Quantum or Triton PS. Which wins?
Diving into the Quantum 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 Quantum.
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

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.
The Dolphin Triton PS does not include NanoFilters™
The Dolphin Quantum includes NanoFilters™
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™.
The Dolphin Triton PS includes a standard filter.
The Dolphin Quantum includes a standard filter.
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.
The Dolphin Triton PS does not include a weekly timer.
The Dolphin Quantum includes a weekly timer.
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.
