All Pool Tiger, Spa Tiger, and Pond Tiger units come with a 5-year non-prorated total replacement warranty.

No. While Pool Tiger significantly reduces the need for chlorine and other chemicals when the pool pump operates according to our recommendations, the risk of an extreme and unforeseen contaminant infestation is always present. Therefore, we recommend that Pool Tiger owners maintain a minimal residual amount of chlorine or bromine in their pools for safety reasons.

Every pool is unique, so it would be impossible to create a precise chlorine reduction guide that applies to all pools. Generally, you will want to reduce your chlorine level gradually. The key is to watch for discoloration due to algae or other contaminants. The goal is to maintain enough chlorine in your pool to prevent this discoloration, but no more. If you notice discoloration, temporarily increase the operating time of your pump, slightly raise the saturation rate of your chlorinator or salt cell, use an electrical shock as needed, or a combination of these measures.

Yes. Pool Tiger performs the same functions in saltwater as it does in non-saltwater pools.

No. Installation instructions are included with each Pool Tiger sold. Installing a Pool Tiger is a relatively simple process if there is sufficient space in the return line. Otherwise, creating a loop may be necessary, which slightly complicates the process. However, we must warn that any deviation from the installation instructions that results in damage to the unit may void the warranty.

Pool Tiger comes with a 5-year automatic replacement warranty, which can be extended to a limited lifetime warranty by simply registering your purchase with the company. Pool Tiger is a solid-state unit with a durable impact-resistant thermoplastic housing. As a self-cleaning unit, it has no moving parts that wear out or break. Original prototypes installed over 20 years ago are still delivering the same results as when they were new.

Disinfectant chemicals added to pools often contain acids or interact with water to form various acidic compounds. These acids generally have a corrosive effect on equipment and finishes. Mineral buildup can impair the proper functioning of equipment, shortening its lifespan. Pool Tiger reduces the need for disinfectant chemicals, keeps acidity levels low, removes existing buildup, and prevents new accumulation from forming.

No. Although the Pool Tiger process generates heat, the unit’s chamber is designed to dissipate it. When the treated water returns to the pool, it is only slightly warmer—one or two degrees at most—than the existing pool water, which quickly absorbs and dissipates the remaining heat. In an unheated pool, sunlight and ambient air are the primary factors affecting pool temperature.

None at all.

While Pool Tiger simplifies maintaining proper water balance, pool chemistry can still be quite complex. Pool maintenance technicians are trained to understand pool chemistry to ensure that contaminants do not affect the health of pool users. Additionally, Pool Tiger does not eliminate the need for basic pool maintenance, such as skimming, emptying baskets, cleaning filters, checking pool equipment, and performing minor repairs.

While the chances of a Pool Tiger being damaged under normal circumstances are very low, if your unit is damaged due to normal handling and operation while under warranty, you are entitled to return it to the company for a replacement unit. Simply contact your distributor to make arrangements. The Pool Tiger warranty does not cover damage due to insurable risks, such as catastrophic weather events, fire, vandalism, etc.
