Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus

[nycrockstar]

Hey all- my first post, so please be gentle.

First time pool owner, got a Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus a couple months ago. Think it’s been doing a pretty good job (I have no experience with others)- I know it cleans debris off the bottom very well.
That said, when there’s an algae bloom (like now) it doesn’t appear to really scrub the floor/walls so much as I hoped. I can see it leaves wheel tracks, but the machine-length scrubbers don’t seem to really be making good contact. (See image). Are they not reaching the floor?

FWIW: vinyl lined, 46’ L pool.

Welcome to TFP.
Algae is related to lack of chlorine to keep your pool properly sanitized and not related to how well your cleaner works.
Please review

Welcome! Like mentioned above, the pool cleaner is more for leaves and dirt, etc. Algae is a chlorine problem. Do you have one of the TFP recommended test kits to share water test results?

N,

You are trying to solve a chemical problem with a mechanical device.. That will just never work.

Fix your chemical issues and your algae will go away for good, and your robot can go back to doing was it was designed to do.

How do you sanitize your pool water now???

Thanks,
