Double-check before purchasing

Verify OEM part number on the Maytronics site for your specific E10 production year, as minor revisions occur

Compatibility

Replacement filter baskets for the Dolphin E10 are available as OEM parts from Maytronics and from compatible third-party suppliers. Both fine-mesh and ultra-fine-mesh replacement baskets fit the E10 top-load panel.

How to Verify Fit

New basket should drop into the top-load panel and latch without force — forced fit suggests the wrong model
Handles should rest in the recessed grip slots on each side of the basket housing
Lid should close completely flat after insertion — any gap means the basket is not seated

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ordering in-ground Dolphin models or in-ground Dolphin models replacement baskets by mistake — these are in-ground models with different basket sizes
Buying the cheapest available option without checking E10 compatibility — poorly fitting baskets leak debris
Not ordering a spare — having only one basket means downtime while it dries after cleaning

When to Replace

Replace when the mesh shows tears, the frame cracks, or the basket no longer latches securely. Proactive annual replacement at the start of pool season is a low-cost way to maintain performance.

Buying Tips

OEM Dolphin replacements from Maytronics are reliable and guaranteed to fit. Third-party options can save money — look for listings that include E10 in the compatibility list and have verified reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace my E10 filter basket?

Replace when you see mesh tears, frame cracks, or when the basket no longer latches flat in the panel. A basket with small tears still looks usable but allows fine debris through.
