pool cleaner brush

Your Dolphin pool cleaner might act like a drama queen—spinning in circles, beeping erratically, or quitting mid-cleaning—but most issues have simple fixes. Clogged filters (empty them weekly) or worn pool cleaner brushes (replace annually) often cause weak suction or streaks. For Dolphin Nautilus models, error codes like E1 (jammed impeller) or E3 (overheating) usually just need debris cleared or a reset. Twisted power cords make cleaners move backward—untangle them or use a swivel. Avoid pool store upselling: skip “booster pumps” and instead maintain dolphin parts pool cleaner components like tracks, gears, and filters. For pool cleaner parts, OEM brushes last longer, but generic tracks work fine. Pro tips: Lubricate gears yearly with silicone grease (never WD-40), rinse saltwater units post-use, and store submerged in clean water off-season. If your cleaner won’t climb walls, adjust the float or replace worn pool cleaner kit treads. For persistent issues (grinding noises, burnt smells), check warranties before buying a new unit—many pool cleaner parts are cheaper than replacements. Shop smart: avoid Amazon’s sketchy “universal” parts and buy from Marina Pool Spa or PoolPartz. Remember, most “dead” Dolphins just need a reset, a clean, or a $20 part—not a $1,000 upgrade. Name your bot (e.g., “Sir Scrubs-a-Lot”) to tolerate its quirks!
