Dolphin filter replacement

Double-check before purchasing

Without a specific model number, compatibility cannot be confirmed — always verify before purchasing

Compatibility

Dolphin pool robot filters are available as replacement cartridge baskets for all major Dolphin models. The correct replacement depends on your specific Dolphin model — above-ground E-series and in-ground M-series and Nautilus models use different basket sizes.

How to Verify Fit

Match the replacement basket to your model number, not just the robot's appearance
Check mesh grade: standard fine mesh for leaf-heavy pools, ultra-fine for algae or fine sand
Replacement should drop into the housing with the same ease as the original — no forcing required

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Buying a generic 'Dolphin filter' without specifying the model — incompatible baskets are the most common cause of returns
Replacing the filter when only cleaning is needed — if the mesh is intact, a thorough rinse restores performance
Not labelling the purchase with the model number for future reference

When to Replace

Clean after every 1–2 cycles. Replace annually or when mesh shows damage. For pools with fine debris or heavy seasonal use, mid-season inspection is recommended.

Buying Tips

Identify your Dolphin model number before searching for replacements. OEM Maytronics filters guarantee fit. Third-party filters are available for popular models — always verify explicit model compatibility in the product listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my Dolphin robot's model number?

The model number is printed on a label on the robot's body, usually on the bottom or side. It is also in the original packaging and manual.

How long do Dolphin filter replacements last?

One to two swimming seasons with regular cleaning. Pools with heavy fine debris may wear baskets faster.

Is it better to buy OEM or third-party Dolphin filter replacements?

Both work. OEM guarantees fit and mesh quality. Third-party saves money — look for listings with explicit model compatibility and positive reviews on fit.
