V power supply — plugs into a standard compatible outlet through the cleaner’s power supply.
• 24V cleaner operation — cleaner operates on low-voltage power from the transformer/power supply.
• Standard 4-hour cleaning cycle — provides complete cleaning coverage for floors, walls, coves, and waterline.
• Microprocessor-based technology — calculates an efficient cleaning pattern for better coverage.
• Onboard pump system — delivers strong vacuum power to pull dirt and debris into the cleaner.
• Cartridge filter system — easy to remove, rinse, and reinstall for routine debris cleanup.
• No hoses or booster pump required — eliminates many of the extra parts needed by suction or pressure cleaners.
• Track-style traction system — helps the cleaner move across pool surfaces and climb walls.
• Works separately from pool filtration — can help reduce filter load and backwashing frequency.
• Multi-surface cleaning — suitable for many inground pool surfaces when used as directed.

Benefits

The Hayward TigerShark W3RC9950CUB helps make pool cleaning easier by combining scrubbing, vacuuming, and filtration into one robotic cleaner. Because it does not rely on the pool’s circulation system, it can clean while reducing strain on the pool filter and without requiring extra hoses, a booster pump, or complicated hookups.

Its cartridge filter system is easier to maintain than many traditional cleaner bag systems. When the cleaner is finished, simply remove the cartridges, rinse them clean, and reinstall them for the next cycle.

For pool owners who want a dependable robotic cleaner with full-pool coverage and simple operation, the TigerShark is a practical choice for keeping inground pools cleaner with less manual labor.

Installation & Use Notes

The Hayward TigerShark is designed for simple robotic cleaner setup without plumbing into the pool system. Place the cleaner into the pool, allow it to fully submerge and release trapped air, then connect it to the included power supply according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The power supply should be placed away from the pool edge and connected only to a properly protected electrical outlet. Never enter the pool while the cleaner is operating. After each cleaning cycle, remove the cleaner from the water, clean the filter cartridges, and inspect the cord for tangling or damage.

For best results, remove large debris from the pool before running the cleaner and maintain proper pool water chemistry to protect cleaner components.
