Dolphin e10 fine filter basket
Double-check before purchasing
- E10 production variants may have minor basket dimension differences — confirm E10 compatibility on the product listing
Compatibility
The Dolphin E10 fine filter basket is the standard mesh cartridge that ships with the E10 above-ground pool robot. It is compatible with the E10's single top-load filter slot and is available as an OEM and third-party replacement.
How to Verify Fit
- Fine filter basket for the E10 is a single unit — the E10 has one basket slot (unlike dual-basket M-series models)
- Mesh openings are visible to the eye and allow light to pass through — this is correct for the fine grade
- Basket should latch flat with no raised edges after installation in the E10 top-load panel
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering the in-ground Dolphin models or in-ground Dolphin models fine filter basket — these are larger in-ground model baskets and will not fit the E10
- Running the E10 after a storm without checking the fine basket first — large debris can overwhelm the fine mesh quickly
- Bending the basket frame while forcing it into the housing — if it does not drop in easily, it is the wrong model
When to Replace
Clean after every 1–2 cleaning cycles. Replace when mesh shows tears or the frame cracks. One basket per season is typical for the E10 in regular above-ground pool use.
Buying Tips
The E10 is an entry-level model and replacement fine filter baskets are affordable. OEM Maytronics options and compatible third-party replacements are both widely available. Buying a two-pack at season start is economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dolphin E10 have one or two filter baskets?
One. The E10 is an above-ground pool robot with a single filter basket in the top-load panel. In-ground models like the in-ground Dolphin models and in-ground Dolphin models use two baskets.
Is the E10 fine filter basket washable?
Yes — rinse with a garden hose after each cycle. It is not dishwasher-safe. Replace when the mesh tears, not just because it is discoloured.
Can I upgrade the E10 fine filter basket to ultra-fine?
Yes — Dolphin makes an ultra-fine basket for the E10. It catches smaller particles but needs rinsing after every cycle.
