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 →
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...
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+.
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.
