Dolphin pool cleaner repair is often necessary, especially if you own an older model. These robotic cleaners are great, they take the hard work out of cleaning your pool and help with the scrubbing, sweeping and vacuuming that is usually required to keep a sparkling clean swimming pool. However, like all things, they do wear out and require maintenance to keep working.

The good news is, that Dolphin robots are easy to repair and service. If you are experiencing problems with your Dolphin cleaner, follow the tips and troubleshooting in this article to find a quick fix for your cleaner.

Generally, when your Dolphin does not move, it means there is an issue with the motor or drive system. First, unplug the robot from its power supply. Make sure the GFI outlet it is plugged into has power by plugging in another device. Then, remove the blue cable connecting the drive unit to the robot. If the motor unit turns on without the blue cable connected, then there is an issue with the motor itself and the problem will most likely need to be brought into Advanced Spa And Pool for further diagnosing.

You can also check that the filter bag is not full causing a lack of water flow through the cleaner and that the brushes and tracks are not worn out and limiting their function. You can also check to see that the robot is not overheating as this will affect the performance of the motors as well.

If your Dolphin is having trouble climbing walls and navigating obstacles, it may need new brushes or tracks. You can also try using a pool cleaner cleaner spray to clean the brushes and tracks as this will remove any dirt that has collected over time. If you cannot get your Dolphin to start cleaning, the most common issue is that the track is damaged or clogged. This is typically caused by algae or dirt that has built up over time and can be easily fixed with a pool cleaner spray.

Unlike suction and pressure pool cleaners, which rely on your existing pumps and filters to work, Dolphin robotic cleaners are independent and use their own cleaning motors. This means that they consume significantly less energy, reducing your electric bill by up to 90%. In fact, it only costs about 5 cents an hour to operate a Dolphin pool cleaner.

With a best-in-class 3 year warranty, you can rest assured that your Dolphin is backed by the best support in the industry. If you have any issues with your cleaner that are not covered by the warranty, contact Dolphin and they will work with you to get it repaired as quickly as possible.
