E10 is missing...

Dolphin Timer

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 →
Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

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.
