The Pool Robot That Finally Understands Every Inch of Your Pool

There is a particular satisfaction that comes from looking out at a perfectly clear pool. Not just clean, but immaculate. The water catches the light evenly, the steps are spotless, and even the shallow sun shelf looks as pristine as the deep end. For years, that level of perfection has required a mix of automation and manual effort. Until now.

As 2026 begins, Maytronics, the global leader behind the iconic Dolphin brand, introduces a pool cleaning robot that feels less like a machine and more like a meticulous caretaker. Meet the Dolphin EON, a new generation of intelligent pool robots designed to clean every part of the pool no other robot has been able to reach.

Unveiled in Las Vegas during CES, the Dolphin EON is not about incremental improvement. It represents a fundamental shift in how robotic pool cleaning works, particularly for modern pools designed with sun shelves, steps, curves, and varying depths.

Why Modern Pools Need Smarter Cleaning

Today’s pools are architectural statements. Baja shelves invite lounging. Wide steps blend seamlessly into the design. Curved walls and custom shapes replace rigid rectangles. While visually stunning, these features create challenges for traditional robotic cleaners, which often require full submersion and struggle in shallow or irregular areas.

The Dolphin EON was created specifically to solve this problem. Its unique design allows it to operate in water as shallow as eight inches, making it the first robotic cleaner capable of scrubbing sun ledges and tanning shelves with the same precision as deeper sections of the pool.

These shallow zones are often the dirtiest areas of a pool, collecting sunscreen residue, fine debris, and organic buildup. With EON, these once overlooked spaces are no longer an afterthought.

A Robot That Moves with Purpose

Watching the Dolphin EON at work feels different from watching conventional pool robots. Instead of random movement patterns, it navigates with intent.

Powered by advanced JetIQ technology, intelligent jets lift and guide the robot over steps, around corners, and across changing surfaces. The system automatically adjusts direction and momentum, allowing the EON to move smoothly from floors to walls to ledges without hesitation.

Its SmartMap navigation technology learns the shape of your pool and tailors its cleaning path accordingly. The result is complete coverage without wasted motion, ensuring that every cleaning cycle is both efficient and thorough.

Water That Looks Noticeably Clearer

Scrubbing is only half the story. True pool clarity depends on how effectively debris is captured and removed from circulation.

The Dolphin EON features ultra fine filtration designed to trap even microscopic particles. On the premium models, Maytronics introduces its patented DebrisLock backwash filtration system, an innovation that fundamentally changes maintenance expectations.

As the robot cleans, sensors monitor filter performance. When clogging is detected, the system automatically backwashes the filter while the robot remains in the pool. Dislodged debris is sealed inside the unit, preventing it from reentering the water.

The result is water that appears up to four times clearer compared to competing robotic cleaners, along with a dramatic reduction in filter cleaning frequency. For pool owners, this translates to less hands on work and more uninterrupted enjoyment.

Designed Around Effortless Ownership

Luxury today is measured by ease, and the Dolphin EON delivers it in abundance. Through an intuitive mobile app, owners can schedule cleanings, monitor progress, receive alerts, and troubleshoot without ever stepping outside.

Extended UltraRun cycles allow the robot to clean for hours without interruption, while Eco mode can keep a pool clean for weeks on a single charge. Hybrid power flexibility, arriving later in 2026, will offer both cordless freedom and plug in reliability depending on owner preference.

Every feature feels thoughtfully considered, designed to disappear into the background of daily life while quietly delivering exceptional results.

Built to Last Backed by Decades of Trust

With more than forty years of innovation behind it, Maytronics has built its reputation on durability and customer support. The Dolphin EON reflects this heritage with a modular design that simplifies servicing and a three year warranty that reinforces confidence in long term performance.

This is not a disposable gadget. It is a precision engineered system built to perform season after season, supported by an after sales network that understands pool ownership at every level.

A New Kind of Poolside Confidence

A clean pool has always been a symbol of relaxed luxury. The Dolphin EON elevates that symbol by removing the compromises pool owners have learned to accept. No more manually scrubbing sun shelves. No more debris lingering on steps. No more wondering if the robot missed a spot.

With its ability to clean every inch of the pool, from the deepest corners to the shallowest ledges, the Dolphin EON delivers something rare in home technology. Complete confidence.

For homeowners who see their pool as an extension of thoughtful design and elevated living, this is not just a new robot. It is a smarter way to care for one of the most beautiful spaces at home.
