Missing Weekly Timer
Without a timer, the Dolphin Liberty 200 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 Waterline Cleaning

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 Liberty 200 does not include NanoFilters™
The Dolphin Escape has optional 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 Liberty 200 includes a standard filter.
The Dolphin Escape includes a standard filter.
