Question 1

Do I need to take my robotic pool cleaner out of the pool?

Accepted Answer

No, it’s not necessary to remove it from your pool after each cleaning session. However, prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays weathers the plastic and rubber components on the machine. If you have a pool shed nearby, it might be a better idea to pack it away after use.

Question 2

What kind of service life can I expect from my robotic pool cleaner?

Accepted Answer

Robotic pool cleaners are relatively low-maintenance machines. Provided that you empty the basket and keep the hoses clean, you should have five to 10-years of service life out of your cleaner. However, the rubber parts on the machine, like tracks and seals, may weather due to sun exposure. You can pick up spare parts for all Dolphin models online and in pool shops around the country.

Question 3

Can my robotic pool cleaner collect leaves?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your robotic pool cleaner will suck up the largest leaves and debris in your pool. However, the performance of the pool cleaner depends on the maintenance of the machine. The only maintenance you need to make on your robotic pool cleaner is to dump and clean the waste collection basket before it gets too full. Clean the basket once or twice a week, depending on the season.

Question 4

When do I use my robotic pool cleaner?

Accepted Answer

Most of the models in this review come with scheduling software. You can program the cleaning times of your model, allowing you to ensure that your pool is always clean when you want to swim. How often you run your pool cleaner depends on the season. Once a week during the summer is plenty, and maybe twice a week during the fall. You could set it up to run for half an hour in the early morning and ensure you have a sparking pool every day of the week.
