Features of the Hayward RC9740 SharkVac 

CLEANING PERFORMANCE

The Hayward RC9740 SharkVac starts its work immediately once you drop it into the pool. It calculates the size of your pool in order to determine the most efficient and effective routine.

Also, the debris stays in the filter cartridge until you empty, so there’s no hassle messing with a net or dirt falling out of the net. You can easily access to the debris chamber from the port on top.

OUT-OF-WATER SENSOR

This cleaner uses an out-of-water sensor that safeguards the motor by not permitting it to operate when it’s removed from the pool. It also uses a beach entry sensor that detects when the robot is climbing out of the water, in this case, once detected, it has time to turn around and continue its cleaning cycle.

QUICK-CLEAN TECHNOLOGY and PROGRAMMABLE

The cleaner comes with the quick-clean technology, this is used if you wanted to shorten the cleaning period of your robot.

Moreover, the cleaner has a programmable cleaning cycle, you can set the cleaner to clean the pool overnight or early in the morning, whichever you like.

EASE OF USE & DURABILITY

The product can be used straight from the box. This means that this robot no longer needs any installation in your pools pump and no tool required. Just plug and let it play around your pool.

Also, the cleaner runs separately from the pool pump and pool filter, so you never have to worry if it’s compatible and will work with the pool pump you own.

In addition, the robot comes with an easy top-access to filter cartridge. In this case, no more bags, just simply remove and wash down with a garden hose.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

As mentioned, this robotic cleaner uses 94% less energy compared to most traditional pools. This means that this robot helps you save even more. This is highly convenient, as you will manage to lower the energy costs and help preserve the environment as well.

Benefits

• Works well in all types of pool surface
• Can work both in-ground and above-ground pools
• Booster pump nor hoses are no longer required

Needs Improvement

• No swivel in cords which makes the cord prone from tangling

CONCLUSION

Well, as you can see, the only areas that need improvement for the Hayward RC9740 SharkVac is that the caddy is optional and that it has no patented swivel. Many pool owners dislike robotic cleaners that do not have an anti-kink cord. Cleaning is not easy if you keep checking the cleaner if it is working well. If you agree, then you may not like this robotic cleaner.

However, if you are on its overall performance, plus the fact that this cleaner can climb walls, then the long wait is over. Well of course, this wall climbing feature will depend upon the layout of your pool of course. That’s why it is very important to check for the proper steps in choosing your perfect robotic pool cleaner. Overall, with an affordable price with efficient cleaning performance, it’s a thumbs up for me.
