    Dolphin Active 30i stops working after one year use, any idea?

    The Active 30i comes with a 2-year warranty. Just call the dealer your purchased it from.

    Have you checked your cleaner hose for holes? If you get air in the pump with the cleaner on then I would check that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
