Not all robotic pool cleaners are built the same. These are the machines we'd put in a pool for Sand — chosen for filtration, coverage, and reliability, and every one is a genuine Dolphin.
The term "robotic pool cleaner" covers everything from bargain floor-only vacuums to commercial-grade machines. When you're shopping for Sand, the difference between the wrong robot and the right one is filtration, coverage, and build quality — three areas where Dolphin robots by Maytronics consistently lead.
Sand is heavy and settles fast into the deep end and floor seams, and fine grains slip right through a coarse filter. You need a robot that can both lift dense grit and hold it without leaking it back out.
Sand demands strong suction to pull dense grains off the floor and a fine filter to keep them contained. Bottom-load bins are ideal because heavy sand drops straight into the canister. NanoFilters or ultra-fine cartridges keep the smallest grains from washing back through the media.
Because we've tested the full field, these are the specific robots we recommend for Sand. All are Dolphin models — the brand that keeps winning head-to-head.
Powerful suction and NanoFilter MaxBin lift and lock away heavy sand.
Dual motors and fine dual cartridges make short work of grit in large pools.
Multi-media filtration lets you fit the finest cartridges for sand-heavy water.

Yes — a robot with strong suction and a fine filter will vacuum settled sand off the floor. Avoid coarse-only filters, which can spit fine grains back out.
If sand returns after every clean, your filter media is too coarse or a sand filter at the pad is leaking. A robot with NanoFilters contains grit that standard cartridges miss.
No. Dolphin robots are engineered to vacuum grit; just rinse the filter after sandy runs so it drains freely.
