Pollen Is a Fine-Filtration Problem
Pollen grains are microscopic and float, so a robot needs both surface agitation and ultra-fine filtration to remove them. NanoFilters™ capture pollen that ordinary mesh baskets let straight through — the same filtration that wins for fine dirt and dust.
Recommended for Pollen Season
Dolphin ProLine™ cleaners (Quantum, Premier, Sigma) include NanoFilters™ and run efficiently enough to clean daily during peak pollen — the best strategy for staying ahead of the yellow film. Set a weekly timer to daily cycles from March through May. As one of the largest authorized dealers and retailers of robotic pool cleaners online, we've hand-tested 70+ robots across every major brand — every recommendation below comes from real poolside experience, and every unit we sell is factory-direct with a full manufacturer warranty.
Pollen-Season Playbook
- Run the robot daily during peak pollen; rinse the NanoFilter™ after each cycle.
- Run your main pump a few extra hours a day to pull floating pollen into the skimmer.
- If your pool is screened, pollen is likely your main debris — see our screened pool guide.
