Dolphin Sigma versus Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus

Compare Features, Filters, and Warranty

Nautilus CC Plus or Sigma. Which wins?

The Dolphin Sigma is the better pool robot when compared to the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus, thanks to Sigma's myDolphin Plus App, Triple Commercial-Grade Motors, Gyroscope, longer warranty, and included NanoFilters – giving it the edge over the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus. Sigma’s powerful motors clean the whole pool, including the waterline, and deliver top-notch performance, making the Sigma one of the best pool robots available.

Sigma's top features...

Dolphin Gyroscope

Includes a Gyroscope

The Most Advanced Robot Ever - Sigma's gyroscopic sensors allow Sigma to clean deeper than any robot before.

Cleans the Waterline

The Dolphin Sigma cleans your entire pool - including the floor, wall, and waterline.

Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →
Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

No NanoFilters™

Without these Gen 2 filters, the Nautilus CC Plus cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.

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

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.
