Read About MaxBin™ →

No Waterline Cleaning

Without waterline cleaning, the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus WiFi won't clean the dirtest part of your pool. The Nautilus CC Plus WiFi only has partial wall climbing.

Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →
Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

No NanoFilters™

Without these Gen 2 filters, the Nautilus CC Plus WiFi 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.
