Double-check before purchasing

Brush handle dimensions vary by product — check sizing if you plan to store it inside the robot's filter compartment

Compatibility

Dolphin filter cleaning brushes are designed to clean the mesh on Dolphin pool robot filter baskets. They are Verify compatibility with your specific Dolphin model before purchasing.

How to Verify Fit

Brush bristles should be firm but not stiff enough to damage mesh — medium-stiffness nylon bristles are correct
Check that the brush handle is long enough to reach across the full width of the filter basket
Ensure bristles are evenly distributed and not clumped — clumped bristles leave debris in the mesh

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using a stiff wire brush — wire bristles tear the mesh and ruin the filter basket
Brushing too hard — light, even strokes with running water are more effective than scrubbing
Skipping the brush and using only water pressure — for debris embedded in the mesh weave, a brush is more effective

When to Replace

The cleaning brush itself needs replacement when bristles become splayed or flattened. A worn brush is less effective and may leave debris in the mesh. Replace annually or when bristles no longer stand upright.

Buying Tips

Maytronics sells a dedicated Dolphin filter cleaning brush. Many pool supply retailers also stock generic mesh-cleaning brushes that work equally well. Avoid metal bristles — nylon only.
