Dolphin e10 filterkorb
Double-check before purchasing
- Exact OEM part numbers change between production runs — confirm the part number lists 'E10' on the manufacturer page before purchasing
Compatibility
The Dolphin E10 uses a cartridge filter basket that fits the model's top-load access panel. Both standard fine-mesh and ultra-fine-mesh variants are available and compatible with the E10.
How to Verify Fit
- The basket should clip firmly into the top-load panel with no gaps — handles must align with the chassis slots before the latch closes
- Mesh should sit flush against the basket frame with no bulging or tearing
- Check that the lid seals flat after reinstalling — a raised lid indicates the basket is not seated correctly
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Purchasing filters marketed for in-ground Dolphin models (M series) — the E10 is an above-ground model with different basket dimensions
- Skipping the post-cycle rinse — dried-on debris makes the mesh harder to clean and shortens basket life
- Reinstalling a basket with torn mesh — debris passes straight through and stays in the pool
When to Replace
Rinse after every 1–2 cleaning cycles. Replace the basket when mesh shows tears, warping, or persistent clogging that rinsing does not clear. Most users replace once per swimming season.
Buying Tips
Maytronics (Dolphin's manufacturer) sells OEM replacement baskets. Third-party compatible baskets cost less — verify the listing explicitly states E10 compatibility before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove the filter basket from the Dolphin E10?
Open the top-load access panel, release the latch, and lift the basket straight out. Rinse with a garden hose before reinstalling.
What is 'Filterkorb' for the Dolphin E10?
'Filterkorb' is the German word for filter basket. The Dolphin E10 Filterkorb is the removable mesh cartridge that traps debris during pool cleaning.
Can I use an ultra-fine filter basket in the E10?
Yes — Dolphin makes ultra-fine E10 filter baskets for finer particles like algae and fine sand. They need more frequent cleaning than standard baskets.
