Dolphin filter basket

Double-check before purchasing

Model-specific dimensions cannot be confirmed without the exact model number — verify before purchasing

Compatibility

Dolphin robotic pool cleaners use cartridge-style filter baskets housed in a top-load access panel. The basket style, mesh grade (fine or ultra-fine), and dimensions vary by model. Always confirm your specific Dolphin model before purchasing a replacement basket.

How to Verify Fit

The basket must click firmly into your model's filter housing — consult your manual for the correct latching mechanism
Mesh should be evenly tensioned with no tears or sagging sections
Lid or access panel must close completely flat after basket installation — a raised lid indicates a misfit

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Assuming all Dolphin filter baskets are universal — they are not, dimensions differ between models and series
Ignoring the distinction between above-ground (E-series) and in-ground (M-series, Nautilus) robots when ordering
Purchasing fine-mesh baskets when ultra-fine is needed for a pool with algae or fine sand issues

When to Replace

Clean after every 1–2 cycles. Replace when mesh tears or the frame warps. Most baskets last one swimming season with regular maintenance.

Buying Tips

Always match the replacement basket to your exact Dolphin model number. OEM Maytronics baskets are the safest choice. Third-party compatible options are widely available at lower cost — verify model compatibility explicitly.
