Includes Active Scrubbing
The Dolphin Escape's Active Scrubbing spins at 2X the speed of the unit, rather than moving at the same speed - giving enchanced cleaning performance.
Includes NanoFilters™
Free with purchase at Poolbots, the Escape's NanoFilter panels snap in to clean smaller particles other cleaners will miss. Use code: DEEPCLEAN23 at checkout
Why NanoFilters are essential →E10 is missing...
Missing Weekly Timer
Without a timer, the Dolphin E10 won't automatically run every day. This is an essential feature you'll need, unless you want to manually turn on the robot everyday.
No Wall Coverage
Without wall climbing or waterline cleaning, the Dolphin E10 won't clean any part of your pool's walls and only clean the floors - Missing the dirtest part of your pool, the waterline.
Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →
No NanoFilters™
Without these Gen 2 filters, the E10 cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.

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.
The Dolphin Escape has optional NanoFilters™
The Dolphin E10 does not include NanoFilters™
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™.
The Dolphin Escape includes a standard filter.
The Dolphin E10 includes a standard filter.
