Part of problem was due to the freeze, but the initial problem and cause is still unknown. On Friday Feb 12th, My less than a year old VS Hayward pump gave...

    Dolphin s200 and Pollen?

    I have the s300i, and I too am very impressed with the amount of fine dirt and debris it picks up. But to answer the op, my pollen is usually surface pollen and the dolphin does not capture it all.

    Maybe it is the OS but I enjoy the Bluetooth and think it works quite well.

    My experience with pool robots and a new robot purchase

    I bought the S300i about a month ago and Maytronics was giving an extra 6 months bringing it to 2 1/2 years warranty. Plus the extra year with you amex. Anyone shopping for it now should check for that promotion. Another difference (that I heard) between the Active and S series was their...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    Congratulations. getting it narrowed down to one with all of these options is tough. It might be good to wait a week. Maytronics keeps releasing new youtube videos of this years lineup, the last update was the S50. Not sure if they have anything else planned for release but if they update...

    Pool Cleaner Suggestions

    If it last less than the warranty then it will be repaired and should be expected to last that amount of time again. It will last longer with good care, I assume. Not using it in shocked pools, removing it from the pool and storing it correctly etc. I got a brand new suction side cleaner when...

    Pool Cleaner Suggestions

    I know the OP first mentioned suction side cleaners, but the discussion went toward robots. I just want to add one of the huge values in having the robot cleaner is less work for the pool pump. The robot cleaner filters the pool as well and obviously does not run only from the pump running...

    Differences Between Pool Cleaners

    Hi, sounds like you and I are a lot alike. I recently bought the S300i, and did 2 weeks worth of research including becoming a member here. I talked to Maytronics support multiple times and brick and mortar dealers through several different states, including several in my local area. One large...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    I am brushing the steps and two built in benches as well. It does climb on all the sections but it is not performing a spotless cleaning on them. I am also using the caddy heavily and storing it on the caddy in the garage, the caddy definitely helps. I also agree with getting the warranty...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    Yea I think I will stick with the ultra clean mode and longer cycle times. Love the name lol, our last cleaner was named Bob inherited by the previous home owner, she asked what will we name this one and I made clear Bob was bad luck so the name must change. I actually had a conversation...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    It does come with a caddy, see my last post I updated it and included a link to do a compare it should answer most of your questions. Lucky, I end up owing way too much.

    Dolphin S300i Review

    There are a couple differences, and someone can come on top of my post and correct me if I am wrong. - Filter/Debris basket includes media for fine and large debris - App includes more options (2.5 hour clean, ultra clean, floor or water line only etc.) The 300s app is basic and the 300i app...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    UPDATE: So I have used it a few more times and have been able to use the Bluetooth and app. The cleaning is really good but still not perfect. But as I mentioned that is where the remote will come in handy. And the Bluetooth has worked great! the control via phone is not as much lag as I...

    Dolphin S300i Review

    Here are some screenshots of the app. I have not seen enhanced or deep cleaning. What it does offer is ultra clean (see picture), Stronger suction and slower movement. The cycles also have options for 1.5 hours 2 hours or 2.5 hours.
