One of the standout features of the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is its wall-climbing capability. Users appreciate the versatility and effectiveness of this model, regardless of their pool’s design or surface materials. It has gained a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy pool cleaner that lives up to its promises.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to remove the Dolphin from the pool after each use. This allows for easy emptying and rinsing of the filters, as well as the removal of excess chemicals. While the Dolphin can be left in the pool for up to a week if it has a weekly scheduler, it’s best to store it away when not in use.
When it comes to taking the Dolphin out of the pool, gently pull on the blue floating cable to bring the cleaner to the pool’s edge. The handle should then be grasped to lift the robot out of the water, allowing any remaining water to drain. It’s important not to pull the Dolphin out using the cable to avoid potential damage.

Proper cable management is essential for hassle-free operation. While the Dolphin is in use, release only the necessary length of cable to cover your pool adequately, leaving the excess rolled loosely outside the pool. Periodically, untangle and straighten the cable, leaving it in the sun for a few hours to remove any tangling or kinks.
Overall, the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus is highly regarded for its outstanding performance and value for money. It has gained a loyal following due to its ability to handle various pool conditions, significantly reduce manual cleaning efforts, and provide a thorough clean for a wide range of pool shapes and surfaces.
Do Not Buy If
- You need something lightweight. It’s relatively heavy at 19 lbs (plus it will be more with added water weight), making it challenging to lift out of the water without pulling the cord.
- You don’t want to do some level of touch-ups in the corners. Any pool cleaner out there is going to have a hard time in some areas where the sides of the pool meet the bottom, requiring manual brushing.
