Sometimes you know exactly which feature you're after — a fine NanoFilter for pollen, a weekly timer for hands-off cleaning, Wi-Fi to control it from your phone. Here's which Dolphin models offer each feature, why it matters, and how to choose the right one.
Some features (like NanoFiltration) are standard on ProLine models but optional upgrades on others. Know what's included before you buy.
A weekly timer only helps if you want scheduled cleaning; Wi-Fi matters if you want app control. Match features to your habits, not just the spec sheet.
Premium models bundle several standout features together — often better value than chasing one feature on a lower model plus upgrades.
Advanced features are only worth it with real warranty backing. Buy authorized to keep full coverage.

Match the robot to the job
Manual cleaning gets skipped. A weekly timer runs the robot automatically on your schedule, keeping the pool consistently clean hands-free.
It lets you program which days and times the robot runs, and it starts automatically (AutoStart). You get consistently clean water without manually starting each cycle.
The Weekly Smart Timer is standard on the Premier, Quantum, and Cayman, among others. It's one of the most convenient features for hands-off maintenance.
Yes, periodically — but a large-capacity model like the Quantum lets scheduled cleaning run many cycles between empties.
