    Tigershark pro's cons' from real users

    I was happy to sell mine after a 3rd warranty replacement on one of the parts. When you remove it from the pool, the pressure forces dirt from the unit back in to the pool and you will end up running it a few times in a row out of frustration that it hasn't hit a certain spot yet. It's It's...

    Please help me remove this rust and yellow stains - pics

    So as my season will be started soon I thought I would bring this one back up. I still haven't been able to get rid of this. Not with Chlorine tab, not with Vitamin C, assuming I've applied both correctly. Yes you can feel the spot with your finger nail but it can't be rubbed off, it can't be...

    In my case it isn't a vinyl stain, it's on the stairs which aren't vinyl.

    Bringing this one back up, I still have the rust type spots, vitamin c didn't work and rubbing a puck against it didn't work either. Any other options? I don't know if I dreamed this or not, but I remember one service person that thought it could be due to the installers having used something...

    Please help me remove this rust and yellow stains - pics

    Since I have a salt system I don't have pucks around, you think that this something I can buy in a single format? I have that super cocentarted chlorine in granular for when I shock at the start of the season, I'll go by the store and ask but I'm not confident they will sell one puck. Or maybe...

    It won't come off, or in such a small amount that i can't. Measure it, certainly not off when I try to scrape with my fingernail.

    Hi, It didn't work, I doubt it makes a diff but I noticed the pills I had were in chewable format. I tired rubbing the vitamin on the stains, I also rushed a lot of it and placed it in a nylon sock and rubbed that on it but not a dent. Would CLR work on something like this? Not sure what to...

    Please help me remove this rust and yellow stains - pics

    I'll be proactive here, what do I try next if it doesn't work, I'm going to try the vitamin C tonight, just wondering if I could have tried a rust remover like CLR rubbed in to a cloth? How ground up should the vitamin c be? I mean won't it dissolve quickly when I have it submersed underwater...

    Problems with my Poolskim install - Pictures/Video included

    Re: Problems with my Poolskim install - Pictures/Video inclu I remember reading that the slotted type were the best type to use with a Pool skim, even better than the eye ball type, to be honest up until this point I didn't even know how to refer to mine, I know now that they are eyeball type...

    Wow, really, Vitamin C, I never read that before, any particular brand or stength :) I mean something abrasive won't remove these stains, and you can feel the rust, it sticks out but it won't rub.

    Please help me remove this rust and yellow stains - pics

    Hi, I had an inground pool installed about 3 years ago. The stairs have since developed these rust like specs on them, it was there following the first opening after my first winter. I've also had these yellow stains develop on my stairs as well as the jets (you can't see it in the picture), I...

    Problems with my Poolskim install - Pictures/Video included

    Re: Problems with my Poolskim install - Pictures/Video inclu I haven't blocked off any returns, I do have a separate valve for the stairs, so I could knock those ones out at any time. Wouldn't blocking returns affect the circulation of the pool though?

    Poolskim - how difficult and how quick to remove / reinstall

    I would like to buy one, but I have a lot of kids, I often have people over and I don't intend to leave it in the pool from an eye sore perspective and it would be like putting up a target in my family. So how simple is it to remove and put back on? Can I do it from outside the pool? I'm...

    How to get Tigershark QC to re-map pool and other problems

    When I first purchased the Tigershark QC, it didn't move for like 10 minutes or more and I was told it was mapping the pool. I found later in the season I wasn't happy with the performance and then it stopped climbing walls, it has since been repaired. Although after the repair I expected it...
