Support answer · Using Your Robot

My Dolphin came with fine filters. Are finer filters available for my Dolphin?

Short answer: Depending on your Dolphin model, finer options may include 50-micron ultra-fine filters or a 30-micron multilayer setup.

Based on Maytronics support, updated 2025-11-10, rewritten by Poolbots' pool experts. Applies to 48 models. Parts that fix it are below.

The answer

What to know.

Yes. Finer filters are available for certain Dolphin models. The right option depends on your robot.

Multilayer filtration with a pre-filter: 30 microns.

Dolphin filter options

  • Fine spring filters, 100 microns: These come with your robot and capture larger debris, such as leaves and twigs.
  • Ultra-fine filters, 50 microns: Some models also include a separate set for smaller particles, such as sand, dirt and algae.
  • Multilayer filtration, 30 microns: Some models allow an additional spring filter to be fitted to the ultra-fine filter basket. This creates a multilayer setup with a pre-filter for finer filtration. Compatibility depends on the model.

Choose filters based on the debris in your pool

Use the fine spring filters for the first cleanup when opening your pool for the season. They are also the choice when your pool has large debris.

Use ultra-fine filters when the debris is mostly small particles or algae.

Check your model before buying or changing filters

Refer to your robot's user manual to confirm which filters were included. The manual also has illustrations showing how to replace the filter panels.

Poolbots sells replacement filters. To find a compatible ultra-fine set for small debris such as algae, live chat or call Poolbots' pool experts. They can also help you check whether a 30-micron multilayer setup is compatible with your model.
