Dolphin filter basket replacement
Double-check before purchasing
- Pricing and part availability vary by region and retailer — check Maytronics' official parts page for current OEM part numbers
Compatibility
Dolphin filter basket replacements are available for all major Dolphin pool robot models Confirm your Dolphin model number matches the replacement part listing before purchasing. Fine-mesh and ultra-fine-mesh variants exist for each model. Replacement baskets from Maytronics (OEM) and compatible third-party suppliers are widely available.
How to Verify Fit
- Check that the replacement basket is listed for your specific Dolphin model number
- Frame dimensions should match your existing basket — measure or compare photos if ordering a third-party option
- After installation, confirm the access panel closes flush and the basket does not shift during a short test run
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering by robot colour or generation without checking the model number — Dolphin has many models with similar appearances but different basket sizes
- Replacing only when the robot stops working well — proactive annual replacement prevents performance degradation
- Forgetting to order a spare — having one basket means the robot is idle while it dries after cleaning
When to Replace
Clean after every 1–2 cycles. Replace annually or when mesh is damaged. A two-pack of baskets allows rotation — one in use, one drying — which extends each basket's life.
Buying Tips
OEM Maytronics replacement baskets are the most reliable option. Third-party compatible alternatives are plentiful and cost less — look for explicit model compatibility claims and verified buyer reviews. Buying a two-pack is more economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Dolphin filter basket replacements?
Maytronics' website, Amazon, major pool supply retailers (Leslie's, Pool Supply World), and authorised Dolphin dealers all stock replacement filter baskets.
Are replacement filter baskets covered by Dolphin's warranty?
Filter baskets are consumable parts and are not typically covered by the robot's warranty. They are considered normal wear items.
Can I use a dishwasher to clean Dolphin filter baskets before replacing them?
Not recommended — high heat can warp the plastic frame. Cold water and a medium-bristle brush are sufficient.
