Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the TigerShark QC Expert Line (RC9990CUB)?
This is the W3 generation of the TigerShark QC (W3RC9990CUB) — the updated version of the Expert Line model (RC9990CUB). Both share the same cleaning coverage, cycle durations, and core technology. The W3 designation indicates a newer production run with the same performance specifications.
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 gathering or after heavy use when you need results fast without waiting 3 hours.
Does it clean coves?
Yes. The TigerShark QC cleans coves — the curved transition areas between the pool floor and walls — in addition to the full floor, walls, and waterline.
Does it require a booster pump?
No. The TigerShark QC plugs into a standard 115V outlet and operates completely independently from your pool's pump and filtration system — no hoses or hookups required.
What pool surfaces is it compatible with?
The TigerShark QC is designed for fiberglass, gunite, pebble, and tile pool surfaces.
