    Top 5 Benefits of Maytronics Dolphin Pool Cleaners

    Smart Navigation: Advanced scanning and navigation systems ensure complete cleaning coverage, avoiding obstacles and efficiently cleaning all surfaces, giving you the confidence that your pool is thoroughly cleaned every time.

    Energy Efficiency: Dolphin robots use low-voltage power, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional pool cleaners. This not only saves you money but also makes you a responsible pool owner, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

    Thorough Cleaning: Dolphin pool cleaners, equipped with powerful suction and active scrubbing brushes, can scrub algae and remove dirt and debris of all sizes.

    Ease of Use: Dolphin robotic pool cleaners are simple to use with a plug-and-play system that makes setup and operation straightforward. Simply drop it in the pool and press start.

    Low Maintenance: With durable parts and easy-to-clean filters, Dolphin robots require minimal upkeep.

    Top 10 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Dolphin Robot Pool Cleaner

    Before choosing a robotic pool cleaner, assessing your pool’s specific requirements is essential. Consider the following factors to find the best fit: 

    Pool Type: Is your pool above ground or in-ground?

    For an above-ground swimming pool, it is recommended to use a lightweight floor-only cleaner such as the Dolphin S50. For an in-ground pool most of our Dolphin robots would be suitable.

    Pool Shape:  Is your pool round, rectangle, or a free shape?

    Irregularly shaped pools or pools with obstacles may benefit from a cordless pool cleaner, such as the Dolphin Liberty 400, with no power cord to get stuck.

    Pool Size: What length or diameter is your pool?

    A compact and lightweight model like the Dolphin S100 pool cleaner might be sufficient for smaller pools, whereas a large pool would require a powerhouse cleaner with a long power cable and an extended cleaning cycle option, such as on the Dolphin M700.

    Debris Type: Consider how dirty your pool gets and what type of debris is usually in your pool.

    For pools prone to collecting leaves and large debris, choose a model with an extra-large multi-layer filter basket, such as the Dolphin M700, which collects fine, ultra-fine and rough debris.

    If your pool mostly accumulates fine dust and sand, opt for models like the Dolphin S400 with fine or ultra-fine filters and extra sealing which prevents the fine dirt from escaping back into the pool.

    Pool Surface: Rough or smooth surface?

    Most Dolphin robot pool cleaners have a combined all-terrain scrubbing brush suitable for all pool surfaces, even rough or uneven surfaces such as pebble concrete. If your pool has a smooth surface like tiles or fibreglass you could choose a Dolphin with a Wonder Brush such as the Dolphin M400 Wonder Brush option. Only a lightweight, floor-only cleaner such as the Dolphin S50 may be suitable for vinyl pools.

    Cleaning Coverage: Do you only need the floor cleaned, or do you want full pool cleaning coverage, including walls and waterline?

    Some pools, such as above-ground or vinyl pools, can only be cleaned by a floor-only cleaner; other larger, frequently used pools may require a pool cleaner that scrubs the walls and waterline.

    Additional Features to Consider in a Pool Cleaner 

    When choosing your pool cleaner, it’s not just about finding the right model for your pool size and shape – additional features on your pool robot can make a big difference in making your pool cleaning routine easier. Here are some key features to look for that might make your life easier:

    Corded vs. Cordless: A cordless model like the Dolphin Liberty series offers unmatched convenience and manoeuvrability. If you don’t like dealing with a power cord on your poolside and in your pool, consider a cordless option. Cordless models provide more freedom of movement and eliminate the hassle of managing a power cord, making them an excellent choice for those prioritising ease of use and convenience. Call your cordless pool cleaner with the clicker.

    App Connectivity: Would you like to use an app to control your robot pool cleaner anywhere, anytime? Look for a Dolphin pool cleaner with Wi-Fi and MyDolphin Plus app connectivity. This feature allows you to control your cleaner remotely, set cleaning schedules, and adjust cleaning settings, providing maximum convenience and control over your pool maintenance.

    Programmable Cleaning Cycles: Some models allow you to set specific cleaning cycles, ensuring your pool is cleaned precisely when and how you want. 

    Swivel Cable: A power cable with a swivel feature prevents the cable from getting tangled in the pool and ensures smooth, optimum operation.  

    Caddy: A universal Dolphin caddy is an optional accessory or standard with premium Dolphin robots. It allows you to safely store and handle your Dolphin robot and its power supply. You can add a caddy cover to protect your Dolphin robot and power supply from the elements and protect your pool robot investment. 

    Conclusion

    Choosing the right Dolphin robotic pool cleaner comes down to understanding your pool’s unique needs. Consider factors like pool size, surface type, and cleaning preferences. Whether you opt for the compact and efficient Dolphin S 100 or the high-performing Dolphin M 700, Maytronics offers a solution to keep your pool in top condition with minimal effort.
