Buying guidance

Aquabot Elite Pro or Dolphin Triton PS: our take

Aquabot Elite Pro and Dolphin Triton PS are compared on pool fit, cleaning reach, debris handling, controls and ownership details. The recommendation is based on the job the robot must do—not a simple feature count.

Pool fit and cleaning reach

Both robots are intended for inground pools. Dolphin Triton PS has a published maximum pool length of 50 ft; the other model does not have a verified length in our source material. Each cleans floor, walls, and waterline, so coverage alone does not separate them. Aquabot Elite Pro lists AquaSmart navigation. Dolphin Triton PS lists 1 active brush.

Filtration and debris

Aquabot Elite Pro includes Standard filter; Dolphin Triton PS includes Basket. Dolphin Triton PS has the better documented path for bulky leaves and larger debris.

Controls and day-to-day ownership

Aquabot Elite Pro provides smartphone control; Dolphin Triton PS provides a weekly timer and power-supply controls.

Price, warranty and the decision

Aquabot Elite Pro is listed at $999 and Dolphin Triton PS at $1,099; Aquabot Elite Pro is $100 less. Aquabot Elite Pro lists a 3-year warranty compared with 2 years for Dolphin Triton PS. Aquabot Elite Pro and Dolphin Triton PS each have a specific fit, but neither is the Pool Express pick for this job. Our better alternative is Dolphin Quantum. Inground pools up to 50 ft that need floor, wall and waterline cleaning, with fine debris.
