NanoFilters™

Often overlooked, having a NanoFilter™ can be the most important part of a pool robot. Without it, small microscopic particulate will pass right through the standard filters found on most robots. These highly advanced filters capture more debris than any other filter on the market, leaving you with a cleaner, happier, and healthier pool.

NanoFilters™ capture fine dirt and debris that passes through the standard filters
yes
The Dolphin Wave 100 does not include NanoFilters™
yes
The Dolphin Escape has optional NanoFilters™

Standard Fine Filter

These standard filters help capture larger items such as small leaves and other debris, while maximizing flow rate. However, if your pool struggles with cloudy pool water, small algae, or sand. You many want to consider a unit with NanoFilters™.

Dual Stabilizer

This essential piece to waterline cleaning allows the unit to cling to the walls of your pool - allowing a more precise and deeper clean at the waterline. Units with dual stabilizers have increased performance and agility while cleaning. It also doubles as an easy handle to pickup your robot from.

Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel
