Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Quick Clean cycle?
The Quick Clean (QC) cycle completes a full pool clean in approximately 90 minutes — roughly half the time of the standard 3-hour cycle. It's ideal for cleaning before a pool party or after heavy use when you need results fast.
What pool surfaces is the TigerShark QC compatible with?
The TigerShark QC is designed for fiberglass, gunite, pebble, and tile pool surfaces — covering the most common residential in-ground pool types.
Does it clean coves?
Yes. The TigerShark QC cleans coves in addition to the floor, walls, and waterline — the curved transition areas between the pool floor and walls that many cleaners struggle with.
Does it require a booster pump?
No. The TigerShark QC is a self-contained robotic cleaner that plugs into a standard 115V outlet and operates completely independently from your pool's pump and filtration system.
How do I clean the cartridge filter?
After removing the cleaner from the pool, access the cartridge filter, remove it, and rinse it thoroughly with a garden hose. Cartridge filters are reusable and should be cleaned after each use for best performance.
