Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus versus Dolphin Cayman

Compare Features, Filters, and Warranty

Cayman or Nautilus CC Plus. Which wins?

The Dolphin Cayman is the superior robotic pool cleaner over the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus because it has NanoFiltration, MaxBin, and no restocking fee. The upgrade to the Dolphin Max-Series' Cayman is highly recommended for its improved cleaning performance with NanoFilters over the Nautilus CC Plus.

Nautilus CC Plus is missing...

NanoFilters™

Often overlooked, having a NanoFilter™ can be the most important part of a pool robot. Without it, small microscopic particulate will pass right through the standard filters found on most robots. These highly advanced filters capture more debris than any other filter on the market, leaving you with a cleaner, happier, and healthier pool.

Standard Fine Filter

These standard filters help capture larger items such as small leaves and other debris, while maximizing flow rate. However, if your pool struggles with cloudy pool water, small algae, or sand. You many want to consider a unit with NanoFilters™.

Programmable Weekly Timer

An automatic pool cleaner should be automatic, right? With a programmable weekly timer, you can set the robot to clean at different intervals. So your pool robot can clean for you everyday of the week while you sit back and relax - without the need to manually turn it on and off everyday.
