NanoFilters™ are Dolphin's most advanced filtration technology. Unlike standard mesh filters that only capture larger debris, NanoFilters use ultra-fine pleated media to trap particles down to the micron level—including algae, pollen, sunscreen residue, fine sand, and oils that cloud your water.
Originally developed for Dolphin's commercial pool robots, NanoFiltration™ is now available on select residential models. Every ProLine™ robot includes NanoFilters in the box, and they're available as add-ons for compatible Max-Series™ models.
Standard mesh filters are great for everyday debris like leaves, twigs, and large dirt particles. But they let fine sediment, algae spores, and microscopic contaminants pass right through—recirculating them back into your pool water.
NanoFilters solve this problem. Their advanced pleated design provides significantly more surface area and tighter filtration, capturing what standard filters miss. The result is visibly clearer, healthier pool water with less reliance on chemical treatments.

NanoFilters capture particles far smaller than what standard mesh filters can handle. While standard filters are effective for general debris like leaves and larger dirt, NanoFilters go further by trapping fine particles down to the micron level. This makes them ideal for pools that struggle with cloudy water, algae, or fine sediment.
Yes, NanoFilters are specifically designed to capture algae and other ultra-fine particles that pass through standard filters. By trapping algae before it can circulate back into the pool, NanoFilters help keep your water cleaner and reduce the need for excess chemical treatments.
To maintain your NanoFilters, rinse them thoroughly with a garden hose after each cleaning cycle to remove captured debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers as they can damage the fine filter media. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinserting. With proper care, NanoFilters provide long-lasting, superior filtration performance.
For pool owners dealing with algae, fine sand, pollen, or cloudy water, NanoFilters are a worthwhile upgrade. They dramatically improve water clarity and reduce reliance on chemical treatments. If your pool is primarily affected by larger debris like leaves, standard filters may be sufficient. Contact us for help deciding which filtration option is best for your pool.
