Are these cleaners ok to use for first pool cleaning of the season? I wasn't sure if it is recommended if there may be algae or debris in the water. thanks
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/21/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

If there are layers of debris at the bottom of the pool, I'd manually vacuum it up before using the Dolphin. However, if it is a light covering of leaves and other small debris, the Dolphin can handle that. The leaf canister is not designed to catch algae. I'd recommend shocking the pool and killing the algae before using the Dolphin E30.

Does this model climb walls or is it only for the bottom of the pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/19/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Nathan H.

Yes, the Dolphin Explorer E30 does climb walls and scrubs the tile line.

Does this model come with the two types of filters that you can swap out with one basket like the Proteus DX5?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/27/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

The Dolphin E30 comes with one filter. They call it the leaf canister. The ultra-fine cartridge style filter would need to be ordered separately. The part number is 9991458-ASSY.

Is there a built-in timer or, can this cleaner be set up, on an external timer, to automatically come on every day?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/3/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

The power supply has a built-in timer that can tell it to turn on once a week, three times a week, or four times a week.

I am interested in the Dolphin E20 and E30. My pool is 16x32, should I go with the E20 or would it be wise or a waste to buy the E30? I have had 3 Smart Pool Robots and was never happy with the debris that drained out when removing it from the pool! Also the waste removal is ridiculous compared to these Dolphins, which appear so simple, love it! Advice please?

A  Answered on 5/3/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi, In this case if your budget can handle it, we would suggest the Dolphin Maytronics Dolphin E30 cleaner over the E20 cleaner as the E30 is a better cleaner. The E30 is more powerful, does a better job with the tile line and has more timer options on the power supply. If you go to the top right of this page and click on the Product Video on the Dolphin E30 Pool Cleaner you may find that video helpful.

Thank you I'm glad I was able to help! I will probably be placing an order for the pool cleaner. We have not had very good luck purchasing pool cleaners. We tried the vacumm type, and that broke within a few uses. We tried the Navigator, used it twice and it stopped working. Thank you.

Does the E30 power supply/timer have to be kept out of the rain or is it OK to be outside in Rain?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/11/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

The power supply is water-resistant but not waterproof. You'd want to keep it covered if you are expecting consistent rain. You would not want to leave the power supply in standing water.

Hi, In our experience this cleaner will not get stuck on the drain or in corners. Every pool is a little different so we cannot make a 100% guarantee, however on the pools we have tested it on we have not experienced these issues.

This cleaner is made for pool 20' x 40' and smaller so you should be good.  It has a 59' cord so if you put it in the middle of your pool it will work great.  I personally own a Maytronic pool cleaner and love it!

Not really.  There is a cord that floats on the top of the pool so I am guessing it will move your solar cover around too much.
