Dolphin S200 versus Dolphin Quantum

Compare Features, Filters, and Warranty

Quantum or S200. Which wins?

Diving into the Quantum vs S200, 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 S200 or Dolphin Quantum.

S200 is missing...

Dolphin Dual Motors

Lower Suction Power

The S200 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 S200 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.

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

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™.

Programmable Weekly Timer

An automatic pool cleaner should be automatic, right? With a programmable weekly timer, you can set the robot to clean at different intervals. So your pool robot can clean for you everyday of the week while you sit back and relax - without the need to manually turn it on and off everyday.

Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel
