How to Select a Dolphin Pool Cleaner

By far the number one question we handle at Pool Partz is about which Dolphin pool cleaner to buy. “There are so many choices out there and I don’t know which one is best for me”. Many of our customers have suffered from this “analysis paralysis” where there are an overwhelming number of Dolphin pool cleaners available for purchase and they simply can’t decide which unit they want. We want you to know we hear you loud and clear! Because of this, we have spent great time and energy developing a website that is easy to use to find the model that meets your needs. We implemented product filters when you are navigating our site so you can select the features of your pool and select the features of the pool robot that are important to you. Additionally, we developed a product comparison feature so that you can see the difference between two models. So, how do I know which one is best for me? If you’re wondering how to select a Dolphin pool cleaner, we’ll tell you…

Which Dolphin Pool Cleaner to Buy for Your Pool Type

The type of pool that you have (above ground or in ground) will dictate the different models that you can select from. Some of the Dolphin models have been designed exclusively for use in smaller above ground pools where minimum number of robot features are required – you drop it in the pool and remove it once the robotic pool cleaner has completed its cycle. For irregular shape pools, however, more features are usually needed and it is recommended that you select a higher end unit as they have better maneuverability around the shape of the pool.

Which Dolphin Pool Cleaner to Buy for Your Pool Size

The pool size is a factor in the selection of the pool cleaner as the larger the pool, the more surface area the unit needs to cover so you want to select one that has a longer cycle time (ideally, one with multiple cycle times so that you can control the amount of time you unit spends cleaning).

Robot Cleaning Surfaces

While all Dolphin pool robots can clean the floor, some models can also clean the walls and the higher end models will even scrub the waterline. Do you get algae at the top of the waterline that you have to periodically scrub to keep your pool clean? If that’s the case, choose a unit that scrubs the waterline so that your pool maintenance is minimized.

Robot Features

After you have narrowed down your choices based on your pool type, the pool size and the cleaning surfaces that you would like to cover, you should be left with a few choices. In some cases (like choosing between the Nautilus CC and Explorer E20), the only difference may be the robot chassis or color. If that’s your case, you can simply pick the color you like and proceed with the purchase confident that the model you selected is the right one.
