dolphin

I have a 33k gallon gunite pool with a 10" concrete coping (see profile pic). There are also a few ledges in the pool. I'd like the best robot that can handle the walls (in addition to floors) and wondering if there are any that will handle the lip on my coping to get to the waterline. Anyone...

I'm in the market for a new booster pump; I'm seen mixed reviews for both the Pentair (LA-MS05) and Polaris (PB4SQ) Quiet is nice, but is the longevity as bad as it seems? (had my PB4-60 for 25 yr, just replaced seal a few times) I'll also consider the electric/robot IF the recommendation...

I have an Active 20 that I have left in the pool 24/7 for 2+ years. I am about to do a little tune up as the bottom rubber strips are looking a bit rough, but otherwise it's held up quite well. I have also noticed the power cable/cord is disintegrating a bit. I am seeing little blue chunks in...

Worked fine until it didn't. Stopped moving, took it in for repair, was told that it needs a new motor. Bought a new Dolphin and am putting this one up for sale -- you can either replace the motor or you can use it for parts. It's about 4-years old. It was well taken care of and I have no idea...

There's been a bit of a heat wave in southern Ontario and my pool got away from me. Noticed some green sediment on the bottom. About to start a slam, but the dolphin has been sitting in there for a couple days. I see lots of threads about whether it's helpful to run the robot, but that not my...

Hey guys, recently bought a Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus, and it worked fine for a month, but this past weekend, I noticed when it’s cleaning the waterline, it makes a very loud noise almost like something is grinding or rubbing on something. I do not remember if this was happening from the...

I purchased a dolphin M200 with my pool. I know it is designed for inground pools, but my sales person said it would be fine for my above ground pool. So I ran it the other night for two hours, and when it was done the filters did not have much in them. And there was piles of sand on the bottom...

I have a Dolphin DX5-S that would start and work awhile and then shut off, though now it doesn't move. I have gone through and tested all electrical and everything is spot on all the way to the motor assembly. After taking apart there is no water damage inside the motor compartment, cleaned...

We have an L shaped pool that is about 38 x 28. The deep end is 8 feet and it’s closest to the outlet, but a standard 50 foot cord won’t get my whole pool clean. The Polaris 9650 IQ has a 70 foot cord, but even that might not give me the coverage I want. Not sure if the extra 10 feet of cord is...

I have an Aquabot Supreme that is probably at least 5 years old by now. Have never had any problems with it, and only ever replaced the power supply. Just wondering if the newer models from Maytronics are worth the upgrade. I feel like my bot gets stuck in my deep-end a lot. I have an 18x38...

One thing I've learned quickly is that ionization is not the popular opinion! And after reading.... I understand. BUT, when I purchased my package with my pool, my installer was suggesting the ionizer system and he would provide for me. He helped me place my order. Now if I'd like to change...

I have had this unit about 10 months and been very happy with it. Previous cleaner Polaris 280. My pool is under 2 oak trees so this year I covered the pool to keep the leaves out and ran the Dolphin every day each week to keep it scrubbed. The problem is it now only picks up enough leaves to...

I bought my Dolphins two years ago and have used it less than 100x. For the last two weekends in a row, it has run for around 45-1hr and then stopped. I unplug it, start it back up and it runs for 5-10 mins then stops. The Control module stays lit up. I can also remote control it using my phone...

I am looking to buy a robotic cleaner for my 27' above ground pool. I think I have narrowed it down to the AQUABOT BREEZE SE with scrubber and the DOLPHIN E10. I haven't seen a direct comparison between the two regarding pros/cons, longevity, reliability and general effectiveness. If anyone has...

New Pool Owner and Active 30 owner here. After powerwashing the cement around the pool, the pool was quite dirty. I had the Dolphin run about 3 or 4 cycles (with the filter ending up with a small amount of sand in it after every cleaning) and the pool still looked like the below with dirt along...

As you can see on the preliminary sketch up, we have narrowed it down to size and shape. Looking over all the threads I have narrowed down what we want for the most part. thoughts on depth 9' and step configurations would be great. Placement of deck jet, more or less... and any other feature...

I was hoping to find a robotic cleaner to demo for a day before spending $1,000 + on one. I can't believe how hard it is to find a dealer in the east bay area that has a demo, its not like I'm in the middle of nowhere... The Dolphin "Elite Dealer" I talked to today doesn't even stock any of...

I'm new to pool care and completely blew it. I threw the dolphin cleaner in the pool and didn't untangle the cord. The robot pulled the caddy in with the power supply and cord attached. I dried it out for a couple days then tried to fire it up. Its blue power light flashed a few times then...

I have a Maytronics Dolphin 2002 Dynamic pool cleaner. The robot cleaner works great, but it pulled the caddy and power supply into the pool. I pulled it out and dried it several days then plugged it in. Sometimes I get a quick flashing blue light, but it won't stay lit and won't power the...

My head is swimming, y'all... I have been reading and researching and watching videos, and now I'm definitely suffering from information overload! I have had a Kreepy Krauly suction cleaner for >10 years and I'm ready to go robotic, but I'm having trouble deciding which model I should buy. I...

My app recently stopped working with my Dolphin and now it is prompting me to enter the serial number, which it says can be found by removing the filter on the robot. The problem is I can’t find it anywhere and the manual is also no help. Anyone know how to find it? I’ve tried using the serial...

2019 inaugural run of Mr. T

Dolphin S-300i integrated filter basket is full after a 2.5 hour run cycle

Always love seeing all my fellow TFPers new pools and I’m thrilled to share my new pool (when escrow closes soon o_O). Built in 2000, 12000 gal Freeform IG pebble pool, and a huge 1800 gallon elevated spa. It’s my First stab at an SWCG pool, and happy it’s been freshly drained, acid wash/media...
