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.

NanoFilters™ capture fine dirt and debris that passes through the standard filters

The Dolphin Premier includes NanoFilters™
yes
The Aquabot X4 does not include NanoFilters™

Multi-Media™

Struggle with multiple types of debris in your swimming pool? This is your solution. Exclusive only to the Dolphin Premier, MultiMedia® is an innovative solution that allows up to 4 filters options to be changed within seconds. With an included Oversized Leaf Bag, NanoFilter set, and Standard Filter, you can swap between filters to target leaves, microscopic debris, or anything in-between.

Dual Stabilizer

This essential piece to waterline cleaning allows the unit to cling to the walls of your pool - allowing a more precise and deeper clean at the waterline. Units with dual stabilizers have increased performance and agility while cleaning. It also doubles as an easy handle to pickup your robot from.

yes
The Dolphin Premier includes a dual stabilizer.
yes
The Aquabot X4 does not include a dual stabilizer.

Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel

Say goodbye to pesky tangled cords. An anti-tangle swivel allows the robot to move 360 degrees around your pool without the cord getting tangled. So you can sit back and enjoy while your pool robot vacuums and cleans for you.
