<\/a><\/p>\n The 2017<\/a> Dolphin Triton Plus With PowerStream<\/strong> robotic swimming pool cleaner is a beast. It is pricey, but it has the features to justify the price tag.<\/p>\n Every feature, from the filter system<\/strong> to the smart navigational software<\/strong>, has been designed for maximum performance. The Dolphin Triton Plus will thoroughly clean your swimming pool while consuming\u00a0as little energy\u00a0as possible.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a powerful and intelligent in-ground pool cleaner<\/a><\/strong>, I highly recommend Dolphin Triton Plus. It has several features\u00a0you don\u2019t find in standard robotic pool cleaners such as:\u00a0Bluetooth remote control<\/strong>, a smartphone app<\/strong> and a special feature specifically for vertical cleaning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When it comes to cleaning, there is one feature that sets this robotic cleaner apart from all\u00a0others.<\/p>\n Maytronics<\/a> calls it,\u00a0PowerStream<\/strong>. It is designed specifically to improve the robot\u2019s vertical climbing ability, thus allowing it to easily reach and clean the wall and waterline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PowerStream is activated when the cleaner begins its vertical climb. Multiple powerful water jets<\/strong> are emitted in different directions, pressing the\u00a0\u00a0robot strongly against the wall.<\/p>\n This extra-strong grip<\/strong> allows the Dolphin Triton Plus cleaner to navigate vertically and reach every spot on the wall, without falling down or getting confused, as so many other cleaners do.<\/p>\n The addition of PowerStream does make\u00a0a huge difference in vertical cleaning. Other robotic cleaners tend to struggle with the walls and steps, forcing homeowners to finish the cleaning themselves. The Dolphin Triton Plus does a perfect job in one pass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The new Triton does not just rely on PowerStream for cleaning, however. Another important feature is the active brushing system<\/strong>. A large brush spins at twice the speed of the robot, ensuring that even the most stubborn dirt is loosened.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The brush system is especially helpful\u00a0if your pool hasn\u2019t been cleaned in a while and has\u00a0a lot of grime stuck on the floor and walls.<\/p>\n Overall, the Dolphin Triton Plus with PowerStream<\/strong> gets an A+ in cleaning ability<\/strong>. It handles the floor like a piece of cake, scrubs the walls clean in no time and leaves no spot untouched on the stairs.<\/p>\n Dolphin robotic cleaners<\/a> are known for their oversized filter cartridges.<\/p>\n The Dolphin Triton Plus with PowerStream is no different. It comes with an over-sized top access basket<\/strong>. This allows it to collect all kinds of debris in one go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new Triton Plus also comes with four fine and four ultra-fine filters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can choose the best filters depending on what kind of debris you need to clean.<\/p>\n For fine sand and tiny algae, the ultra-fine filters are perfect. For larger particles, twigs and leaves, the fine filters are better suited for the job.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The addition of Bluetooth remote control<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the most unique features of the Dolphin Triton Plus.<\/p>\n Most robotic pool cleaners with a remote control use a dedicated special-purpose hand-held remote. But with\u00a0the new Dolphin Triton Plus, you replace just use\u00a0your smartphone.<\/p>\n To connect and control the cleaner, install\u00a0the MyDolphin app – it’s\u00a0available\u00a0for both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using the app, you\u00a0can steer your Triton Plus\u00a0using a virtual joystick or by tilting your phone in the direction you want the robot to go. It makes for a really cool\u00a0experience, certainly more fun than using a handheld remote control.<\/p>\n Because it uses Bluetooth, you need to\u00a0be within about a 30 foot range to control the cleaner using your phone.<\/p>\n An LED indicator on the robot will tell you what mode it is in. Blue means normal mode (autonomous cleaning) and green indicates that it is being controlled by a smartphone.<\/p>\n On the app, you can also set the\u00a0weekly cleaning timer<\/strong>, to clean your pool unassisted,\u00a0automatically, at certain times during the week.<\/p>\n The\u00a0first time you put Dolphin Triton Plus in your\u00a0pool, it seems to be wandering around\u00a0with no rhyme or reason.<\/p>\n But by the second session, it has developed\u00a0a strategy for your pool.<\/p>\n This is the work of the CleverClean navigation system<\/strong>. It uses a variety of sensors plus AI\u00a0software to map\u00a0the lay of the land\u00a0in your pool. It maps out the shape and size, understanding how the floor is shaped and where the curves and corners are.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once it successfully maps the pool, the Dolphin Triton Plus\u00a0uses its scanners to ensure that every inch of the floor and wall is covered in a quick, efficient and thorough manner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I can happily report (along with other owners)\u00a0that you probably won’t\u00a0have to go back in to scrub spots missed by the robotic pool cleaner.<\/p>\n Maytronics upgraded a lot of features in the Dolphin Triton Plus with PowerStream.<\/p>\n One of the features that got an upgrade was the swivel cable. The engineers had something even better in mind.<\/p>\n They created algorithms that are able to keep the cable from tangling<\/strong> as the Dolphin does its work.<\/p>\n This is the first robotic pool cleaner we have seen that ditches the popular hardware solution for a system that uses\u00a0smart anti-tangle algorithms. It is not just a fancy solution, it is an effective one too.<\/p>\n Though a swivel cable would have worked just as fine, we love seeing innovative solutions like this – as long as they work!<\/p>\n The automatic weekly timer<\/strong> is very convenient. You can go about your work away from home, confident that your pool will be cleaned regularly, ready for use at any time.<\/p>\n There are two ways you can set the weekly timer: using the app in your smartphone or on the control unit connected to the cleaner via a cable.<\/p>\n There are three handy buttons<\/strong> on the control unit that really simplify scheduling. The first button sets the cleaner to automatically clean every day for a week; the second button every other day; and, the third button every three days.<\/p>\n Most pool owners will find the everyday and every other day settings to be ideal. Once the week is over, you have to manually select the preferred timer again.<\/p>\n The weekly timer is a huge plus for those who are not always at home to manually start the cleaner. You don\u2019t have to wait until the weekend to get your pool cleaned.<\/p>\n The basket is really big, much bigger than you typically\u00a0find on\u00a0a compact robot cleaner like this one. To access it, you simply lift the top cover and the basket handle springs upwards.<\/p>\n You then lift it out and clean it. A bottom panel opens downwards to allow collected leaves and debris to fall out.<\/p>\n Use a hose to clean the filters, and the basket is ready to go back inside the cleaner. Popping it back in is as easy as removing it.<\/p>\n The Dolphin Triton Plus comes with two sets of filters<\/strong>. They include 4 fine filters<\/strong> and 4 ultra-fine filters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can pop in any combination of\u00a0four, depending on what kind of cleaning you want.<\/p>\n For a regular cleaning, most users recommend inserting two fine (regular) filters and two ultra-fine filters<\/strong>. This allows the cleaner to capture all sizes of debris from small algae to large leaves.<\/p>\n Replacing a filter with another is easy and takes about a minute or so.<\/p>\n It is a hot Saturday afternoon and there are unexpected guests coming over in an hour. The pool is fairly clean though you can see a few particles in the water and some dirty patches at the bottom. What do you do?<\/p>\n Worry not, the Dolphin Triton Plus has the perfect solution. Normally, it operates under a 2-hour cycle<\/strong>. In this mode, it cleans every nook and cranny including the walls, stairs and floor.<\/p>\n But you can switch it to a Quick Clean mode for those last-minute\u00a0visitors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The quick clean mode keeps the cleaner running for just\u00a01 hour<\/strong>. It only does the floor, leaving the walls and steps for the full 2-hour cycle.<\/p>\n This mode is handy when the pool isn\u2019t too dirty and you just need a quick scrubbing.<\/p>\n
