Active 10 is missing...

Dolphin Timer

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 →
Dolphin NanoFilter Cartridges

No NanoFilters™

Without these Gen 2 filters, the Active 10 cannot clean smaller particles, such as algae, sand, and other debris.

What features does it have?

What is Dolphin Active 10 missing?

Waterline Cleaning

Dolphin E70 Waterline Cleaning
Dolphin Explorer E70's Waterline Cleaning

Dolphin Active 10 does not included waterline cleaning. Not only is this an essential feature that you'll want when looking for a pool robot, but one you will likely need. Waterline cleaning enables the robot to climb and reach the dirtest part of your swimming pool. Without this feature, you'll still need to manually clean your waterline by hand with a brush to prevent any algae or scum that builds up. It is one feature that you'll need that is not included with the Dolphin Active 10.

Leaf Bag

Dolphin Premier Leaf Bag
Dolphin Premier's EXCLUSIVE Oversized Leaf Bag

With leaves being a common issue, it would be safe to assume most pool robots utilize a leaf bag. Well, no so fast. Nearly every robotic pool cleaner is missing a leaf bag, except the Dolphin Premier. If you have a lot of leaves, this is the best pool robot for leaves. Not to mention the Premier's 3 year warranty, Dual Commercial Motors, and Multi-Media™ make it one of the best models of 2023.

What's included with the Dolphin Active 10?

The Dolphin Active 10 includes everything you'll need. Here is what is included with the unit:

  • Dolphin Active 10 Unit
  • 40 ft Cord
  • Power Supply
  • Standard Filters
  • 2 Year Warranty

How to set up the Dolphin Active 10

Simply plug and play. All robotic pool cleaners are ready to go right out of the box. No booster pump or assembly needed. The Active 10 has everything needed to get started in its box. It's that easy.
