Dolphin pool cleaners are renowned for their reliability and durability, but just like any other robotic devices, they are not invincible. They can also experience malfunctions from time to time, which can be quite frustrating for pool owners who rely on their cleaners to keep their pools clean. Fortunately, most of these problems can be easily fixed and you can get back to using your dolphin in no time at all.

This article will highlight some of the most common Dolphin pool cleaner problems and their possible solutions. Hopefully, these tips will help you keep your Dolphin working like new so that you can spend more time swimming and less time cleaning!

One of the most common issues with Dolphin pool cleaners is that they fail to sink to the bottom of the pool. This is caused by a number of different reasons, including a blockage in the intake grate on the underside of the unit or a damaged floatation device. Regardless of the cause, it is important to resolve this issue as soon as possible so that your cleaner can properly do its job.

Another common problem with Dolphin pool cleaners is that they fail

to pick up debris. This is often caused by a blockage in the suction intake on the underside of the unit, or it can be an indication that there is an issue with the brushes or rollers. In either case, it is crucial to resolve this issue as quickly as possible in order to ensure that your Dolphin pool cleaner continues to operate efficiently.

Lastly, it is essential to check the condition of the tracks on your dolphin. If they are missing or bent, it can cause the robot to become stuck in place. This can be easily fixed by removing the tracks from the water and inspecting them for any lodged debris. Once you have removed any obstructions, simply reassemble the track and test the device to see if it is functioning properly.

Some Dolphin pool cleaners are designed to climb walls and scrub surfaces, allowing them to remove difficult stains and algae. However, there are some times when your Dolphin may not be able to climb walls for one reason or another. The first thing to do is to check that the Rapid Drain Flap is not stuck open – this creates a seal and allows the Dolphin to climb walls. If this is not the issue, try allowing the white Climbing Rings on the brushes to absorb water (5 – 10 minutes) as they will become soft and pliable, enabling them to grip walls.

If your Dolphin is constantly stopping and starting, it is likely because it is running out of power. The solution for this is fairly simple: simply disconnect the power supply from the cleaner and use a voltmeter to verify that there are no voltage fluctuations on the wires connected to the device. If the voltmeter shows no sign of voltage, then there is probably an issue with the internal components of the dolphin and you will need to seek repair service.
