Support answer · Using Your Robot

How do I remove my Dolphin from the pool?

Short answer: Turn off and unplug the power supply, gently guide your Dolphin to the pool edge with the blue cable, then lift it by the handle and let it drain.

Easy About 3 min Tools: Retrieval hook (optional), Standard pool pole (for optional hook)

Based on Maytronics support, updated 2026-06-16, rewritten by Poolbots' pool experts. Applies to 53 models.

The answer

What to know.

  1. Switch off the power supply, then unplug the black cable from the electrical outlet.
  2. Gently pull the blue floating cable to bring your Dolphin up to the pool edge.
  3. Grasp the handle and start lifting the robot out. Let some water drain before lifting it completely out of the pool.

If you need help lifting the robot, a retrieval hook is available for purchase. It attaches to a standard pool pole to help you lift the robot safely out of the water. Ask Poolbots' pool experts about the hook by live chat or phone.

Do not yank the blue floating cable to pull your Dolphin out. Rough pulling can cause damage. Use the handle to lift the robot.

You can set the robot on the pool edge to let the remaining water drain.
