Maytronics filter basket
Compatibility
Maytronics filter baskets are designed for Dolphin robotic pool cleaners. Maytronics is the manufacturer of Dolphin robots, so these are OEM parts that guarantee perfect fit for compatible Dolphin models — confirm your model number before purchasing.
How to Verify Fit
- Check your Dolphin model number on the side or bottom of the unit
- Compare your existing basket shape and size visually against the product listing photos before ordering
- Verify spring-clip style matches (top-load vs front-load)
- Look for Maytronics or Dolphin branding on genuine parts
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying the wrong size basket - Dolphin has multiple basket sizes for different model lines
- Confusing fine filter baskets with standard/ultra-fine options
- Ordering bags when you need baskets (bags go inside baskets)
- Not checking if your model uses a cartridge filter instead of basket
When to Replace
Filter baskets typically last 2-4 seasons with proper care. Replace when mesh is torn, warped, or no longer seals properly. Clean after every use to extend lifespan.
Buying Tips
Genuine Maytronics baskets ensure the best fit and durability. Third-party options can work but may not seal as well. Consider buying a spare to rotate while one dries. Multi-packs offer better value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Maytronics and Dolphin the same company?
Yes, Maytronics is the Israeli company that manufactures Dolphin robotic pool cleaners. Maytronics filter parts are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts for Dolphin robots.
What's the difference between standard, fine, and ultra-fine filter baskets?
Standard filters catch leaves and large debris. Fine-mesh filters catch smaller particles like sand. Ultra-fine filters capture algae and fine silt for crystal-clear water.
How do I clean Maytronics filter baskets?
Rinse with a garden hose after each use. For deep cleaning, soak in filter cleaner solution monthly. Never use a pressure washer - it can damage the mesh.
