FEATURES
- FILTERS: As evident as it can get, the cleaning performance is directly related to the quality of filters. Both, the Dolphin Sigma robotic pool cleaner and Dolphin C3 commercial robotic pool cleaner are equipped with two large top-load cartridge filters. These filters are known for capturing fine and ultra-fine debris in the best possible way. This ensures that your pool is sparkling clean in no time. Get rid of leaves, dirt, insects, etc. with absolute ease.
- NAVIGATION / MOBILITY: Both these robotic pool cleaners have this exceptional feature of “CleverClean” technology which is an intelligent navigation and scanning software. With the help of this software, it is possible for the robots to clean your pool in the best possible way by making use of some pre-programmed advanced algorithms. Also, no need to worry about how will your device deal with the obstacles while cleaning. All of this is already taken care of while designing them.
Also, Dolphin Sigma scores an extra point when it comes to navigation as it is equipped with an additional feature of “Gyroscope mobility system”. This feature enables the robot to target orientation as well as tilt. The gyroscope monitors angular velocity around the 3 axis of rotation namely – roll, pitch and yaw, thereby ensuring a better performance.
- BRUSHES: How good the brushes are talks a lot about the pool cleaners, without a doubt. When considering Dolphin Sigma and Dolphin C3 commercial robotic pool cleaners, you’re definitely not compromising on the quality of brushes.
