Summary

The SharkVac is Hayward’s newest innovation to the TigerShark family of Robotic pool cleaners.

Cleans any pool

The SharkVac was created to work in any pool size or contour. Once you lose it into the pool, the cleaner automatically computes the size and calls the most effective cleaning pattern. There’s additionally a Fast-Clean attribute that lets the cleaner do a place cleaning job in 1 hour. Better still, the unit simply uses up as much as energy as a conventional light bulb. An automatic 2-hours cleaning cycle is put in the tool, so if your pool is cleaned before the cycle is stopped, you can turn it off manually.

Simple-access filter cartridges

Debris and filter cartridges are easily removed from the SharkVac without turning the cleaner upside down. To clean it, open the big top cover to reach the removable filter cartridge. Washing the filter with a garden hose spray nozzle should be enough.

Easy to use right out-of-the-box

The SharkVac offers another advantage: it’s ready to use right from the package. It does not need tools, hose attachments nor a connection to your pool’s pump. In the long run, this saves you money since the upkeep related to those added tools is entirely removed.

Owner Reviews

Most owners of the SharkVac like the features and easy-going nature of this pool cleaner. The 2 crucial characteristics commended by owners over and over again include its automatic pool size detection and low maint. expense.

Drawbacks

The only drawback is the power cord. The manual instruction proposes users to lift the cleaner from the pool by pulling the cord. The unit is extremely heavy, however, so the line can wear if you do that.
