Polaris has no power cord is what I am saying - booster pump pushes water from the wall in the pool and water powers the Polaris. That Dolphin has a power cord you have to plug into the power pack that “should be placed no closer than 12’ from pool”. So, Dolphin has power cord running across your pool deck and Polaris does not.



I store my caddy for the Dolphin in my pool equipment enclosure. I roll it out once a week and drop it in. The caddy has a transformer attached that plugs into a standard 120v outlet. The waterproof 12v line then runs from the caddy to the Dolphin. I don't swim with it in the pool and the cord wraps around the caddy when not in use. Much easier to store away than the Polaris side suction was. You can see the caddy and cord in this picture (not me).

I bought my Pentair Warrior SE from Marina Pool Spa & Patio for $699. I heard about them from troublefreepool.


That is where I got my Dolphin M400. Best price I found.

Did you call and ask for this deal? I don't see it on the website.

It is against their map agreement. They cant advertise. You have to call and ask.

I have a Dolphin Nautilus being delivered today. Pretty pumped to see how this thing does. I'm coming from an 8yr old suction machine so it's not a very high bar.

now i need to figure out what to do with the booster pump.

I use mine to run a fountain. If I get real motivated I may see about making one of those solar arrays to help warm it and run it with it.

Johnny 5 came in earlier this week, but I’ve been tied up. Taking him out for his maiden voyage shortly. I do wish the cart was a little sturdier.
