Hayward TigerShark

The Hayward TigerShark is a fully autonomous robotic pool cleaner designed for in-ground pools up to 20×40 feet, offering a comprehensive 3-hour cleaning cycle that covers the floor, walls, coves, and waterline. Equipped with an on-board pump, it delivers intense vacuum power to efficiently remove dirt and debris. Its efficient 24-volt motor ensures energy savings and reduced operational costs. The unique cartridge filter system simplifies maintenance by allowing easy removal and rinsing. Notably, the TigerShark operates independently from the pool's filtration system, eliminating the need for extra hoses, hookups, or pumps, and reducing the frequency of filter backwash cycles. Introduced in 2019, the TigerShark is available in various models, including the standard version and the Quick Clean (QC) model, which offers a faster 90-minute cleaning cycle. Prices range from $499 to $699, depending on the model and retailer. ([chainsawjournal.com](https://www.chainsawjournal.com/hayward-tiger-shark-review/?utm_source=openai))
