Buy Dolphin QuantumDolphin Nautilus CC Pro or Dolphin Triton PS: our take
Dolphin Nautilus CC 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. Both are rated for pools up to 50 ft. Each cleans floor, walls, and waterline, so coverage alone does not separate them. Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro lists CleverClean navigation. Dolphin Triton PS lists 1 active brush.
Filtration and debris
Both models include Basket.
Controls and day-to-day ownership
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro provides a weekly timer and smartphone control; Dolphin Triton PS provides a weekly timer and power-supply controls. Both use a 60 ft corded cable with an anti-tangle swivel.
Price, warranty and the decision
Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro is listed at $1,199 and Dolphin Triton PS at $1,099; Dolphin Triton PS is $100 less. Each lists a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Dolphin Nautilus CC 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.
