Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro

Name: Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro
Brand: Dolphin
Price: 999 USD

Adding waterline scrubbing and a 50-foot rating to the Nautilus line is what the CC Pro is for. It keeps the app scheduling and swivel of the CC Plus, weighs about three pounds less, and Maytronics rates it for above-ground pools as well.

The two lists above come from the maker’s own specifications and this site’s arithmetic on them, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

What owners say

Owners choose the CC Pro when they want the waterline done and a basket instead of filter panels, and on those two points they are satisfied. The recurring practical question is filters: it comes with coarse mesh, and owners share part numbers for the ultra-fine ones.

The reliability picture is mixed in the familiar Dolphin way — some units work very well, some fail early, and the power supply is the part named most. Owners who had a problem under warranty generally describe Maytronics sending parts.

For the Nautilus line's waterline scrub on a mid-range budget, this is the one to look at. Buy the ultra-fine filters (owners report 9991467-R4 fits) if fine debris matters.

What owners like

Owners who wanted waterline scrubbing and a basket rather than filter panels picked it for exactly those two things.
It accepts Dolphin's ultra-fine filter: an owner confirmed the official 9991467-R4 elements fit, and another had Maytronics ship ultra-fine filters free under warranty just by asking in chat.
Owners upgrading from an old suction cleaner call it a clear step up in cleaning.
Owners who compared manuals describe it as essentially the same robot as a Dolphin sold under other names at other retailers, which helps with parts.

Common complaints

It ships with basic mesh filters, and finding ultra-fine ones that owners were sure would fit took some digging.
Reliability complaints include a unit that moved six inches, stopped and errored straight out of the box, and a power supply that failed in year one and gave connection trouble in year two.
The app is so-so and manual drive is clunky, by an otherwise happy owner's account.
One owner found fragments of their pebble finish in the canister and worried the robot was wearing the surface.

Questions owners ask about the Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro

Which ultra-fine filters fit the Nautilus CC Pro?

An owner confirmed the official Dolphin 9991467-R4 filters fit. Another got ultra-fine filters from Maytronics free under warranty by asking through the website chat.

CC Plus or CC Pro?

Owners choosing between them point to the CC Pro's waterline scrubbing and basket-style filter; the CC Plus uses filter panels and skips the waterline.

What fails on a CC Pro?

The power supply is the part owners name most, including a first-year failure covered by warranty. One brand-new unit errored out immediately.
