Identity and revision note
Official literature uses RC9990CUB, while the live catalog uses W3RC9990CUB. The W3 prefix may be a sales-channel code but no primary source reviewed here establishes equivalence.

Important limitations
- Tile pools may require the optional RCX26011 foam roller.
- The live W3-prefixed catalog model code is not treated as a confirmed manufacturer alias until Hayward documentation establishes equivalence.
- The reviewed Hayward sell sheet does not state an in-ground or above-ground construction class. No construction-class compatibility edge is asserted.

Manufacturer product pages, manuals, sell sheets, and parts catalogs support technical claims. A separate Hydropolis catalog-identity check supports each governed product mapping; catalog copy never replaces primary technical evidence.
