1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Dolphin Bio suction pool cleaner expertly cleans biological and nature swimming pools.

As a result, it has been designed to handle large amounts of algae and dirt.

2. The robot can be operated in two modes:

Operation without external suction (regular mode - the robot collects dirt in built-in ﬁltration

cartridges .

Operation with an external suction source: It is recommended to consult your dealer before

connecting the robot to an external pump.

Intended for pools with large amounts of algae and dirt. Dirt collected by the robot is transferred

through a pipe connected to an external pump and a ﬁlter. The pipe can be connected to virtually

any standard pool pump.

• In this mode, the external pump must be turned on throughout the robot’s operation.

3. The robot has a weekly timer option which allows the cleaning schedule to be set for the coming

week.

4. The default work cycle time is 3 hours.

5. Using the remote control, the work cycle time can be changed to 2 or 4 hours, according to the

pool’s speciﬁc cleaning requirements.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

Motor protection: IP 68

Minimum pool depth: 0.80m (2.6ft)

Maximum pool depth: 5m (16.4ft)

Water temperature: 6-34°C (43-93°F)

3. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

3.1.

CAUTION

Warnings

• Use only the original power supply provided with the robot.

• Ensure the electrical outlet is protected by a ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an earth

leakage interrupter (ELI).

• Keep the power supply out of standing water.

• Position the power supply at least 3m (10ft) away from the edge of the pool.

• Do not enter the pool while the robot is working.

• Unplug the power supply before servicing or cleaning the robot.

• Do not attempt to use the robot to clean a pool that has stones on the ﬂoor. This voids the

warranty.

• Maytronics is not responsible for any damage to the external pump.

• Maytronics is not responsible for damage done to pool vegetation.
