Dolphin pool cleaner cables and swivels

The blue cable is the part of a Dolphin that takes the most abuse: dragged over coping, coiled in the sun, twisted by every turn the robot makes. Cables differ in length, in the number of wires (two for the simplest robots, three for the ones with a remote or an app) and in whether they carry a swivel, so the model number settles which one you need.

Find the right cable for your Dolphin

Length, wire count and swivel all have to match the power supply.

Start with your model

The cable Maytronics lists for it has the right length for its pool size and the right plug for its power supply.

Count the pins on the old plug

Two or three. A three-wire cable on a two-wire robot, or the reverse, will not work.

Keep the swivel if you had one

The swivel lets the cable untwist as the robot turns. DIY kits include the connector, so you fit the cable yourself.

Power cords 1

Narrow to your model

The cord from the wall outlet to the power supply; one cord fits almost every corded Dolphin.

Swivel cables 12

Narrow to your model

The floating cable with the anti-tangle swivel at the robot end, by length and wire count.

Cables without a swivel 5

Narrow to your model

Two-wire and three-wire cables for the Dolphins that manage without a swivel, with the float where the model uses one.

When to replace a Dolphin cable

It tangles every cycle

A seized swivel winds the cable up until the robot is held back from the far end of the pool. Clean the swivel first; if it still will not turn, replace the cable.

There is a nick, a kink or a bulge

Water enters through the smallest cut and corrodes the wires. A swollen section means the cable is already wet inside.

The robot stops and starts

An intermittent fault, with the power supply light flickering, is a cable or swivel contact far more often than a motor.

Dolphin pool cleaner cables: your questions

How long is a Dolphin cable?

Most residential Dolphins use 50 to 60 ft; the commercial Wave robots run 78 to 130 ft. Pick your model and the cable listed is the right length for its pool rating.

What does the swivel on a Dolphin cable do?

It is a rotating joint at the robot end. As the robot turns, the swivel turns with it, so the cable does not twist into a knot over a cycle.

Can I replace a Dolphin cable myself?

Yes. Unplug the power supply, open the robot's cable cover, swap the connector and close it up. The DIY cables come with the connector that fits your robot.

Still not sure? Ask a Pool Pro.

Not sure this is the right part?

Send a Pool Pro your robot's model number (on the label under the handle) and a photo of the old part. We will confirm the Maytronics part number and where to get it.
