My Review 

With our new home came a pool for us to learn how to take care of. Being from Colorado, this is not something I am familiar with at all, so it can seem a bit daunting! I tried a TigerShark from Hayward to help us take care of the pool and I am so far beyond impressed! If you are not familiar with Hayward, they make all sorts of products for pools, vacuums, filters, etc, as well as robotic pool cleaners, such as the TigerShark.

But, I cannot rave about this TigerShark enough! We inherited a less-than-stellar in-ground pool, as the previous owners neglected to properly take care of it. So, with the help of the TigerShark, we have been able to resurrect it to its former glory.

How do you use it? It is so simple -- just place it in your pool and plug it in. The Tiger Shark roves the bottom of the pool once you set the cleaning mode, and literally sucks up anything undesirable. It can go up and down walls and all along the sides and bottom of the pool. When the cleaning mode is done, it is really easy to take it out and remove the filter. I was a little frightened by all it was able to glean out of my pool, but the filter was able to wash clean to be reused again and again.

I don't know how we could have had a pool without the TigerShark, as it has made it almost effortless to maintain. It has helped us so much!

You can order your own TigerShark (trust me, you want this if you have a pool!) and purchase one that fits your needs, based on the type and size of your pool, online at Hayward.

Hayward's Tiger Shark is a Macaroni Kid favorite!
