Dolphin pool cleaners are a great investment for any swimming pool owner. They offer the convenience of automated cleaning and are designed to be durable and efficient. However, like all appliances, there are times when they may require some troubleshooting. Some common problems include getting stuck, not climbing walls, and releasing dirty water and debris. Fortunately, these are all relatively easy to fix. This article will provide you with a few simple troubleshooting tips to help your Dolphin pool cleaner get back to working properly.
One of the most common reasons why a Dolphin robot will start and stop is because it has a full filter basket. It takes the computer sensors a moment or two to register that the basket is full, so it’s important to empty it regularly. Another possible reason why a Dolphin will stop is because it has run out of power. This can happen if the power cord becomes tangled or wrapped around the unit.
When this happens, the robotic cleaner will stop moving and won’t be able to complete its cleaning cycle. If this is the case, you will need to untangle the cable or move it away from any objects that could be obstructing it. If the problem persists, you can try resetting the circuit breaker or calling a professional to take a look at it.
Some Dolphin models, including the Sigma and Premier, are designed to climb and scrub wall surfaces. This is important because most stains and algae are on the walls and waterline. However, there are times when your Dolphin will fail to climb the walls for some reason. In this case, you will need to clean the brushes and scrubbers and ensure that there is nothing obstructing them.
If your Dolphin is releasing dirty water and debris when you remove it from the water, you’ll want to check the filters for clogs or other blockages. If the problem persists, you can also try checking the non-return flap spring to make sure it isn’t broken.
Another common Dolphin issue is that the cleaner won’t sink to the bottom of the pool. This can be a frustrating problem because the robot will not be able to finish its cleaning cycle if it can’t reach the bottom of the pool. To resolve this, you’ll need to clean the tracks and make sure there are no obstructions blocking them.
