Discover how Dolphin robotic pool cleaners deliver powerful, consistent cleaning. We answer questions about wall climbing, waterline scrubbing, debris pickup, filtration, and how often to run your robot to keep your pool crystal clear all season long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Dolphin cleaners pick up algae?
Yes, Dolphin robotic pool cleaners actively scrub and vacuum algae from pool surfaces, helping prevent buildup and reducing the need for excessive chemicals when used regularly.
Can Dolphin cleaners clean fine sand?
Yes, Dolphin cleaners are designed with high-efficiency filter cartridges that capture fine sand, dirt, and dust that traditional cleaners often miss.
Can Dolphin cleaners pick up leaves?
Absolutely—Dolphin cleaners easily pick up leaves and large debris, especially models with oversized or multi-media filter baskets built for heavy debris loads.
Can Dolphin cleaners clean acorns and twigs?
Yes, many Dolphin models are powerful enough to collect acorns, small twigs, and similar debris, making them ideal for pools near trees.
Why is my pool still dirty after running my Dolphin?
If your pool is still dirty, the filter may need cleaning, the cycle may be too short, or debris levels may be heavy—running an additional cycle or using a deep clean typically solves the issue.
How many cycles does it take to clean a pool?
Most pools are fully cleaned in one cycle, but very dirty pools may require two or more cycles to achieve optimal results.
Do Dolphin cleaners scrub the pool floor?
Yes, Dolphin cleaners use active rotating brushes to scrub the pool floor, removing dirt, algae, and stuck-on debris.
Do Dolphin cleaners scrub pool walls?
Yes, wall-climbing Dolphin models scrub vertical pool walls to prevent buildup and improve overall water cleanliness.
Why isn’t my Dolphin climbing walls?
Wall-climbing issues are usually caused by dirty filters, low water temperature, air in the unit, or an incorrect model—cleaning the filters often restores full climbing performance.
Why won’t my Dolphin reach the waterline?
Waterline cleaning depends on the model, cycle selection, and water chemistry; ensuring clean filters and selecting a waterline-enabled cycle improves performance.
Can a Dolphin clean cloudy water?
Dolphin cleaners help reduce cloudiness by removing fine particles, but for best results cloudy water should also be balanced chemically and filtered through the pool system.
