What pools is the E50 made for?

Dolphin designs it for in-ground pools up to 50 feet. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You plug it in, drop it in the pool and start a cycle from the robot or the MyDolphin Plus app.

How do I clean the filter?

The filter basket loads from the top, so you lift it out and rinse it without reaching into the robot.

How heavy is it to lift out?

It weighs 16.5 lbs, one of the lightest Wi-Fi Dolphins, so one person can carry and store it.

Does it work without the app?

Yes. You can run cleanings from the unit itself; the app adds scheduling, cycle choice and spot cleaning from your phone.

How does it compare with premium Dolphins?

It covers floor, wall and waterline cleaning with app control but skips extras found on premium models, and it is much lighter.
