Highlights
Key Features

With the Dolphin's active scrubbing brush design, your pool surface gets incredibly clean. Each performance cleaning gives you an exceptional pool experience with less work.
Cleaning or changing filters is simple with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro. The easy-access, top load compartment gives you easy maintenance, and the innovative design of the filters captures debris you don’t want in your pool.

What features does it have?
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro steps up the Nautilus line with stronger scrubbing and an anti-tangle swivel cord, aimed at homeowners who want a bit more cleaning performance without jumping to a premium price. It's a solid 2026 middle-ground choice for residential pools that need dependable, automated upkeep. Here's what it delivers.
Wall Climbing
Clean like a pro. With wall coverage, the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro can clean and scale your walls with precision and power. While Wall Climbing is a great feature, don't get this confused with the superior waterline cleaning feature.
What is Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro missing?
Waterline Cleaning
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro does not included waterline cleaning. Not only is this an essential feature that you'll want when looking for a pool robot, but one you will likely need. Waterline cleaning enables the robot to climb and reach the dirtest part of your swimming pool. Without this feature, you'll still need to manually clean your waterline by hand with a brush to prevent any algae or scum that builds up. It is one feature that you'll need that is not included with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro.
Leaf Bag
With leaves being a common issue, it would be safe to assume most pool robots utilize a leaf bag. Well, no so fast. Nearly every robotic pool cleaner is missing a leaf bag, except the Dolphin Premier. If you have a lot of leaves, this is the best pool robot for leaves. Not to mention the Premier's 3 year warranty, Dual Commercial Motors, and Multi-Media™ make it one of the best models available.
What's included with the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro?
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro includes everything you'll need. Here is what is included with the unit:
- Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro Unit
- 60 ft Cord with Anti-Tangle Swivel
- Programmable Weekly Timer
- Standard Filters
- 1 Year Warranty
How to set up the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
Simply plug and play. All robotic pool cleaners are ready to go right out of the box. No booster pump or assembly needed. The Nautilus CC Pro has everything needed to get started in its box. It's that easy.
Even with its upgrades, the Nautilus CC Pro doesn't include the fine NanoFilters or ProLine commercial-grade motors found on Dolphin's top residential robots. If you want the finest filtration and the strongest cleaning for your home pool, look to the Dolphin Premier or a Max-Series model.
