Dolphin Proteus DX5i Troubleshooting

What should I do if my Dolphin Proteus DX5i Pool Cleaner does not turn or only moves in one direction?

If your Dolphin Proteus DX5i is not turning or is moving in one direction only, consider these steps:

  • Inspect for Blockages: Check the impeller-house and impeller-cover for any debris that may be obstructing movement. Clear any blockages found.
