Compare Features, Filters, and Warranty

Explorer E30 or Liberty 200. Which wins?

Diving into the Explorer E30 vs Liberty 200, our pool experts distinguish the key features you'll want to look for when choosing a pool robot. That way, you can decide between the Dolphin Liberty 200 or Dolphin Explorer E30.

Liberty 200 is missing...

Dolphin Timer

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

Without waterline cleaning, the Dolphin Liberty 200 won't clean the dirtest part of your pool. The Liberty 200 only has partial wall climbing.

Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →
Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

No NanoFilters™

Without these Gen 2 filters, the Liberty 200 cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.

Why NanoFilters are essential →

Explorer E30 is missing...

Dolphin Dual Motors

Lower Suction Power

The Explorer E30 uses the standard motors, rather than utilizing the more powerful, commercial-grade motors found on the ProLine™ which filter an extra 500 GPH+.

Dolphin Multi-Media

No Multi-Media

The Explorer E30 doesn't have Multi-Media™. Multi-Media™ allows a robot to swap between filter options in seconds. Multi-Media™ is exclusively found on the Dolphin Premier.

Restocking Fee

Shorter Warranty

The Explorer E30 also has a shorter 2 year warranty compared to a 3 year warranty.
