Dolphin m600 filter basket replacement

Double-check before purchasing

  • M600 part numbers vary by production run and regional market — confirm with Maytronics if your unit is several years old

Compatibility

Replacement filter baskets for the Dolphin M600 are available as OEM Maytronics parts and from compatible third-party suppliers. The M600 requires two baskets per load — always purchase as a pair.

How to Verify Fit

  • Confirm replacement baskets are labelled for the M600 or explicitly list M600 as a compatible model
  • Both replacement baskets should be the same mesh grade and from the same product listing to ensure dimensional consistency
  • New baskets should click into place without force when tested dry

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Buying one basket instead of two — the M600 always runs with both slots filled
  • Choosing the cheapest unbranded option for a premium robot — poor basket quality affects the M600's cleaning performance disproportionately
  • Purchasing M400 baskets for the M600 without verifying — the models may differ internally

When to Replace

Replace both baskets simultaneously when either is damaged. Annual replacement at season start is the cleanest routine for M600 owners who use the robot frequently.

Buying Tips

For the M600, OEM Maytronics filter baskets are the recommended choice. This is a high-end robot — the cost difference between OEM and cheap third-party is small relative to the robot's value. Buy a spare pair at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I replace filter baskets in the Dolphin M600?

Remove the robot from the pool. Open the top-load access panel. Lift both old baskets out. Insert two new matching baskets, align handles, and close the panel.

How do I know my M600 filter basket needs replacing?

Visible mesh tears, a cracked frame, or a basket that will not latch flat in the housing. Also replace if suction has dropped noticeably and the baskets appear undamaged — fine mesh occlusion from mineral deposits can block flow without visible damage.

Can I order M600 filter baskets directly from Maytronics?

Yes — Maytronics sells replacement parts directly and through authorised dealers. Search for your M600's model number on the Maytronics website for exact part listings.
