I bought it ten days ago. It does not clean the pool in 3 hours. It stays in the deep end and goes to the shallow end maybe 2 times during the 3 hour cycle, and by that I mean it goes to the shallow end,turns around and goes right back to the deep end. What a joke. This thing has no "sensor" in it. I really think robotic pool cleaners are a waste of money and time at best and a big old rip off at worst.

Obviously, it is worthless if it won't run. Second, the unit goes to the deep end and stays there. It's not capable of climbing the slope from the deep to the shallow water. While my unit is in the shop, they gave me a loaner, Aquabot T2. It runs continuously, but will not clean a vertical wall. It falls on it's back like a turtle and is incapable of up-righting itself. It also has trouble climbing the slope from the deep water to the shallow. I have a rectangular 20 X 40 ft. pool with vertical walls and 45 degree slope from shallow to deep end. I judge both of these units as unacceptable for my type of pool.

Now need to make a decision about a new unit. Unit lasted 6 years. Twice we had to have the unit repaired because it woulds not start. Both times work done free. Third time repair bill was $640. Would not pay. Struggling to choose a new unit. I read that Dolphin cleans pool well WHEN WORKING. Mine cleaned the deepend and sides really well. But it rarely got to the shallow end of the Grecian shaped pool without me holding the cord and dragging it to the shallow end. I am considering buying a remote for an extra $150 - $250, depending upon brand I choose. 1. If you have an opinion about whether the remotes ACTUALLY WORK, please let me know. I'd hate to waste the money on the remote. 2. What do you find about brands. I only want to spend between $800 and $1000, so I am not willing to spend the money on the top of the line Aquabots for $1400+. Thanks for your ideas. Bob Had a Dolphin pool cleaner.

The correct level for stabiliser is 37.5ppm (to be exact), over 30ppm is PLENTY. The correct level of salt depends on your model of chlorinator, to say 3200ppm without knowing the brand or model is a joke, and incorrect, 99% of chlorinators require AT LEAST 3500ppm and some need up to 6000ppm. A chlorinator that is designed to work on 6000ppm often will not produce any chlorine below 4500ppm, so firstly check what your particular chlorinator needs, then check your salt level. If that is correct and you have a chlorine reading of at least 3ppm then check your pH (should be between 7 and 7.7 depending on the pool surface, fibreglass should be 7-7.3, concrete 7.4-7.7) and Total Alkalinity (80-120 for fibreglass, 110-140 for concrete). The best tip there is, is get your water tested regularly at a pool shop, it is usually free and they spend all day every day dealing with pools of all shapes and sizes, they know what they're doing. the above comment is COMPLETELY wrong, you must NEVER have more than 90ppm of stabiliser as that will block the chlorine and no amount of chlorine will have any effect.

It doesn't seem to be doing it's job. I can understand a few leaves being left behind, but the whole pool? I dunno. I am a pool cleaner. Maybe the homeowner or workers aren't turning it on regularly between visits. I suspect though, that the cleaner isn't working right. I wish they had a Polaris 280 or similar. Those are my favorite and they seem to work well. I don’t think I like the Dolphin Diagnostic pool cleaner. It doesn’t seem to be doing it’s job.

The cord stays in a constant mess! I think it is easier to manually vacuum the pool than clean the Dolphin and trying to keep the cord untangled. It weighs a ton and now to get it repaired I have to haul it somewhere and send it off to have looked at! I don't think it is worth the moneys I paid for it!

Had a Dolphin Diagnostic for three years and it died. Repair cost $842.00 (ridiculous)! Customer service no help at all-what a big joke. I will try an Aquabot or Blue Diamond with a 4 year warranty since these things never seem to last that long anyway. Stay AWAY from Dolphin. Had a Dolphin Diagnostic for three years and it died.
