The Dolphin Oasis Z5 Makes a Big Splash

The 2014 pool season is getting under way, and it's time to take a look at what the pool cleaning manufacturers have for us in 2014. A handful of new cleaners are arriving which makes me excited for this year's fun in the sun.


 

The next generation of the of the top-selling Dolphin Pool Cleaner Robots is the new Dolphin Oasis Z5 a fantastic upgrade for 2014.

What You Get

1. Maytronics continue their cleaning innovation with their clever clean technology and there is no doubt that the Dolphin Oasis will impress in its ability to identify obstacles and efficiently maneuver the robot back into an efficient scanning pattern.

2. The cable swivel continues to be a standard feature for most Dolphin cleaners. I love it because it means no more tangled cables.

3. Floor, wall and waterline cleaning means you can rest assured that your pool will be clean top to bottom.

4. The robot moves across your pool like a little pool cleaning tank. The dual drive allows the cleaner to adjust, pivot, and turn with ease. This means that regardless of your pool's shape or slope you'll get optimal pool maneuverability.

5. Dual-level filtration comes with an ultra-fine and spring net filters which means it will clean all types of debris down to the tiniest specks.

6. Bonus: The Dolphin Oasis comes standard with a caddy and remote control for automatic or manual operation. The remote makes it easy to set cycle time, cleaning programs, and operation delay.

While The Z5 does not come with the full filter indicator it does have a clogged filter indicator which ensures ongoing cleaning efficiency. The full filter indicator is mostly a convenience. As a pool owner you should be familiar with the cleaning process and checking all filters regularly. I recommend checking the robot cleaner filters before and after every use. It's a good habit to get into and will prolong the health of your cleaner.

The Dolphin Oasis Z5 doesn't come with center brush found other cleaners. This won't be missed. For most Dolphin models, the center brush isn't motorized and isn't part of the active brushing system. The most important brushes you will need are the two brushes at the front and rear of the device.  

Why Buy the Dolphin Oasis? 

We got our hands on an Oasis Z5 to review and we put it to the test. The cleaning pattern was efficient and after three hours we couldn't have been more pleased with the results. Our pools went from a murky green/blue to sparkling clean and clear water in one full cleaning cycle.

In all, the Dolphin Oasis is a great little cleaner that will make you smile. If you are looking for a reliable robotic pool cleaner at an affordable price and probably the best warranty you'll find (3-year warranty on all parts), I recommend you take a serious look at one of the best new robotic pool cleaners available. You won't regret your purchase of the Oasis Z5.

Note: Unlike the many of the Dolphin cleaners the warranty for the Dolphin Oasis Z5 will be honored if purchased through online dealers.
