Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaners are renowned for their durability and robust engineering. With proper care and regular maintenance, you can generally expect a lifespan of 5 to 7 years. To maximise the longevity of your unit, we recommend following the manufacturer’s care guidelines. If you have specific maintenance concerns, the Dowdens Pool Team is available to provide expert advice and support.
For most residential pools, running your Dolphin cleaner two to three times a week is sufficient to keep the water crystal clear and the surfaces free of debris. However, this frequency may need to be adjusted based on your pool’s usage, the surrounding environment (such as heavy leaf fall), and the season. Our team can help you determine the optimal cleaning schedule for your specific pool conditions.
While Dolphin cleaners are designed to be submerged, we strongly recommend removing the unit from the pool after each cleaning cycle. Prolonged exposure to pool chemicals can degrade the cleaner’s components over time. Removing the cleaner also allows you to rinse the filters and store the unit safely out of direct sunlight.
No, one of the key advantages of a Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner is that it operates independently of your pool’s main filtration system. It is a plug-and-play solution with its own internal filtration system, which traps debris and fine particles. This not only simplifies the cleaning process but also reduces the load on your pool’s filter, potentially saving on backwashing and chemical usage.
