Dolphin Triton PS Plus 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.

To pick up big stuff remove the bag from the chute. That allows it to pick it up without getting clogged. Do put the bag bag for regular cleaning so it will get all the smaller particles. This is the 2nd Dolphin I've had and they both work wonderfully!

I have been using the vacuum for about 3.5 weeks since I received mine from Amazon. So far, I have had no issues with the tangling of the cord whatsoever. I must have used this vacuum literally 15x because my pool was filthy when I opened. The Unit has performed very well. I previously owned the Dolphin Dynamic where you had to alternate the handle to avoid the cord tangling. Even with that machine, I never really had issues. This machine is much lighter and easier to clean than my past unit. So far, I am extremely happy with it.

I have to lift the Triton and remove the basket from the Triton to wash out the debris. I can move the Triton to the pool step to do this.

Same here. Just opened our new package from Amazon and tested it out last night. It only went for about 20 mins. The blue lights were still on on the control box but the robot had stopped. So I pressed the power button off then back on and it resumed cleaning....but again only for around 20mins then stopped. I left it in overnight and this morning cleaned out the basket (didn’t have much) and tried again for a third time. Same issue: Stopped after somewhere around 20min and all the lights were still on at the control box like before. So now I unplugged the control box, waited a few minutes, plugged it back in and hit the power button for a fourth attempt. If this doesn’t work then I’ll open it up and throughly wash it out, try a fifth time, then just wait until Monday to call for support. We’re very impressed with its cleaning ability, just wished it would run for more than 20mins each time

I have steps and have not had this problem at all. It runs for the 1, 2, or 3, hours with no problems. owned for 30 days used about 10 times so far.

It does not. Makes for a bit of “fun” throughout the week with the unwinding. Not really too big of a problem overall. My understanding is that the swivel on other models was a weak point in the longevity of the chords.

You prob aren’t even in KWH for only a 2hr cleaning. Look up the FLA of the motor, simple ohms law P=V*I

The Dolphin Triton PS Robotic Cleaner comes with one Basket Filter- The filter panels are removable you can purchase the Dolphin Ultra Fine Filter Cartridges to switch out with the standard screen-like mesh filters as needed! If you have any questions, you can contact 888-756-9666

CORRECT! The Dolphin Triton PS cleans Floors, Walls and the Waterline!

They don't want to give your money back.

No problems at all last year. Used cleaner all season every day.

It worked all winter for me - had some trouble climbing the walls when the water was in the 40's/30's. This is of course when the cord isn't tangled - it is always tangled.

Yes does a great job picking up sand

I do not know how many watts the motor has. But it is a great vacuum and works great! My pool is 18x36 and it does a great job! So enough wattage to clean that size. I’d buy again if it broke today.

probably not.

es el largo del cable

No....110volt only

I have had both the Nautilus cc plus and Triton. The nautilus left black scratch marks all over my pool. Got rid of it and am happy with the Triton.

17" x 11" x 16" (the robot itself)

The thin mesh is the extra fine and is used for silt/dirt in pool. The fiber filter is for normal cleaning. I have used it both ways and the paper (fiber) gets clogged up quickly picking up silt. The mesh is also much easier to clean.

Yes, it can climb 90 degree walls. Once it breaches the surface, it has a side jet for sideways movement as it continues scrubbing along your water line. One word of caution: if you ever have dead algae sitting in the bottom of your pool, the regular filter screens will not contain it; you need to spend another $90 to get a set of pleated screens.

1 year is my understanding

We have an in ground pool and our power is about 15 ft from the pool and we have no problem.

May depend on who is the seller. Mine was.

There are two types of filters included with this unit. The fine set will clog quickly with large leaves, but the larger set did fine on my pool. Depending on the size of your pool, you may have to clean out the basket a couple of times if you have a bunch of leaves. Our pool had a substantial amount of leaves even with a cover on and I probably cleaned out the basket with leaves three times to get it done.

It operates on my top step just fine. It doesn't always get up there, so sometimes I start it there.

DO NOT BUY: Used it three times and had to send it in. Would work for about 30 seconds and stop. Currently at Maytronics for repair/warranty work.

This model does not have a remote. I believe the next model up does.

Mine has no issue climbing steps and the bench in the pool grotto, which is about 14" wide

The vacuum does clean up algae from the bottom and walls of my pool. The more there is, however, the more frequently you will have to clean out the screens inside. But it will clean it out pretty well.

It easily cleans the deep end of any pool, as well as any area that's at least a foot or so deep. Our pool has a shallow splash deck which it will not clean but it does clean the steps leading up to it.

Yes very helpful to keep everything organized & ready to use again & to help prevent any damage . I also purchased the cover for the whole unit .

The Dolphin Triton does have a control/power unit which is used to select options and turn the unit off and on. The control/power unit has a power cord that is about eight feet long with a standard 3-prong plug.

The first time I used the robot, it ran for less than 30 minutes and stopped working. I checked the basket and it was FAR from full! I though that I had a lemon, but later realized that the vent looking thing on top of the robot was full of debris. I don't know what you call that part, but it has holes that kinda look like the shape of a honeycomb and it's right on top and water circulates through it or something. Apparently, if it's clogged w/ debris, the robot will stop working. I had to get my water hose and wash that out and it worked perfectly fine after that. My only complaint is that I have to do that quite a bit. So, although I have a big basket, mine never gets a chance to get full. That may just be my experience, but that's my greatest issue at this point. However, it cleaned the pool well, climbed the walls and even climbed onto the built in bench!

Absolutely. I use mine in my 18' round above ground and it works amazing. Probably overkill I'm sure but it works fantastic. Huge upgrade from my old Aquabot.

Mine has never gotten twisted while in the pool. The only time I have needed to untwist it is when I'm wrapping up the cord to store it.

You can’t completely prevent this, but it helps to not put too much of the cord into the pool when you first start it. I put roughly 10-15 ft of the cord in the pool and leave the rest coiled poolside so it can pull what it needs as it goes around. I also straighten out the cord each time before it recoil for storage.

Probably. Mine was fine right away. It may stop and “think” for a short while before it moves. Did you try selecting a cycle on the control panel? You did start it in the pool? If nothing works it probably needs to go back.

Yes. So far scrubbing is pretty good.

Not sure on where to find the manual but setting up a schedule is pretty simple. You press the start button and then press the button right next to it for how often you want the cleaner to run for the next 7 days. The three options are every day at the same time, every other day at the same time or twice a week at the same time. Once the week is completed, you need to do the same again.

I own a Dolphin Triton PS and pool has white plaster finish. Dolphin definitely does not leave any marks on pool surface. Roller brushes are made from a soft and flexible rubber like material.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. However, Maytronics didn't hesitate to replace unit after 2 of these failed identically with the upgraded S300 model. So far no problems with the S300 and its run perhaps 12-15, 2hr cycles.

I do not have a liner in my pool but, this unit is gentle and I would be shocked it it hurt the liner.

We do not have a ladder, so I can’t really address that.

I am very happy with this model. The best pool cleaner I have had.

The robot will climb and clean the walls, up to a few inches above the water line. It uses water pressure and flow to move itself. As long as your cover does not cause an interruption to the water flow and doesn't foul the cable, you shouldn't have any issues with it. If water flow is interrupted, the cable gets snagged on something or the filters get too clogged, the robot will stop in place instead of continuing to operate.

I have heard of others having issues with the Triton, Mine seems to stop, do not know how long it runs before stopping. It doesn't clean very good and that started after about 10 uses. I would send it back and request another one and see if it works better.

You don't need a bag filter. It has a filter in it you empty every time you use it. It even picks up the sand from the pool pump that you never see. It's like a reusable coffee filter that comes apart for easy cleaning.

The Triton scrubbing power for the underground pool with concrete slabs is very powerful. It scrubs away algae and sand everywhere. I dont recommend Triton for above ground pool.

My pool dealer said yes and the company said they would when I called before purchase.

That what I’m assuming

No, bcz my pool is plaster and the threads reaaly work well in my pool. I don't leave it in my pool. After it has completed it's run i take it out and clean it.

Yes it will work on an odd shaped pool. The filter does have screens and picks up all the grit and fine sand. We purchased the extended warranty and purchased with the Amazon card for 12’months interest free

I believe it was two years

Yes it is rain proof, I have mine attached to a caddy.

Yes. It is very user friendly. We are very happy with this purchase.

It plugs into 110v. There is no battery that I know of.

I don't know for sure but I have it on a 15 Amp circuit and it works fine

Either check plugs or push timer button it will show 1 2 3 under blue lights

Hi, if the vacuum has a quick cycle I've never used it. I just turn it on and it cleans the floor and the walls within a few hours. Its a real good purchase.

Compare specs

I, I use a large piece of foam rubber. You just don’t want to set it down on concrete or asphalt due to the soft rubber treads.

Well, it should have come with an instruction manual. However, setting a schedule is pretty easy. On the control pad there is a 1,2, and 3 with a button under it to select which one you want. Select 1 if you want the robot to run everyday, 2 for every other day, and 3 for every third day. If you set it up this way, I still recommend taking the filters out to clean after each time it runs. Then you can put it back into the pool to wait for the next cleaning cycle. After a week of cycles you have to reset the schedule because it will power off.

I have this one and it’s very effective at collecting debris

Yes. That is what we use it in.

Enter the model number in YouTube and watch the reviews.

I can't say what the "best" is, but the DOLPHIN Tritan PS Robotic Cleaner does not hang on the drain and does a very nice job of cleaning the pool--just plug in a walk away. We still occasionally - probably once a month - clean the pool the "old" way, i.e. with the hose and brush run by a human, but this is a vast improvement to the every 5-7 day "old" way of vacuuming by a human.

My pool is 30X15 and this machine does a fantastic job. It operates for a little more than 2 hours and then stops. I have never watched it work for the entire time, but i feel it does a great job. The filters are very fine and because we have not completed all our landscaping it picks up even the small amount of sand which blows in to the pool. It climbs the walls and scrubs the edge tiles well, some machines do not climb walls. When it completes it cycle, i can use the cable to bring it to the surface and then lift it from the pool by its handle. The water then drains out and i can remove the basket and rinse it out with the hose. I am sure there are machines which map the bottom or work with wi-fi, this model does not. I love this machine and it is doing a great job. I have used it about 15 times so far. Very happy

Not that I’m aware. I’m pretty sure it maps out the floor and walls and automatically patrols the entire interior.

I didn't read the whole book but mine seems to start the same pattern the first few minutes anyway.

Reading reviews it appears these units have some issues. I had one that didn’t work right out of the box. Are you getting the light coming on the power supply when you press the power button? The diagnostic for these units is the turn it on upside down outside of water, it should spin it’s wheels a bit. Usually these units at least run for a minute or two and then stop.

My inground pool surface is white plaster, so there is no paint. However, there are some small scuff marks on one of the rounded edges of a pool entry step. Since nobody has been in the pool for months, I assume the scuffs were created by the pool robotic as it tried to climb the step.

this model has traction belts on either side which move it along.

Dolphin Triton PS

Not sure about Sweetgum seed pods as I don't have those in my area but it handles leaves much larger than 1 inch in diameter with no problem.

I do not have a round pool. This little machine does an amazing job in my built in pool. I love it! I would think it would do the same for a round pool. I highly recommend the Dolphin Triton.

Nope. Just the cleaner. Which is fantastic, BTW.

It does but it doesn't swivel well. It doesnt get tangled through several uses and you start having trouble storing it, not using it. When that happens, I just take it loose at the end that plugs into the power box, walk out to straighten cord, and replace.

Mine does but it still gets tangled.

The machine has rubber scrub brushes. If there were surface Algea the brushes would lift that off. Algie probably needs to be chemically treated to get it out of cracks and pores areas.

The pool cover may restrict the cord from pulling alongside the Dolphin. Otherwise, if cord is able to follow it would work. Make sure cover is not laying on top of water or else the waterline would not get cleaned.

No

No the Dolphin Triton PS does not have a remote control. It moves randomly around the pool and cleans very well in the process.

Going from 3 years to number 4 now. No problems so far.

I have 4 steps on one end and a sitting ledge approx 2 foot wide and it has a bit of trouble on the steps, but does well on the seat/ledge. I am very happy so far with the performance.

The pool cleaner has two basic operating functions. First, the cleaner has one motor that drives the track loops on the sides of the cleaner - these move the cleaner forward or backward or change its direction. Second, the cleaner has another motor that rotates an impeller (fan). This impeller pulls water into the unit through a lateral opening in the bottom of the unit in the same way a vacuum cleaner impeller pulls air into the base of the vacuum's cleaning head. The pool cleaner's impeller pulls the water into the bottom of the unit and through the filter and then forces the filtered water out through the top of the unit. This flow of water creates suction at the bottom of the unit which forces the unit downward towards the surface upon which it is tracking (this suction created by water flow is just like the suction created by air flow in a vacuum cleaner). When the cleaner encounters the side of the pool this downward pressure/suction keeps the unit tracking on the bottom and then up the side of the pool and enables it to navigate all the way up the side of the pool until the front of the cleaner reaches the surface. Once the unit reaches the waterline it will continue to track along the waterline (usually in one spot or slowly to the left or right) until the programming reverses the track direction and the unit then descends, tracking down the side of the pool. The force of the suction will enable the unit to track up the side of the pool in the water but as the unit reaches the waterline the weight of the unit will keep it from tracking up beyond the waterline. Hope this helps address your question.

I’m not familiar with a tanning ledge. Our pool has love seats on teach side of the 11’ end. The seats are about 20” below the water level. The Dolphin Triton has no problem with them. As a matter of fact this little demon has no problem with anything. Our pool has never looked better. Hope this is helpful to you.

You have to send it to Maytronics or take it to an authorized Maytronics repair place.

Good question!

I dont see why not, but due to the corrosive nature of salt, I would not leave it in the pool. Best to ask the company. We love this little beast!

Ours does not seem hot maybe slightly warm. If you are running it on an extension cord could be your problem if not call the factory if still in warranty. They may help you anyway even if its not.

Yes it can be used for above ground pools

I don’t know about that, cause I like mine so far

I found this 9991467-R4

Bought mine last summer , it has cord swivel.

My pool is 40x60 and I love this dolphin.

Your thinking of the Dolphin Triton PS PLUS! The PLUS version will connect to your phone with bluetooth! find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Dolphin-Robotic-Cleaner-PowerStream-Bluetooth/dp/B01NAQ0LPL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=B01NAQ0LPL&m=A70W6TBLAYLN5&qid

CONTACTthem!!!!!!!!

the timer is set for one app/day. there is a software update that this unit needs that drove me crazy. If you purchase the unit call Maytronics asap and see if your unit is in need of the update.

I have no access to this information as a consumer. I will say that I received my unit within 7 days which was much faster than it was initially predicted

Dimensions of box in inches: 18 x 22 x 13. No idea re weight.

No, solo 120v, hay que usar un transformador.

I have a 24 x 40’ pool. It works great in mine. If your power source is located centrally, it would work. The cord is not long enough to span 60’

I have the Triton and love it

canasta

At a service center you should be able to purchase a replacement for any subcomponent parts.

29v

You should have two different types of filters....four pieces per set. The first set is merely a screen, which is great for cleaning up leaves and large debris without clogging up the basket. After you get the big stuff out, remove the screen filters and replace with the white colored set (This is an actual filter). Run it again and you should see better results. After the first time of running it with the screens, I only run it with the white filters now.

No I had to purchase the caddy separately.

yes I did notice the debris falling back into the pool! The debris is small peices! maybe someone cam answer!!

Of Course! All Dolphins have Maytronics (Manufacturer) backed Warranties and they operate a full-time Dolphin HelpLine to aide with any questions or issues! This Dolphin Triton PS Robotic Cleaner comes with a 2-Year limited warranty, in addition to Amazon protections! You can be confident whenever you order a Dolphin from a Dealer on Amazon!

Yes it is but if you have a big pool like I do it doesn’t adequately clean it

Pull up slowly on the cord until it gets to the pool edge, then lift out by the handle. Set on edge of pool to allow water to drain out.

No. If you get the Bluetooth version you can remotely tell it to go again but this one doesn't. It does a pretty good job in two hours, though.

Do you mean a soft-side pool or vinyl liner? It may be ok with that. Not sure.

Bluetooth connectivity via your phone

Hola, si trae ambos filtros incluidos (fino y para hojas),

The Triton does not have fast mode only the Triton Plus. The Triton has a 2 hour cleaning cycle, the Triton Plus has a 1 or 2 hour cleaning cycle.

I have a light blue plaster gunite pool, and the Triton did not leave any marks. Depending the volume and type of debris, the Triton might not be your best bet. I'm selling mine on eBay, since Amazon's third-party vendor has a horrible return policy. My pool picks up a lot of leaves and sweetgum nuts - and the Triton couldn't cope over a 3-week assessment period. I opted for the Dolphin Premier, and am very satisfied with the results - although the Dolphin is harder to clean than the Triton.

We have same size pool and it takes 2 cycles to get it clean. It takes its time but I wouldn't call it slow moving when compared to prior hydraulic cleaner.

Comes with Anti-Tangling Swivel, 60 foot cable. Thanks

The cord from the cpu to the outlet is probably about 6 feet. It could be used with an ext cord, but my unit sits well away from the pool, probably a good 12 feet and since the cord from the cpu to the cleaner is so long (50 feet) it has no problem covering my 38x20 pool.

It does not have a swivel cord. It "supposedly" uses a software algorithm to flip itself in opposite directions on a regular basis to keep the cord from tangling. That being said, I pull it out every month or so and untangle the cord, then let it set on the deck in the sun for a few hours to relax before putting it in the water again.

The Triton doesn't actually have a 'hose' as it supplies its own vacuum and filter basket and doesn't connect to your pool system. But it does have a very long, (60 feet) flexible and floating, non-kink power cord. I run my Dolphin at least once a week and have never had a problem with the hose getting tangled, kinked or sinking. The swivel and float situated on the cord work very well.

110 V

Yes, it can. It can be set on a timer setting to clean either every day, every other day, or every third day. However, that being said, if your pool has lots of debris and dirt/algae initially, I recommend not allowing it to do a second cleaning cycle before you take out the filter basket for cleaning. I also recommend that if you leave it in the pool for days to use the regular filter not the ultra fine filter.

I reset mine.

I think you’ll be all right with the length of cord. No matter the size of your pool, When you’re cleaner goes to the opposite end of pool from where you put in your cord and then comes back, it will be cleaning with all that cord there. I have a 16x32 pool and never had a problem.

I have a 26,000 gallon pool and in two hours it is 95% clean.

dont know what this is.

Yes it's supposed to be. I leave mine outside all the time by the wall outlet. I did buy a "caddy" for my unit this time, and there is a special place on the caddy for the power unit to attach.

According to the manufacturer’s website, the unit weighs 16.5 pounds. With water it will weigh about 20-22 pounds but the water flows out quickly. I get mine to the edge of the pool and tilt is against the side to start draining it, then lift it out. Hope this helps.

no

Yes it’s safe for a pool liner or it hasn’t bothered mine.

The paper filter is ultra fine the screen is fine

Pros: 1. does a great job on sides and bottom of pool, keeps bottom sparkling clean 2. East to clean basket 3. Totally reliable 4. Really makes pool cleaning and vacuuming much easier Cons: 1. Corded, cord tends to twist up even with the rotating connector 2. A bit heavy and awkward to take out of pool when full of water

The product is crap. I tried to return and got nothing in response. Do not buy. I ran for a total of 10 minutes before it would shut down. Again buyer beware. Lemon laws don’t apply to pool cleaning units. Check to see what ever you buy isn’t manufactured by this company.

No, this model does not have a mapping feature. It operates on the random movement processor.

Hi google it Maytronics and ask them there tell where to mail it to good luck

Couple things you can check.... Lift the lid, take out the filter basket, unscrew the two screws, lift out the black plastic part. You'll see the impeller. There are two clips on both sides of the case. Unclip the case and make sure there is now debris interfering with your impeller. The other thing, when you have the filter basket removed, look in side and you'll see two small, grey plastic clips. Unclip the fron and back to remove the track covers. Check for debris and reattach. Try the robot out and see if that fixed anything. If that didn't work you will most likely have to send in your robot to get fixed. I just sent mine in for the second time. The first time i received it back, it still didn't work. So i sent mine in again a couple days ago. Mine would run for about 10 minutes and then just stop. Good Luck!

it cleans the tile line real well, it comes up all the way up to the water line and scrubs it with the brushes. The only thing I would recommend is that you clean the basket immediately after removing from pool.

No sure if a free return exists but it is an amazing item so I doubt you will return it. I should have bought it many years ago. I'd suggest you contact the company.

I would get the smaller version. With a pool your size there’s no need in spending the extra money, plus the cord would be all in the way. Just my opinion

I have owned a half dozen different robot over the years. I consider this one the best I have had. It easily picked up leaves off bottom of the pool, along with pine needles and a lot of dirt . Find this the easiest unit that I have owned as far as cleaning out the collection basket, much better than all the bags and thin filters in the past. I can clean this one out with hose and put back into the pool in five minutes as compared to 10-15 with previous units.

Not quite sure what buttons you are referring to. There are three buttons Labeled one, two, three. If you click the first one one time the robot will work every day for full circle, once a day for seven days. If you click number two twice the robot will alternate days, four times in a week. If you click the third button three times the robot will work every three days in that week. I hope this answers your question. If you click four times it will cancel the program.

Only 110 volt. Tile is too slippery.

Yes.

The cord that goes in the pool is about 60 feet long. Our unit is approximately 10-15 feet away from the pool, and the Dolphin reaches the entire pool.

This I do not know. This is our first pool, and I just went with the ratings on them.

Find something else. The cord is constantly getting tangled and I am regretting buying it. If I could return it I would.

Have you tried swapping to the ultra-fine filter set? When those are installed, it will pick up and filter down to the algae level without spitting anything back out.

No. Have mine plugged into a regular 110V outlet.

I think I'd scoop any visible solid crud before making the poor Dolphin do it. It probably can, but you'd need to clean it out right after.

I believe you have a 30 day period for returning it.

Ours is not the internet model.

2 years. Every thing is covered

Hmmmm...I’ve had the “red circle of death” a couple of times and the robot was laying on its side/upside down or the basket inside was full.

Nothing that I can see I've had it for about 6 months now

Yes it does. We are very pleased with the way it works. I bought a cart/dolly for it . I later found a package that included both and the price was better than buying them separate. Look for that package

My experience is that it crawls over the returns.

I wold think so. The liner is pretty much rubber type material and the unit has rubber tracks. They will grab.

It works very well here in my Florida pool. I like that it comes with multiple filter options. I use the fine filter for heavy leaf season to pick up the max amount the fastest. Then I use the super fine filter in the spring when all the pollen is falling, so it is like having a second algae filter running inside the pool while the pump does its thing at the same time! It's been in the water pretty much non stop for 2 years now running daily like the little engine that could, and no issues so far. The unit it replaced was 4 years old and broke down consistently ever single year, so yeah...I'm happy with this one for sure.

Product description says 2 years.

I live in Southern California and I leave it out all the time in the open and I've had it for 4 years. I had no problems

The control box connects to your home wifi. You will be able to connect via the app as long as the control box maintains connectivity.

Look somewhere on the side of remote

amazon

The easiest way I think, is to do a search on the web or amazon for "Replacement filters for Dolphin Triton PS". I had results pop right up.

No it doesn’t but I wish it did.

Mine was.

We have stairs at one end, a seat in a waterfall covered grotto, as well as another seat at the edge of the pool. This cleaner has never gotten stuck on them. The only spot it has ever gotten stuck is when it rolls over the bottom pool drain at exactly the right time when the pump is running on full and it got trapped in a vortex...otherwise this thing climbs like a champ.

No battery needed. You plug the power control unit into an outlet. Highly recommend this cleaner. Pretty close to perfect!

Yes it does. It works with the app

I am not sure, as I don't have pine trees. But it does pick up a lot of stuff. twigs, leaves, flower petals, and more. this this does a great job scrubbing the side walls.

Not that I am aware of

I've had mine for just over a year and it's never gotten stuck over the main drain or any other location.

Sounds like a faulty power box

I just purchased/received this model last week. Mine DOES have the anti tangling swivel component built into the power cord. I have run the robot once already with no issues....

Sounds broken. It should go up the side and down and move over Then go up the side again. Several times. Then to the bottom to clean. Up the sides. Takes about 90 minutes. Call their service department

I drop mine in every day

110v

Yes

I think it's made for inground but it may work. You may want to search specifically for above ground cleaners or check the manufacturers information. This is a great cleaner but I use for a large inground salt water pool.

I believe it is water resistant. I don’t leave mine out where the sun or rain can hit it. I read both somewhere....the sun can damage the LED

If it has bluetooth in the unit, which I do not think it does.

Mine has a swivel cable. It never gets twisted like previous cleaners. I love this little guy.

Sorry I can’t say the footage; however, it’s long enough to reach the far corner of my pool, which is 16’x32’. The control box is approximately 10’ from my pool as well. Hope this helps!

no hose is required

I read on their website that the machine can remain in the pool at all times if need be. Only to be taken out for cleaning the machine and waste basket. I leave mine in pool, probably 80% of the time and occasionally take it out for cleaning and to be placed on its little cradle

Yes. and it even seems to do better in curvy pools as long as it is smooth, it doesn't like holes or uneven bottoms.

Sorry - There is not.

My pool is 30,000 gallons deepest end is 9ft, about 40ft.l x 20ft.w. With the 50ft cable that connect the controller to the robot, without using a extension cord the robot has just enough to reach the other end of the pool. There is no uniform order the robot takes but it cleans the entire pool, walls above the water line. I haven't use the multitask program fuction but I usually run mine for 4hr. Only con I have is for the price I wish that I had a choice to control it myself.

No definitely not normal how old? Contact support sounds like power supple may be going bad.

so far i have not read anything that says you can not. if pool floor and walls are rough (like cement around most pools ) I would imagine the cleaning brushes and track wheels would show ware more quickly however.

The power supply control is marked 100v-125v 2 amps. If I remember my electrical current formulas that would be about 250 watts. amps x volts= watts. ps , I see some telling you not to buy it> I have been using mine all summer and love it!

It’s not as good with big piles of leaves. I would also buy the Big Sucker Leaf Vacuum. It attaches to your pole and your hose and you run it over the pile and it shoots the leaves into the bag. It was one of the best investments I made as far as pool tools. It doesn’t cost that much either.

Yes. Absolutely. It goes up the side of the pool and cleans the side above the water line. It can do a 16% grade with no problem. I love mine!!

No, it’s designed to work of 110v (common US household outlet). The unit itself, then lowers the voltage to prevent shorts if electronics seal is damaged and water seeps into the unit.

The active brush will spring the Triton up to the side wall of the pool. It is located in the front of the Triton that looks like a roller but it is a brush. The standard brush is located at the rear of the Triton that will roll backwards when the active brush in the front push the standard brush to rewind and go backwards. I hope this description answers your question. Enjoy your new Triton.

Do you have it submerged in your pool? The unit has to be sitting at the bottom of your pool before turning it on. If the unit is submerged and it's only moving 3 inches. It sounds like it's defective.

You should call Dolphin Mytronics for the Issue. I did not experience any stopping with the Triton runs 2 hours cycles nonstop.

Within the MyDolphin app is a Contact Us option under the Support tab. I'd use that is your dealer can't help you

Don't know but as compared to a vacuum running unit it move climbs the side walls, runs horizontally at times down the side walls. Its impressive.

I can't answer that defitively, but I a n say that it climbs the walls of my large above ground liner pool with no issues.

Yes works great on a above ground pool

This is a game changer especially when compared to the manual hose. We took a few months to decide but are so glad we got it.

It does climb the walls. The vent on top is where the robot's water pump "vents" as it pulls debris from the bottom - but that also creates a very nice down-force allowing it to "stick" to the walls as needed. The big roller brush will rotate as it moves up and down the wall. As far as "Scale"? A rubber brush will remove scum and soft stuff, but not hardened calcium.

It works well, but not so much on the steps. I brush the steps into the pool before starting the unit The result of very good.

Yes!! It works amazingly well! Absolutely love it. We do not have a screen enclosure and have a lot of tree and other debris in the pool and this takes care of all of it.

Although I don’t fully understand your question, I will say that the Dolphin climbs my pool walls and cleans the water line superbly well. I have nothing but accolades for this product,

yes it can

The power source is a small box that plugs into a GFCI outlet. The power cable is pretty long and allows the robot to transit the full 40 feet of the pool, plus the fifteen feet from the outlet.

Read the instructions and warranty information that came with it. Register it and use their customer support help site.

Not sure. Mine has worked well. There is a short clean cycle, but I’ve never used it so I don’t know if that is what is happening. I would contact the seller and ask for a replacement.

While the Dolphin climbs vertical walls very well, it doesn't do stairs. I use a brush on the steps and the filter captures most of the algae...

I don’t know. I have had no luck getting any responses back from this seller

Doubtful. The front just barely reaches above the waterline when it works.

Back in July of 2020 my older Maytronics/Dolphin pool cleaner stopped working and required a replacement motor for the impeller drive unit. After doing some research I learned that the official story is these units are not repairable in DIY mode. Any repair that requires disassembly of the motor/drive assembly must be performed by an authorized dealer. The cost of the "repair" was estimated to be well over half the cost of a new unit. Not happy with that scenario I scoured all the usual suspects on the internet and could not find any reputable sites that sell motors for these cleaners. Note: There were several less-than-credible looking sites that had motors with seemingly appropriate model numbers but these sites were void of any collaborating details that would create the level of trust required for me to key in my cc number. This lack of credibility combined with the fact that the price of a motor assembly from these sites was about half the cost of a new unit forced me to keep looking for alternatives. After finding no acceptable repairs solutions I ended up purchasing a new unit. My apologies for not providing a positive answer to your question but I thought my experience may provide some perspective.

Does not float to top, can leave it in. It has a water line scrubbing feature so it does come up on the pool sides for that. We are very happy with ours.

It may be that the recirculation jets are pushing it towards the deep end. You might try running it when the pump is off and see if that makes a difference.

We are in Florida, we remove it after each use.

Yes. I have a saltwater pool. It’s great.

Based upon my history with Dolphin pool cleaners the average life is four to five years. I am currently in year number one on my third Dolphin cleaner. The first one I owned lasted about five years and the second lasted about four years before the primary drive motors failed. The cost of repairing the units was prohibitive so I decided to purchase a new unit in both cases.

I'm not sure it can. It appears to be hard wired into the unit. To be honest, mine doesnt tangle all that much. every couple of weeks I take it out of the pool to empty the basket and it might have only one tangle, if any. One or two tangles dont seem to effect performance at all.

My unit is powered by 120V AC 60Hz Plugs right in to standard outlet

Don't even try that. I used my old pump-based unit with the solar cover but wouldn't dare use this for many reasons. The cord, the climbing up the pool sides (would expect the worst based on how high it gets and how much it hates plastic. Good news is the pool is spotless in 2 hours so we've just been able to remove cover and clean before guests arrive.

There is only a year warranty

My pool is large, 38000 gallons. The Triton does a great job, except I often ask it to do it twice. The travel across the pool is somewhat random. For my pool, sometimes it will miss an area if done once. It also does the walls and tile very well. Now for the steps, it may depend on how yours are made. Mine have a high rise and not a long step. My steps are not cleaned very well. I simply brush them early in the morning before dropping it in. To me, the Triton is worth the purchase.

It climbs our from deep end to my shallow end on the incline just fine. It'll even climb straight up the pool side walls which are vertical. Never had this robot get stuck anywhere.

2 years

Yes it does. Does a great job keeping our pools clean!

It picks up sand, leaves, small rocks, and small twigs. what it picks up has to fit inside the opening which is a rectangular shape and be moved by the jets and brushes.

Don’t know about your situation but mine out of the box never worked even after sending it back for warranty work. This unit has many software issues that only manufactures can fix.

china

No it does not need recharging. The power cord is long enough to reach the length of the pool plus some. The controller plugs into 110 ac whole the sweep plugs into the power controller with a dc voltage. The unit drags the cord around as it sweeps the pool.

There is a handle at the top front. You would pull gently on the cord to get it close to the surface, then grab the front handle. I am a smaller female & don't have any issues with it. My last robot pool cleaner was very heavy - this one is much easier for me. I usually bend down to the pool edge & let the majority of the water drain off before pulling it out of the pool completely. Hope this helps.

My pool got to 89 degrees this summer and it happily went about its job. We used it in a 60 degree pool to clean out the debris just before we closed it and it worked well. I am sure there is eventually a temperature that is not okay and I would certainly not let it freeze, etc., but it has tolerated extremes of "normal" pool temps in Tennessee just fine.

It has been safe with my pool. After many years, this is my second Triton

This product is useless

Hi, it should be around 22 x 18 x 12 in.

There are two sets of filters. One is simply a screen which is great for removing leaves without clogging things up. The second set are filter which do nicely for getting dirt and other small debris out. Short answer....it will pick up dirt

There are no hoses on my machine however there is an extra long cable used for the electric. The instructions says not to connect to any type of extension cord and I think the reason being is if that extension cord is pulled into the water by the machine you could be electrocuted.

Triton scrubbing dirt collector basket has to be power washed with your garden hose after scrubbing for 8-10.hours that is 4 to 5 2 hours running cycles.

Not sure. I did buy the 3 year warranty. I am now in my 4 th year.

I've not seen a green light on the unit itself...

I have used this cleaner in the pool with a vinyl liner for 2 seasons, and I have not seen any adverse impact so far.

My pool does not have any cover. The cable ofthe dolphin has to be allowed to move freely above the waterline when the cable is stretched out. Otherwise, the cable is submerged under the waterline. If you leave an inch between the pool cover and the waterline this can work beautifully for your pool.

yes

It does not have a full filter indicator.

Yes. I have a salt water pool and this was recommended. I absolutely love it! So easy to use.

I would think so since the bottom acts like the wheels on a tank. Curved walls are more unusual. Maybe someone else can weigh in.

The power cord is about 6 1/2 feet long. It is to be plugged directly into the wall; not an extension cord.

unless they have change it, there should not be a bag in the filter, it may have been for shipping

Mine shipped out very quickly and was here in less than a week.

It shouldn’t climb out of the pool unless you have an infinity pool which I believe these are not suitable for. Contact customer support.

Nope; been using it since may on my IG Vinyl. Its the best robotic scrubber I have owned and this is my 3rd. It usually takes 2 cycles to clean my pool (and I am perfectly fine with that). I have an IG 24K gallon salt water pool and it comes with 2 different types of filter and it is fantastic. Add the 2 yr warranty and I am a happy camper. You can not go wrong with this unit. I have the NON blue tooth flavor. I would buy it all over again and cleanup takes less than 5 minutes...

Jets will definitely affect this cleaner. I have floor jets only, which minimizes the affect. Wall returns will undoubtedly knock most robots off the wall.

Don’t think so. My pool is concrete

Es el primero que tengo, no conozco otra marca pero estoy feliz limpia muy bien quede satisfecha con la compra.

Not certain HOW this works, and my Dolphin DOES get my pool surface very clean and smooth, but after watching it many afternoons proceed around my pool, (particularly entertaining when it was brand new) there is no apparent rhyme or reason behind its travels. Seems to choose a different path each and every time, climbing sides here or there interspersed with the odd bottom crossing and stair-climb. No idea how it decides each time what route to take but as I run mine for two hours, that seems to be enough time for it to wander over every surface of my 25x14 rectangular pool.

My pool is 17k gallons it cleans it in Under 2 Hours. This isnt a pool filter so gallons of water per hour really isnt relavant.
