My Dolphin doesn't climb the walls or move sideways on walls
Click here to watch our Dolphin Tips video for step-by-step troubleshooting!
The robot should be used in water temperatures of 6°C - 35°C for optimal results. A low pool temperature can significantly hinder the robot's ability to climb. The water temperature should be maintained at a level higher than 15°C.
Checking Chemical Levels
Next, verify that the pool chemicals are within the recommended range. If the pH levels are too high or too low, this can affect the robot's climbing ability.
Additionally, if your robot has a fast mode or "Floor Only" mode, (only for models compatible with the MyDolphin/MyDolphin™ Plus app or with the power supply unit) verify that these modes have not been set.
Inspecting the Filters
It is imperative to check the filters. If you are using the Ultra-Fine (paper) filter, it should appear white. If the filter is brown or green, clean it with a garden hose set to the highest pressure. If the filter does not return to a white state– it is likely due to be replaced.
If you are using the Ultra-Fine filters, operate the robot with the Net Filters instead. If the robot is able to climb, this serves as an indication that the Ultra-Fine filters require replacement.
Debris in the Impeller
Make sure there is no debris obstructing the impeller. For instructions on how to clean your impeller, click here.
First, unplug the power supply from the outlet. Use a Phillips screwdriver, not a power drill.
If you notice debris trapped in the impeller, open it, remove the debris, and reassemble the impeller.
Does your robot have an adjustable handle? (Click Here)
Make sure the handle is aligned diagonally to help the robot climb.
For slow waterline cleaning (covers less surface area, but cleans more intensively): Put one end of the handle in the second/third slot, and the other end of the handle in the second/third slot (pictured above on the left side)
For fast waterline cleaning (covers more surface area, but cleans less intensively): Put one end of the handle in the first slot, and the other end of the handle in the fourth slot (pictured above on the right side)
Sufficient Cable Length
Ensure the robot has sufficient cable to allow it to climb the wall – the cable can pull the robot back if there is not enough of it.
To determine if you have the appropriate amount of cable in the pool, measure the cable length that matches your pool's longest dimension.
It is important to remember not to use an excessive length of cable to avoid tangling issues.
Brush Type
It’s important to use the correct brush based on your Dolphin model, the surface type and slopes of your pool.
PVC brushes are standard and work well for most pool floors.
Combined brushes (PVC with foam climbing rings) help the robot climb and grip better—if your robot has climbing rings, don’t remove them! They’re essential for performance and should be replaced when worn.
Wonder Brush is the ideal choice for ultra-smooth or slippery surfaces like stainless steel or polished mosaic tile.
If your robot struggles to climb walls or stay attached to the pool surface, switching to a combined brush might help.
If the robot is not cleaning the pool as it used to or is missing spots, we recommend verifying the following parameters.
Check that the chemical levels meet the following parameters:
Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
pH: 7.2-7.6
Calcium Hardness: 150-250 ppm
Chlorine: 1.0-3.0 ppm
Cyanuric Acid: 30-50 ppm
Algaecide: 30-50 ppm
It is essential to maintain these levels for the best cleaning results and to preserve the robot's longevity.
The weather, our body chemistry, and additional factors can affect the chemical levels in the pool, therefore we recommend checking the chemical levels regularly. Click here to shop our pool chemicals
Check that the water temperature is between 43° - 95° Fahrenheit.
If your robot struggles to climb, ensure the pool temperature is higher than 59°F, as low temperatures can make it difficult for the robot to climb.
If there is a specific area in your pool that the robot is missing, we recommend putting the robot in that area from the start of the cycle.
If the robot is getting stuck in the deep end of the pool, it may be possible to upgrade the back brush on your robot to a Combined Brush or Wonder Brush. Please contact us here to verify if this solution will be suitable for your robot model.
What kind of debris is in the pool?
Depending on the type of debris there is in the pool, will help determine which filter type is most suitable for use.
If the debris is large debris such as tree foliage, we recommend using our fine (net) filters.
If the debris is sticky, algae-like debris, we recommend inquiring with your pool technician for further analysis and action.
If you complete a chemical shock, wait at least 24 hours after the treatment, before placing the robot back in the pool and verify that the chemical levels have returned to normal.
If there is a large amount of debris in the pool, we recommend running multiple cycles in a row and cleaning the filter after each cycle.
How does the robot filter look? Is it quite full? Could it be clogged?
We recommend using fine filter panels for large debris such as leaves and bugs, and ultra-fine filter panels for tiny debris such as dust, dirt, and sand.
Verify that the filters are not clogged and that the robot is free from debris, as clogged filters can interfere with the suction process and prevent the robot from picking up debris effectively.
First, unplug the power supply from the outlet. Use a Phillips screwdriver, not a power drill.
If you notice debris trapped in the impeller, open it, remove the debris, and reassemble the impeller.
Check your filter's non-return valve–the opening at the bottom of the filter–or the little black pouch attached to it and make sure it is free of debris.
Rapid drain flap
If applicable to your robot, make sure that the rubber rapid drain flap on the back of the robot is securely installed.
Why isn't the robot cleaning the debris on the steps/ledge/tanning shelf?
It is important to note that our robots are not designed to clean steps, stairs, or ledges. We recommend brushing the debris from the steps onto to the floor of the pool so that the robot can clean the debris.
Our robots require submersion in at least 35” of water to function properly.
If there is debris in the seam of a steep slope, we recommend brushing the debris from the seam onto a flat surface so that the robot will be able to reach the debris.
Important tips!
Make sure to put enough blue cable in the water to allow the cleaner to reach all areas in the pool.
It is important to make sure that the robot has a cable long enough to allow full coverage of your pool. You can measure the distance between the two farthest corners of the pool to get an understanding of the amount of blue cable needed. If your pool's length is over 30', make sure to use a robot with a cable length of 60'.
It is important to make sure that your robot's brush type is compatible with your pool coating.
If your pool has a PVC, concrete tile, concrete, or gunite coating, it is most compatible with a robot that comes with a PVC brush.
If your pool has a PVC, rough ceramics, fiberglass, or mosaic coating, it is most compatible with a robot that comes with a Combined brush (nylon should be removed before use).
If your pool has a smooth ceramic, stainless steel, or glass coating, it is most compatible with a robot that comes with a Wonder brush.
Special Considerations for Ultra-Fine Filters
It is important to note that if you are using ultra-fine filters, even if they appear to be clean, they may still be obstructed by tiny particles such as sand and dust. A useful tip is to observe the color of the filter:
If the ultra-fine filters do not wash out white anymore, this is a clear sign that they are indeed clogged, and we recommend replacing them.
Once your filters are clean, your robot will be able to clean more effectively.
Washing Bag Filters and Cartridge Panels
For bag filters, they can be washed in a washing machine at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, and it is advisable to let them air dry.
As for the filter cartridge panels, these can be cleaned in a dishwasher set to 30 degrees Celsius.

If your Power Supply stops working, trips the GFCI outlet, or does not turn on at all, follow these troubleshooting steps to help diagnose and resolve the issue:
Step 1: Check the Power Source
Let's ensure that the issue is not originating from your home outlet. Try plugging the power supply into a different verified, working outlet or by disconnecting any extension cord that may be in use.
If the power supply still does not turn on, we can move on to the next step.
Step 2: Inspect the Blue and Black Cables
Examine the blue cable and the black power supply cord for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, kinks, or frays.
If you find any cable damage, the cable should be replaced. Submit a warranty claim or visit your nearest dealer if you purchased from a local dealer.
If both cables appear to be in satisfactory condition and free from any damage, proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Determine the Source of the Issue
Now let's identify whether the problem lies with the Dolphin's Motor, the Cable(s), or the Power Supply itself. To do this:
Disconnect the blue cable from the Power Supply Unit.
Plug the Power Supply Unit into a functioning electrical outlet.
Now, turn on the Power Supply Unit without reconnecting the blue cable.
Step 4: Does the Power Supply Unit turn on and stay on?
After following the previous steps, does the Power Supply Unit turn on and stay on?
Click here, if it does!
If the Power Supply turns and stays on, the issue is not with the Power Supply. There may be an issue with the Dolphin's cable or motor unit.
An authorized Dolphin technician should analyze and repair the robot. Click here to submit a repair request or contact your local dealer (if you purchased the robot from a local dealer).
