Dolphin Proteus DX4 Robotic Pool Cleaner Review

DIY repairs should be completed by an authorized technician. Please contact your local retailer for service, Maytronics directly at 1-888-365-7446 or the support page of our website.

The Dolphin requires a standard 120v outlet for power.

Yes, my pool is fiberglass & it climbs up the side

Yes, the Dolphin will work on pet hair with the normal filters. I have two long-haired dogs (that don't get in the pool) whose fur blows into the pool and will clog the impeller motor. Easy to clear - just remove three screws. With a shorter-haired dog, you might not need to do this as often as I do (every other run!).

Yes, the Dolphin Proteus DX3 is ideal for vinyl in-ground swimming pools up to 33'.

I don’t think so. With the control unit, you turn on the power and you can select how often you want it to clean. Once a week, twice a week or more. I take it out after it cleans the pool. And I’ve found that I need to turn off the pump when I have the Dolphin going. Because it goes over the skimmer opening and blocks the intake. So I just turn it off til it’s done.

No - 110VAC

Your best bet is to ask Dolphin.

it comes with what is installed.

Idk first time we’ve had one, works great and we love the job it does!

Nope

What is E year for 2 other models?

I sent this one back. I purchased the Dolphin Matronics instead.

I would call customer service at Amazon

Not that I know of. Ijust clean it when it's finished it's cycle. Don't let the debris it picks dry out. Once I hose out the basket, I spray it with Simple Green cleaner and let it soak for about 5 or 10 Min. to loosen any embedded Algae, then rinse it out and stow it away.

Yes. Mine has done a great job of picking up dirt, sand, pollen, and other fine materials that settle on the pool floor. My pool was quite dirty, as it went a couple of months during the winter without any vaccuming because my traditional 3 wheel booster powered vaccum died. It took 5 or 6 cycles for the new Dolphin to finally pickup all of the filth that had settled down there over those couple of months, but ultimately it has done a great job at picking up the finer stuff. We now just run it once every 2 or 3 days and the pool floor is nearly spotless!

I don’t understand bivolt

Yes it is safe to leave in the pool as long as the temperature doesn’t get too cold. The specifications for temperature are in the instructions.

The Dolphin can be operated when a pool is covered with a floating thermal blanket.

I bought it thru amazon

No the cart is separate.

My pool is 20x40 and I think the unit is on small side for a pool this size. I have to run it twice - it’s doesn’t pick up everything and seems to miss the far side edges consistently. Also my pool just started leaking - I hope it didn’t rip my liner but my pool guy says this can happen. :(

We place ours on a shelf on the plant shelf when not in use

Mine runs for two hours not three. And yes you have to manually pull it out of the pool. The instructions say not to pull on the blue cord but to pull up close to bulb. Drain the water out by turning it upside down outside for a short period of time and then put it back out of the sun in a safe place. It does not float to the top of the water when finished cleaning. I pull mine out just before the two hours are up or when I see it in the shallow part of the pool. It needs to be cleaned after every vacuum

Yes it does…so much cleaner than using the hose…my pool is the cleanest ever since I started using it. Also it goes up the sides of mine to the water line and does a swim ledge most of the time. I’m very happy watching it work vs having to use the pole and hose to do it myself. Gets all the fine sand we have here.

Don't know. My DX4 didn't, but I got the extra fine and haven't found a need for them.

17” X 15”. and 11” tall at highest point

Si

I also thought I was getting 2 types of filters but did not. Asked this question 3 months ago but never got an answer.

It appears to clean it up as there is none left after the machine passes over it and no more appears until a few days later.

Mine did not come with a storage cart or caddy. I am still using my old one from my now defunct Dolphin 4 Pro and the new power supply locks into the same space just as the old one did.

I don't see how. The treads are rubber and it goes slow..

We have a concrete pool and this pool cleaner is amazing. Got rid of our pool cleaners, and have very little cleaning of our own to do now . We love it! Not sure about fiberglass or gunnite.

110v

Can’t say for certain. The nautilus price says it is. But for me, I don’t need a WiFi feature. Sure the convenience is nice but not a necessity for me. Nor is the added hassle of connectivity. You’re gonna have to empty out the filter pretty often anyways. So my rationale is empty it, drop it back in & hit the power button. My proteus does the job just fine.

As long as you use the secondary (corrugated) filters.

The Nautilus cc has 2 scrubbing brushes and a longer cord than the DX3. Check the Nautilus DX4 too which also has 2 scrubbing brushes. I bought the Nautilus DX4 after comparing the DX3 and the CC. The DX4 comes with 2 sets of filters for the cleaning basket. With the DX3, you have to buy the finer filter separately.

I've only had the Dolphin. This is my first pool. The Dolphin works great for us.

I don’t the answer to that. Ask Amazon in a chat.

I believe it is inground pools only should say so in the description

I think it should be fine. My pool is free form somewhat kidney shaped and it gets everything clean plus has plenty of reach for the deep end. Ours is approximately 9 foot deep and it is 20 x 42. The other plus is the seller (In The Swim) is actually a division of Leslie's Pools. I contacted the manufacturer before purchasing from a 3rd party seller and was comforted to know if I had any warranty work they would be able to handle it easily.

The cleaner will go up the wall and stay at the surface while it's brush roll turns at the waterline cleaning the wall at the waterline.

Nope. I’ve only had it a few weeks and I just leave it in the pool which the company says is fine to do unless you are adding chemicals. When I do pull it out, it just sits on the deck and there are no issues in doing that. I never leave it in the sun. Now, there must be some other kind of scrubbing rollers on other models because manual said they would deform if left out to dry. There is no way mine would do that so I think the manual covers different models. Mine is the 5 model. Hopefully this helps but if you have rollers that are anything other than gray rubber with flappers, you may need to inquire further. I love mine.

yes

The power cord is 6 feet.

It will. It may not get close in certain spots

It has but very seldom.

I had the smaller model under these two and loved it. Our pool is down right now so haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Our pool is a 16 x 32 I feel very positive the new one will be great. Our new one isn’t blue tooth the next size up is. You will not be unhappy with this brand we love maytronics model.

Yes. Often. It worked great the first two summers but this last year it has been getting tangled all the time.

I’m sure you can. Our pool is 18x29 and I put the control box in the center of the pool. Plenty of cord.

Yes

At this point, "no." It's brand new and only needed cleaning once. Perhaps in the future a new filter will be required but not in the near future.

Don't know but the standard cord handles a 40x20 pool

My ladder has never gotten in the way. It goes up to it but moves around it.

Not to my knowledge to

I'm not sure what attachment your talking about but if the attachment is larger than the opening of the pool cleaner that all the leaves and dirt has to go through to enter the waste basket the attachment can't be vacuumed up. This pool cleaner will just push that attachment around the pool or pass over it.

Si recoje Hojas del Fondo. Ha Sido la mejor inversion. Cuando hay muchas hojas como en El otoño, tengo que pausarla a la mitad para sacar las hojas de la canasta ya que se llena rapidamente pero recoje todo.

The Dolphin control boxes are water resistant but not water proof. Mine is on a covered patio and the only part that is exposed is the power umbilical cord.

Have the power supply box checked by a pool store

No caddy with unit but you can buy one for extra cost.

Limited 1 year warranty

I don't know the answer to this one. Mine is a new model so don't need a filter.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. It just has the rubber brushes front & back and the rubber tracks. There is nothing to scratch up anything.

The installment amount is listed before you make the purchase.

No battery - plugged in to work in the pool, has a 30 foot cord to controler and controller has a six foor cord to plug in - I use an extension cord to the controller - unit has the ability to cover a 34 foot pool which is 20 foot wide.

Ours came from In the Swim

If you paid for a new Dolphin Proteus DX3 and you received a used one send it back . You didn't get what you paid for. If you paid for a used product you should be ok. This product is well built. However I would check for overly worn parts.

The directions say "NO"!

Yes they have to be bought separately

My assumption is that it needs to be fully submerged but I have never tried to run it in shallow water. About half of the body of the robot comes out each time it scrubs the water line but then it fully submerges again. Our pool is about 40,000 gallons.

It is not programmable. I wish I had spent the extra money on the model that was programmable. My pool is 18X36 and it takes 2 or 3 cycles to completely cover the pool bottom with this machine.

I’m not sure what a foam climbing ring is. The tracks are maybe a soft rubber type product. It works great and it climbs everything in the pool. I Love watching it work. Very easy to clean the filter basket.

Yes. Our pool is 26x43 and there is plenty to spare. I think the cable is actually 60’ despite the description. I bought this last week and so far, it’s wonderful. Much better than my old Dolphin.

Yes pretty sure

The power cord is about 6-8 feet long. I have to use an extension cord to use the machine, however, I love the machine. It does a great job and the extension cord isn’t that big of a deal.

I place my Dolphin in the middle of my 18' x 30' pool and it has no problem reaching each corner. The 33 foot cable should clean your pool.

Duh!!!...send it back

I don’t know what you mean by cable replacement, we’ve never had to replace it

Yes. Works great. Highly recommend

No. I remove mine after it goes through its cycle. I don’t want the chemicals in the pool or the Sun damage the unit. I also rinse off with freshwater. This will extend the life of your product. I’d like to my robot very much.

Mine did not come with the pleated filters that are better for algae. You can purchase them separately for $99. Make sure to purchase the correct filters for your model. Not all are the same.

check position of basket and if it is clean under handle.

The difference, from what I have learned, between the DX4 and the DX5 is the DX5 model is $200 more and can be run wirelessly by remote/app on your phone. You can also program its run times and dates with the app.

Baking soda and water

Not that I knew of when I bought mine

Amazon carries replacement filters for the dolphin proteus just check model number before ordering.

I don’t know. The 3 is awesome. Mine does an excellent job.

Cart? Im not sure what your asking, price? supplies to it? Filters last a long time

no

It only comes with one filter but it has been collecting sand so far!

The model I have does not have blue tooth or wi-fi. set it for 3 hrs and let it go, does an amazing job on sides and bottom.

On first use, start the program when you want it to come on (remember it takes about 3-hours to complete!) and set the timer. It will come on at approximately the same time on the scheduled days.

Yes this is made by Maytronics, i have recently returned the device. I did start to have issues making the machine run consistently.

Yes, the robot doesn’t use grip to climb and scrub the walls, it uses propulsion to do so. Works well!

No, this has an electric cord. After completed cycle, remove from pool

No lights on ours

The Dx3 has a MAX cable length of 30-feet. Depending on where you place the power-head, it MIGHT reach the entire pool (suggested distance is 10-feet from the pool). A better choice might be the Dx4, which has a 50-foot length!

Yes, that's what I have. Climbs the walls well.

The proteus has WiFi and works from your phone.

Yes

Check with the Seller!

When I had a problem I called and asked the company they are very helpful Should be able to answer your question

The basket is made of mesh so it contains the debris that is picked up. No bag is necessary as you take the entire basket out and open it where you want to discard the debris, over a trashcan, for instance.

We purchased the DX4 about a month ago. Our in ground pool has wrinkles in the shallow end and the device works perfectly fine. It cleans debris within the wrinkles, but is not impeded at all by them.

I’m old but this cleaner is lighter and I am able with a little difficulty to get it out of the pool

Not sure

I've had it several months and it works great. I hope I don't need to return it before warranty period.

Yes, US standard house 3 prong outlet, 110vac, 15 amps. If you have the standard outlet outside, use that. This cleaner robot only use 2 amps at the max. So it never trip the breaker, but make sure away all electrical plugs from water.

Yes we leave ours in 24/7 except when dogs swim. Once in a great while (like 3x over almost 6 months), it shut off but we’re simple pressed the one button and it remembered the schedule. We have two floor drains with grates over them and it smoothly travels over them without a problem. The one issue we’ve ever had is it got caught up in the two built in stools we have.

Yes, but you should take it out and clean the filter frequently to ensure it is working properly.

Neither the dx3 nor the dx4 support blue tooth

I am not sure. I have an inground pool but would not recommend. It doesn’t vacuum as well as the more expensive ones.

I'm no expert but I would say super fine. We had a lot of sand let over from construction, blow into our pool and the Dolphin was able to vacumm it up and it was in the filter. If it wasn't super fine wouldn't it have fell thru and back into the pool?

Do you mean the diameter of your round pool is 25ft? If yes, then DX3 should work fine. I believe it has 32 or 33' chord. it works on my 16 X 32ft pool. I usually put the contoller unit close to the middle of the length of the pool, so it has plenty of room/slack for the chord.

I have the same problem. I ended up running it three times and it still did not pick up everything, although it did a pretty good job. I bought mine last year and posted that I wish I had paid the extra for a programmable model that could be set to learn your pool or be programmed to run a specific pattern.

I did not have a problem at all. Did you follow all the instructions on the package slip. Did you use a trip outlet? Did you use an extension cord? All of these is a big no no . You have to follow the directions exclusively. It is slow but it does a great job of cleaning the pool. When you empty the basket you have all kids of derby even if you clean it twice a week.

There are no extra parts in the shipment. However the product appears to be sturdy no immediate need for parts. Follow the recommended storage and care. You will be ok. The product is packaged ready to go with minimal to no assembly. The price is cheaper buying online.

33 feet is how long the cord can reach not counting the recommended slack from the outlet... so a 16' x 32" pool is perfect! She climbs walls like a champ too! I got her and the pool guy never came back!!!!

Si limpia paredes...exelente producto!!

The directions recommend not, but there are other Dolphins for vinyl pools.

I’m not 100% sure you might be a little short on the cord end of it my pool is 14x28 and there is a little extra cord I just not sure I think you will be pretty close

Yes, it will pick up large pieces of debris like twigs, gravel and leaves.

Mine did the same but ended up being a clogged impeller motor from pet hair. READ the instructions - very easy to clear (I do this once a week, now!).

We do not keep it on a schedule. We monitor the pool and run it twice a week or as needed. The blue cord does not lay on the deck while it is in the pool. It goes into the water with the robot. Once the robot finishes its cycle, we take it out of the water and let it dry off. Then we store it in our pool deck box until next time.

I asked Dolphin this question when I rec'd mine. It only maps when it is started and does it again when it's started again. It has no memory function between start ups.

It goes up on two wheels when it comes to a wall or steps. You can contact the company. Ours is cleaning well too.

Yes

This is an electric powered pool cleaner. It runs on DC power. The umbilical cord provides power from a large AC power adapter that plugs into the wall.

Mind did this also. I kept shutting it off and on til it started working.

No solo 110v

Although, I have the DX4 model, the DX3 and the DX4 are very similar. If your Dolphin cleaner didn’t come with the climbing rings I would recommend you contact Maytronics Service Department. They are the manufacture of Dolphin cleaners and their service department is very good.

I'm not aware of any cartridges that are needed for the Dolphin DX4! All you need to do is take out the filter basket after it cleans your pool and wash it out with a hose! Easy pezze!!!

I don't see what would be a problem. You drop the cleaner in the pool and turn it on. It climbs the walls to the waterline. Whether the pool is in-ground or above-ground should make no difference - so long as you have a power outlet close enough.

We dont have any trees over our pool but do have palm trees that drop seeds a few months this out of the year, and it’s a lot. also have plants that drop blooms. It has been able to pick all that up. I think it would be good for you. Just have to clean it out a little more often.

I don’t know why mot, but I doubt it will clinb up the walls like an in ground pool because of the right angle from floor to the side vs. a curved transition from floor to side. I would think it will do a good job on the floor. Recommend check with someone who has an above ground pool.

The Dolphin needs to be completely submerged to work properly. That being said, a 12" depth is probably the very minimum it will effectively work in, as the tops of the side-discharge vents (small blue) are about 9" from the bottom, while the top vent (opposite of the handle end) is right at 12-1/2" from the bottom. These vents are water discharge outlets. This will "most likely" work, but you'll probably get some spray-back from the top vent, and any excess air coming in through the top MAY cause a little loss of suction - not verified, just an educated guess! When it cleans the sides/water line at that end of the pool it will do that by the handle-end facing up, which will keep the discharge vents underwater. Overall, it's a great automatic cleaner and I would definitely give it a try (just double-check the return policy if it doesn't work!).

It with two complete sets of filters. One is ultra fine and the other fine. They slide right out and you can just hose them off. I can't imagine needing to buy replacements as they are very sturdy. Absolutely love the DOLPHIN Proteus DX3! It has made owning a pool FUN again!

The power cord is 60 feet long.

It works really great in my 14X28' pool. approx. 16K gallons. It cleans fast. You can set it for how long you want it to clean & how many days etc. I don't know how to do all that so I just hit the first button. It cleans it pretty much in about a couple of hours. I put in 4-5 times a week. I like it better than previous robotic cleaners. Don't let its size & weight fool you when you take it from the box. I wash shocked at how light weight & small compared to previous robots. But that little dude gets it done fast. I would recommend this item.

Yes, it has to be covered by at least 2". Mine will stop if it's not sucking water through the top. My pool has a ledge step that is shallow and it won't start in it.

Yes! I recently purchased the Dolphin e30 Explorer, which appears to be the exact same model, but a different color. I am on my second one, and have had the same problem with both. When it is driving forward (toward the end with the larger wheels and handle), that end will suddenly go vertical. Sometimes it will just do a wheelie for a few feet, or from one end of the pool to the other. Sometimes it will float right up to the surface. After several uses, the first one I had completely died. I shipped it back and they sent me a new unit. Same problem. Did you ever find a solution??

Yes it does come with the fine & ultra filter cartridges.

No

I do not know the answer but it is probably clogged up somewhere and needs to be cleaned

I am unfamiliar with Gunite, but the tracks on the bottom of the unit are soft silicone, so I would think it would be ok to use on any surface. Local pool stores could answer that question. I bought my pool cleaner from Amazon as the price was better for the same product.

No it shouldn’t, i have a patch on mine as well. We have had no problems, love the Dolphin!

There is no remote you have an app that is on your phone if you would like to control it Manually you connect to your Wi-Fi

Si correcto es la marca mía y siempre la a limpiado muy bien

Pull it close to the steps and then pull up on the handle.

We don't actually have a Dolphin Proteus DX5i. We decided to get the DX 4 because we never used the remote control feature on our Aquabot RC after the novelty wore off. So far the DX4 is doing a good job of cleaning our pool, steps and ledges automatically except for the corners where the steps actually join the pool wall. This area will still have to be brushed for algae if this is a problem in your area. Our sunledges are also two-level decks and the same applies for the intersections. All in all, we are satisfied with this product.

It does not float to surface. You need to pull on blue power cord to raise to surface then lift from pool by the bot’s handle.

My pool is vinyl-lined. It works great, It is a joy to have it. Makes me wonder why I waited so long., although they are probably better now than earlier ones.

It id powered by electric box with a trip breaker. Needs to be close to the pool location. It is not attached to the pool. You take it out each time and clean the filter and drain the water from the unit . It cleans the pool extremely well.

I haven’t measured it but my pool is 12x29 and I have 15 ft from where I plug it in. and I have more than enough cord…it floats on top of the water…it also goes up and cleans my tanning ledge and water line. I love it!

No Idea

i have been using mine for a month and have had no issues with cord tangling

YES, if I understand your question correctly. Great Unit.

It has not gotten stuck on my bottom drains.

Yes

No it is made for in-ground pools. They make other models for above ground pools. You could look at the Dolphin E10, or the Aiper smart.

barely any

24 month limited warranty

The best I can tell you is, perhaps. Mine is not 90' angle, but a bit rounded and it works fine. The steps transition more drastically and it still climbs those.

Our pool is also uneven - footprints, heel prints, so frustrating. I think the DOLPHIN does a pretty good job of cleaning these places. It does sometimes miss some things, but maybe they were floating in the water and settled after that area was cleaned. We've been very pleased with this cleaner. Just need to run it a couple times a week to keep things from getting to bad.

It picks up leaves but the basket is small so you would have to empty it more often. I usually skim out the big stuff and let it filter the rest and pick up all the little debris. I have never had black algae so not sure about that. It does remove small sediment, sand, seeds, and leave my pool sparkling clean. Much better than my sand filter.

We have an inground pool and it works great. my only concern with an above ground pool would be where the “floor” meets the wall… If it’s too sharp of an angle it probably would not be able to climb the walls… Sorry to not be more helpful!

It weighs 16 pounds but it is so easy to lift and take out. Clean up is so awesome. I had the old model and this is so much better and really does a nice job cleaning .

Power cord or cord on Dolphin

The controller unit gets warm during use. Heat is what makes electronics fail. So I would think that having the control unit in the shade would help keep it somewhat cooler than being directly in the sun. Even if you put an umbrella over it to shade it I think would help some. It's just my thought that by keeping the controller in a shaded area would help it last longer.

Not sure. It wouldn’t fully clean my pool. I’m guessing it would if they are really tiny

No. The controller is not waterproof. I would not leave it outside. The instructions point this out as well.

Yes, comes with power supply that has power supply. No remote controller. Proteus DX4 replaces my Aquabot Turbo 4 that came with a fancy remote. Never liked the remote or the much more expensive T4. Dolphin Proteus 4 does a great job in my pool. So much faster cleaning the Dolphin basket with filter grids than Aquabot bag. And of course the tangle free cord is great. Aquabot cord always tangled.

I don’t know because that is not the model I bought. I bout a plain Jane model. Mine doesn’t have any of that. I just plug it in, put it in pool & off it goes running around cleaning. I suggest calling the manufacturer. I bought the $650 version & it does a fabulous job without all the bells & whistles.

I have a DX 4 and mine comes with 2 filters, fine, and extra fine. I just ran my Robbie this morning using the x tra fine and it picks up almost all of my algae. Unfortunately mine has quite a few wrinkles so Robbie has gone above and beyond for me. Of course if you have a bunch of algae shock the crap out of it b4 running robot, cause you don’t want to hog up the filters too much so it can’t function at 100%. Hope this helps. BTW I wish I bought my Proteus the first year with my pool, I would have saved a whole bunch of strain and pain on my back/knees…

Yes it does a pretty good job. I have the DX4 model, which came with two different filters for the collection basket. There is a porous screen that is good for larger debris and increases the speed of the vacuum flow. Then there is a thicker corrugated filter that looks like an HVAC filter. It strains fine dust. However, this lowers the vacuum suction a bit and restricts the flow. It still works fine, just takes longer to clean the whole pool. Overall I have to say I am pretty happy with the robot. Works way better than the water driven Polaris I had before.

Yes always. Power it down before removing it from the pool.

Did you push the buttons on the unit console on the table?

The Dolphin DX4 works well on my 20x40 in ground vinyl pool.

The DX3 should work fine! Our pool is 18X38X5 (with a sloping down to a 7 foot deep end and we got the DX4 and quite frankly there is a LOT of cord left over and we could have used the DX3. ONE WORD OF ADVICE, do indeed lay the cord out in the sun to get the bend / memory out of it so you don't get tangles! WE LOVE OUR UNIT and it works AMAZINGLY!

I'm not sure what you mean by a connector, but it did come as shown....vacuum cleaner, power cord from vacuum to control box, control box, and power cord from control box to outlet. It does not come with a storage cart.

Maytronics

Yes. The Dolphin does climb the walls of the pool. I was really surprised to see it happen but it did clean the walls as well as the floor. Amazing!

We don’t have a solar cover so I don’t know. I do know that it is well worth the money. Cleans great and so easy to use. It does come up to the water line and cleans.

I believe is 24months

Random but it does a great job

I believe the cord length is 60 feet for the DX4.

The Dolphin Proteus DX4 has no Wi Fi. You can set it to run daily or Multiple times per a week. You can leave it in the pool but the PH of the pool should be normal. The biggest secret to buying a Dolphin cleaner is the on-line Models and the In-store Models look different but or the same. Models with the same features In-store will cost more.

Check the manufacturer's web site, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only issue would making sure the cord from the control block doesn't get stuck going over the side of the pool. It would be no issue if the pool had any deck around it. Just put the control block on the deck. If no deck, put all the cord into the pool before starting the cleaning cycle.

I leave mine outside but not in direct sunlight with being in Florida

Yes, parts are available through Amazon or pool supply companies that carry the Dolphin cleaners. Also, there is a two year warrenty on many of their cleaners.

220 v

A caddy? I don’t understand what that is

Yes, Dolphin Proteus works on concrete, and fiberglass pools. It works very great. I bought the DX4 which has both front and back roller brushes to scrub and brush debris into the collection basket. And the DX4 also has both elements for the collection basket which I liked. The regular basket and also the extra filter elements that remove finer particles. That extra filtering element could be ordered separately for the DX3 for $99/ So with the DX4 both sets of filters were included. Check the DX5 to make sure those are included. Also, I did a comparison of the DX3, DX4 and DX5. I found the DX4 was what I needed and a bit less money than the DX5.

They are the same, if you call dolphin they will go over the line up with you, they produce The same unit in different colors with different names for different markets but otherwise they are identical.

It climbs the lowest of our steps, however, can't make it up the middle or top steps. It also climbs the walls right up to the tiles.

1. I think you can set the amount of time and how often it cleans each day. The amount of time should be based in the size of pool you have. Ours is Irregular shaped but about 26’ x 24’ - 22k gallon salt water pool. We run it once a day for about 2 hrs

2 years. Limited

No

I don’t remember seeing a formal statement to that effect.

Best thing we bought. We had the other kind but this thing cleans very well. No complains here.

Solo tiene la opción de 120 V No se si el proveedor te lo pueda surtir en 220.

Maytronics

No, it maps the pool on its own and u needn't do a thing except clean out the basket.

Not very well. I have watched it try to stay on the stairs a few times. It is a little big to stay on them.

I don’t think I would. Unless it’s in the original box so it doesn’t jostle around.

Yes but not necessary only needs 110 and cuts off after 2 hours

Nope it shouldn’t ....i find pine sticks all the time in our vaccum basket and small pieces of the palm leaves, once i even found a small shark torpedo in it and the machine was ok. The mouth of the suction is decent size. So seemes like thickness of the debris would be less of an issue than length of the debris. Hope this helps

Duplicate question. Short answer: YES

Power source is electrical cord from the pool cleaner to a 120v outlet.

I'm sure it could be used for both in-ground as well as above ground pool.

You should set/press the programming buttons to the lowest level to see if will re-boot. Also, unplug the controller for one minute and then turn on again to re-boot the controller. If still doesn't work, you probably need to send it to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

If you keep the Dolphin in a pool where the Ph is below or above normal this degrades the product. You may need to replace some parts. Check with manufacturer .

We’re in FL and it’s been over a year we’ve used it. Still going great!

I don't know if the parts are easily replaceable. Once the vacuum is full it will stall at the bottom of the pool until you pull it out and clean out the filter. Once the filter is clean you can restart it again.

This unit will clean up to 50 feet (the length of the cord), so the "Maximum" depth will vary, but the pool length is up to 50 feet!

No

Not sure, I have not had that problem. Recommend you get with the company

60ft

No It should be taken out and cleaned each time and stored out of the sun. You cannot swim while the vacuum is in the pool working. It is a great pool vacuum. The trolley is cheaply made. Made out of all plastic including the wheels .

I have a 40,000 gallon pool and the basket is very efficient better than my Polaris Clean after every cycle witch is programmed for 2 hours then run it again if needed I have a lot at trees and debris that gets in my pool and so fare it has worked great

I don’t have a solar color but the vaccuum climbs the wall and stops right where the water line is so I would assume it would not be an issue. Does the solar cover touch the water at all? If there answer is no then you should be fine.

Yes. If you use the automatic programming, you will need to leave the Dolphin in the pool and leave it plugged into the power outlet so it can start on its own the next time you wish it to clean the pool. I prefer to remove the machine from the pool after each cycle and clean it so as to extend the life of the machine and the filter screens.

Yes.

I’m not sure. Maybe an electrician can explain.

Drop it in a different spot in the pool each time.

Absolutely! If your concern is because it electric don’t worry. It’s perfectly safe in every type of pool.

to switch between the types of cleaning cycles that are available.

I had some questions before purchasing an $1100 item and no customer support so I reached out to Dolphin via their web site customer service page. they were very helpful and I am very happy with my proteus DX3. I am glad I made the purchase and wished I had done so years ago instead of using my old Handy Ray Vac system.

The brushes seem to spin consistent with the paths it needs to take to clean the pool.

they also make one for the aboveground pool

The plug does but the controller is fine to sit in the weather.

I have no idea. I know at my pool store they have different models & this is not one they carry. I bought this one because I didn't want to spend a thousand dollars & the only difference in this model is it doesn't. have all the bells &. whistles that the more expensive models have. I've had this a couple of months & it does an excellent job of cleaning. I do wish it had a "lift" button but it still cleans great. I would recommend this one if you are not wanting to spend a lot of money. They all clean the same, in my opinion.

I have not had this problem. I work mine pretty hard during pool openings and it has held up so far.

It didn’t clean the walls well, missing strips at a time. It also didn’t do well cleaning the edges at the 90 degree angle, just rolled over dirt. We have since purchased a Polaris 9550 which works great. We had an earlier Polaris model for 8 years that worked great but it finally died. The newer technology is even better. We are so happy we went back to the Polaris.

I do not know if you are having the same problem that I have had, so I am not sure my solution will help. In any event, you probably already tried it because, when mine stopped, all I did was unplug it, plug it back in and pressed the start button. This has happened twice and has worked twice.

Easy with a push of the button

I take my DX4 out when adding chemicals per instructions. Maybe overly cautious but I assume a strong concentration of chemicals could degrade materials like rubber, etc. But this is also true of other parts of your system - valve O rings, & gaskets can be degraded by adding shock through the skimmer, for example.

It climbs my walls of the pool so I would imagine if it could just keep on going it would. As long as the cord reaches it’s going to go.

I don’t know the exact cost. I have a pool that is about 15 years old and running the DX5i for 2 hours get the pool cleaner than running the pool with pop-ups. The power supply is rated at 120 watts, so would draw that much electricity for 2 hrs to do a full cycle of the cleaner

It doesn’t have Bluetooth.

No, has no sensors on for checking water temperature.

I have the dolphin #4 & I can program it if I want, so The five does it also plus you can use your smart phone to steer. Pretty crazy right? Don’t forget if you program it, it has to stay in the water and plugged in. That doesn’t work for me, with grandkids, so I just drop it in when needed. Hope this helps.

low voltage works on 110-115 electrical outlet.

Mine picked up a clear, thin plastic protector that was left on the lens of a child’s goggles when they went in the pool. It also picked up beach sand, roof shingle grit, small leaves and eyelash-sized debris from a nearby tree that’s outside the pool cage. Very happy with mine.

Yes

It comes with filters

It appears the system can only be set to 2 hours/ day, however, if you turn the system off, and then back on, you can certainly run the system more.

No, you should only leave it in the pool if you want to clean the pool while you are away and use the run cycle schedule. Never swim with the cleaner in the pool plugged in! So take it out clean the built in filters and store it for the next cleaning cycle. Hope this helps you.

I don't think so, as long as you clean/wash out the filter at least every other use.

Haven’t measured but it’s large.

It comes with whatever filters are needed for use - no extras.

The Nautilus probably works ?

No To the best of my knowledge. It is a 110, and I do not recall seeing a switch anywhere to go from 110 to 220. I do love the unit, bery easy to use and keep clean.

The instructions that came with the Dophin say "the robot is for use with permanently installed pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground..." So that tells me yes, it can be used in an above ground pool.

We've only had our cleaner for a couple of months. We're very pleased, in regards to your question, I wouldn't know. Maybe contact the manufacturer or take it to a pool supply store and maybe they can recommend someone to you

I don't know the answer to that. I bought the one I did according to the size of our pool and the ability of it to reach everywhere in our pool.

I don’t know what a Kayak pool is? I use in my inground pool which is 7 feet deep. Works for me.

No idea
