A weekly timer is a built-in scheduling feature on your robotic pool cleaner's power supply that lets you program automatic cleaning cycles on specific days of the week. Instead of manually dropping your robot into the pool and pressing start every time, you set your preferred schedule once and the robot takes care of the rest—powering on at the programmed time, completing a full cleaning cycle, and shutting off until the next session.
The weekly timer is controlled through the robot's power supply unit. Most models let you choose from every day, every other day, or every third day schedules. Some advanced models like the Dolphin Sigma allow even more granular scheduling through a smartphone app. Just leave the robot in the pool, and the power supply activates it on schedule—no daily intervention needed.
If you're tired of remembering to run your robot, a weekly timer is the upgrade that makes pool ownership truly hands-free. It's especially valuable for pool owners who travel frequently, have busy schedules, or simply want their pool ready for a swim at any time. Regular automated cleaning also prevents debris buildup, reduces algae growth, and keeps your water crystal clear between chemical treatments.
Most of the robots on this page include a weekly timer as a standard feature built into the power supply. The Dolphin Escape offers the timer as an optional $99 power supply upgrade—a great way to add automation to an already capable robot at an affordable price point.
For a full breakdown of every feature across our lineup, explore the Pool Robot Buying Guide or compare robots side by side.
Every robot below includes a programmable weekly timer for fully automated pool cleaning. Here are our top picks for 2026.
The Dolphin Quantum is the sweet spot of the ProLine™ series—delivering waterline cleaning, an oversized MaxBin™, and NanoFilters™ at a mid-range price. Its built-in weekly timer makes scheduling effortless: program the power supply once and the Quantum cleans on autopilot. Ideal for inground pools up to 50 feet.
Explore Dolphin QuantumThe most advanced Dolphin ever built. The Sigma pairs its weekly timer with Wi-Fi app control, gyroscope navigation, triple commercial-grade motors, and NanoFiltration™. Schedule cleaning from your phone or let the power supply handle it automatically. If you want the absolute best in automated pool care, the Sigma is it.
Discover Dolphin Sigma

Experience Dolphin CaymanAlready one of the best above-ground pool robots on the market, the Dolphin Escape can be upgraded with an optional weekly timer power supply for just $99. Add true set-it-and-forget-it automation to the Escape's MaxBin™, HyperBrush, and SmartNav 2.0 navigation. A perfect way to get automated cleaning without upgrading your entire robot.
Shop Dolphin Escape
A weekly timer is a scheduling feature built into the robot's power supply that lets you program automatic cleaning cycles. You choose which days (or how often) the robot runs, and the power supply activates the robot at the scheduled time—no manual start required. Just leave the robot in the pool and it handles the rest.
No. Weekly timers are found on mid-range and premium models. Entry-level robots typically require you to manually start each cycle. All of the robots listed on this page include a weekly timer as standard, except the Dolphin Escape which offers it as an optional $99 power supply upgrade.
Most Dolphin weekly timers are set directly on the power supply unit using simple button controls. You'll typically choose between every day, every 2 days, or every 3 days. Advanced models with Wi-Fi connectivity like the Dolphin Sigma let you schedule through a smartphone app for even more flexibility.
While weekly timers are designed for leave-in-the-pool convenience, we recommend removing the robot between cycles when possible. Prolonged exposure to pool chemicals and UV light can wear on the cable and housing over time. For the longest lifespan, remove the robot after each cycle and store it in a caddy or shaded area.
A weekly timer uses physical controls on the power supply to set a repeating schedule (every 1, 2, or 3 days). App-controlled scheduling—available on models with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth—offers more granular control from your phone, including specific day/time selection and on-demand start. Both achieve automated cleaning, but app control adds remote convenience.
If you own or are considering the Dolphin Escape and want automated cleaning, the $99 weekly timer power supply upgrade is an excellent value. It transforms the Escape from a manual-start robot into a fully programmable one without replacing the robot itself. It's one of the most affordable ways to add automation to your pool care routine.
It depends on your pool size, type, and budget. For inground pools up to 50ft, the Dolphin Quantum and Dolphin Sigma are top choices. For above-ground or smaller pools, the Dolphin Cayman and Dolphin Escape deliver great value. Use our Robot Selector Quiz for a personalized recommendation.
