Vaccuum tubes in proteus 82/4/2024 ![]() ![]() The robot does a pretty good job, but to be honest I'm a little let down in the overall performance given the price I paid. ![]() Works well, but didn't exceed my expectationsĪmazon Customer - Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2022 ![]() A bit of an investment but so far, Happy with my extra leisure time not cleaning the pool. Leave that would clog up the suction cleaner are no problem for this gem. They do offer an "Ultra Fine" filter that looks like the material from an auto air filter. The included "Fine" filter doesn't trap it. One problem I have noticed is that the "Scrubbing Brushes" have loosened the mineral deposits left by our city's famous hard water, leaving behind a fine silt at the bottom of the pool. I only put this in for the purpose of cleaning but can leave it in if I don't get back to it. I used to leave the kreapy in the pool 90% of the time so that it would be ready when the pump came on but had to remove it when we wanted to swim. I did purchase the Caddy and cover which allows me to wrap up the cord and protect it from the elements when not in the pool plus makes it easier to move out of the way so the patio doesn't look cluttered. I also worried about lifting the unit out of the pool but this 65yr old Arthritic patient handles it with ease. It has a large basket with a trap drawer that opens easily and takes less than a minute to clean and drop back in and is ready to go again. The DOLPHIN Proteus DX4 doesn't have the filter panels like most of the basic cleaner. I then looked at the different "Corded" models and worried about the small filters since I have several trees and spend much time with the leaf skimmer. At first I looked at the Battery operated ones but worried about the customer complaints about not having enough charge to fully clean the pool. Be someone who love my toys, I looked at the higher end free standing models. Everything seemed to effect it from dirty filter sand, cracked hoses, worn out flipper, hose plate movement, etc.etc, I began shopping for it's replacement. I was at the mercy of the pump's suction. My only regret is not buying this vacuum, at the beginning of summer!īruce Eichhorst - Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022Īfter years of owning and repairing my trusty Kreapy Krauly, it just wasn't getting the job done. A minor detail, but one I wasn't aware of until after some trial and error! Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. please note, It is important to keep the vacuum level as you take it out of the pool so the contents of the basket do not dump back into the pool. The entire basket lifts out so the contents can easily be disposed of and the entire unit can be hosed off quickly and efficiently. It is always ready to go! I use it once a week and the pool has never been so clean! It has been the best money I have ever spent towards pool maintenance! I am very pleased with how easy the vacuum is to clean out, as well. I was impressed with the amount of water that the Vacuum itself moved, as well as the amount of debris it sucked up! The vacuum even climbed the sides of my above ground pool! The fact that it plugs in, means there is no waiting for the battery to recharge after each use. ![]() I took it out of the box, read the super helpful directions and I was cleaning the pool in no time. So, I decided to purchase it and the vacuum arrived the next day. After taking a poll, the Dolphin Proteus DX3 was the clear choice.
