Diving into the Active 10 vs Triton PS, 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 Triton PS or Dolphin Active 10.
Triton PS is missing...
No NanoFilters™
Without these Gen 2 filters, the Triton PS cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.
Why NanoFilters are essential →Lower Suction Power
Without the more powerful, commercial-grade motors found on the ProLine™, the Triton PS has less suction power than other robots.
Restocking Fee
Sellers of the Triton PS charge up to a 20% Restocking Fee. You'll want to avoid these units and look for a robot with a 30 Day Free Trial
Dolphin Robots with 30-Day Risk-Free Trials →Active 10 is missing...
Missing Weekly Timer
Without a timer, the Dolphin Active 10 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 Wall Coverage
Without wall climbing or waterline cleaning, the Dolphin Active 10 won't clean any part of your pool's walls and only clean the floors - Missing the dirtest part of your pool, the waterline.
Why Waterline Cleaning is Needed →No NanoFilters™
Without these Gen 2 filters, the Active 10 cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.
