Dolphin m600 filter basket
Double-check before purchasing
- M600 hardware revisions may affect basket compatibility — check serial number against Maytronics parts catalogue for precision
Compatibility
The Dolphin M600 uses a dual cartridge filter basket system in a top-load housing. Both standard fine-mesh and ultra-fine-mesh baskets are available and fit the M600 chassis.
How to Verify Fit
- Both M600 basket slots must be filled with the same mesh grade for balanced suction
- Baskets should latch firmly — open the top-load panel and confirm both baskets click into position before each use
- After rinsing, hold each basket up to light — visible holes mean the mesh is torn and the basket needs replacing
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering single baskets — the M600 requires two per cycle and you should always have a spare pair drying
- Mixing mesh grades (one fine, one ultra-fine) — matched pairs are required for even water flow through both chambers
- Neglecting the second basket because it looks cleaner — both are equally loaded during operation
When to Replace
Rinse after every cycle. Replace the pair when either basket shows mesh damage. Given the M600 is a premium model typically used in large pools, basket lifespan can be shorter — inspect mid-season.
Buying Tips
The M600 is Dolphin's premium tier — invest in OEM or high-quality third-party baskets. Poor-quality baskets have inconsistent mesh tension and shorter lifespan. Buy in pairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dolphin M600 use the same filter baskets as the M400?
They may share dimensions depending on production version, but this is not guaranteed. Confirm part numbers before using M400 baskets in an M600.
Can I use ultra-fine baskets in the M600 full-time?
Yes — if your pool has fine debris issues. Clean after every cycle without exception since ultra-fine mesh clogs faster.
Where do I access the filter baskets on the Dolphin M600?
Open the top-load hatch on top of the robot. Both baskets are directly accessible.
