Among all Dolphin robotic pool cleaners, the Dolphin Nautilus line is one of the more popular online subset of models. With lower prices, it may seem like your getting a great deal on a cleaner. But a lot of models fall short on key essential features you'll need for your swimming pool. So let's dive in and see everything you need to know about the Dolphin Nautilus pool robots.
One of the largest downfalls of a Dolphin Nautilus pool robot is the lack of NanoFilters™. These highly efficient filters clean deeper than the standard mesh filters found on the Dolphin Nautilus pool robots.
See for yourself. Above, we tested the difference on what gets captured through the Nautilus CC Plus' filters. Without NanoFiltration™ compatibility, the Nautilus CC Plus leaves behind algae, debris, and even oil that robots with NanoFilters capture.
Selecting the right Dolphin Nautilus pool robot can depend on a variety of factors such as pool size, type of debris your pool struggles with, and what features you want. If you need help, contact our in-house pool experts. As Authorized Dolphin Dealers and with years of hands on experince, they can help select the right Dolphin pool robot for you. Also, check out our curated list of best Dolphin pool cleaners in which we cover all the top 2026 models.
When compared to some of the top Dolphin lines, such as the Dolphin ProLine™ and Dolphin Max-Series™, the Dolphin Nautilus lineup simply falls short. Missing key essential features like NanoFilters™ and Waterline Cleaning, the Dolphin Nautilus lineup falls short.
