How long can I leave my Dolphin in the pool?
Short answer: Remove your Dolphin after each cycle, or leave it in for the full week if your model has a weekly timer or Eco Mode.

The answer
What to know.
We recommend removing your Dolphin after every cleaning cycle so you can empty and wash its filters.
Between uses, keep the robot and power supply somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. During operation, place the power supply in a shaded, covered spot away from water and direct sun.
Rinse your Dolphin regularly with clean tap water to help prevent buildup.
Using a weekly timer or Eco Mode
If your Dolphin has a weekly timer option or Eco Mode, it can stay in the pool for the full week. Clean the filter when the weekly cycle ends.
Safety and care reminders
- Keep your pool chemicals balanced when leaving the robot in the water for its weekly timer. Read more about water treatment and your Dolphin.
- For safety, always take the robot out before anyone swims.
- To confirm the length of your model's cleaning cycles, check your Dolphin user manual or your model's product page on Poolbots.
