Maytronics Dolphin S 300i Questions & Answers
9 questions from our users
Bridgdasked
I have had my cleaner for 3 years. It stopped working properly - would start then stop. I looked up how to clean the impellor etc. Did all that. Still will not work properly but can see it is sucking in the water as it should do. On further investigation we found the wheel that drives the track thing was slipping although cogs seemed OK. Have put it in for repair and quoted $280 and seems like everything is being replaced including the motor. I am not so sure this is right?? Have been dissatisfied as just on two years the cord that connects to the power box stopped working and I got hit up to have that replaced. Then since the people that supplied and installed the pool were questionable - the dophin they sold with the package did not have a long enough cord to clean the pool so had to have an extension cord which meant the control box was in the sun - it perished and I had to spend a small fortune to have that replaced - now this. For something that is 3 years old with a replacement value of around$2500 I would expect more from it - as stated by the Australian consumer law. I am asking for you to please cover the costs of this repair - I have not had it long enough to be having most of it replaced as follows :
1 x IMPELLER MOTOR - S Series
2 x Wheel Bush - S Series
2 x Front Wheel - S Series
1 x Active brush adaptor(R)
1 x Active brush adaptor (L)
2 x Active brush bushing
2 x Wheel bearing adaptor
2 x Active brush bushing

Politaasked
Hi, Could you tell Me if the demo unit is as good and strong as the buyable one? Or does it have any difference?

Linda N.asked
Hi Maytronics I live in an area (far west NSW) where dust storms are more frequent, several times per week over several months, depending on the time of year. Much fine dust, grainy dust and other stuff gets into the pool. Is the Dolphin s300i a machine capable of removing fine dust (we have a demo model at present demonstrating it well removes larger debris)? We don't have access to professional cleaners who can perform micro cleaning. Looking forward to your advice.
2 answers
This machine will definitely do the job, we get a lot of sand blown into our pool and this cleaner handles the job with little effort.
Maytronics A.Maytronics
Hi Linda. The Dolphin S300i has ultra-fine filters fitted to the filter basket. This filter kit has a micron size of fifty and is best suited for smaller, finer debris. Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team on 1300 693 657 option 2 or via email to [email protected] for any further information.
Paul B.asked
My s300i isn't collecting the dirty rain residue on the bottom of the pool the scrubbers are mearly recirculating it into the water after several cycles although initially appears cleaner once the debbie settles we are back to stage
Is there a problem with the unit it is only 1 month old
1 answer
Maytronics A.Maytronics
Hi Paul. The Dolphin S300i has a dual filtration basket whereby ultra-fine filters are fitted to the basket frame and a net insert sits within it. This net insert is able to be removed to focus on the finer debris. If the rain residue is due to a recent storm whereby red dust was a result, it may be that the pool requires a professional service to manually vacuum this debris from the pool prior to the robot's use. Please contact our Customer Care Team via email to [email protected] or on 1300 693 657 option 2 for further assistance.

Blair W.asked
Does this cleaner work on smooth tiled pools with walls set from floor at right angles? Struggling to find something that will climb walls and do water lines for my pool. Most fall away
2 answers
Hi Blair, my pool is a smooth painted pool but is curved floor to wall and has no problem climbing the wall to scrub the water line. I first saw the S300i on display in a Perspex box that climbed the wall at a sharp right angle so I can’t see why it couldn’t do that for you. Maytronics will have a local rep in your area that can come and try out the cleaner before committing to a purchase.
Maytronics A.Maytronics
Hi Blair. The Dolphin S300i is suitable for use on various surface types, including tile. If you are unsure as to whether this particular robot may be suitable, we recommend scheduling a demonstration with your closest Maytronics dealer. Please visit us at https://book.mydolphin.com.au/ to arrange a demonstration or, contact our Customer Care Team on 1300 693 657 option 2 or [email protected] for further information. Have a great day.
l smithasked
can I direct my S300I around the pool with the power supply?
3 answers
No not at all, only with the phone app, which in my opinion was rubbish at best, but the power supply has no control at all beyond selecting quick clean (floor only) or full clean, and a few programs such as once a day or every second day (i think) but I don't use those as i don't leave the unit in the pool.
Maytronics A.Maytronics
Good Morning. If you would like the option to manually drive your Dolphin S300i, this is able to be done via the MyDolphin smartphone application as it is not able to be done from the power supply itself. Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care team on 1300 693 657 option 2 or [email protected] for further information.
thanks
