This is the genuine OEM grey combi (combination) PVC brush for the Dolphin Supreme M5 \u2014 the passive scrubbing roller that mounts at the standard-mouth opening and makes direct contact with the pool floor and walls on every pass. It combines a rigid PVC bristle strip with a smooth landing zone that accepts a sponge climbing ring, giving the M5 traction on smooth, tiled, and liner surfaces alike.<\/p>\n
The combi brush rotates against the pool surface as the M5’s drive motors turn the brush axle, loosening settled debris and directing it into the suction mouth. The smooth channel running along the brush body is where the separate climbing ring seats, enabling the robot to grip and climb walls rather than slipping back to the floor. Without a serviceable brush, debris pickup drops sharply and wall-climbing becomes unreliable.<\/p>\n
Part number 6101656 is confirmed for the Dolphin Supreme M5 and also crosses to a wide range of dual-motor Dynamic-platform models, including the DX5, DX5 Plus, DX6, M400, M500, Triton Plus, Apollo Plus, Evolution X5, C4, C5, and Oasis Z5. All of these share the same standard brush-mouth geometry, so the brush drops straight in. Check your specific chassis before ordering if you are unsure whether your variant uses the standard or wide mouth.<\/p>\n
PVC bristles wear down to a nub over a season or two of regular use, and the brush body itself can crack or warp under prolonged UV and chemical exposure. Visible signs are bristle fibres shorter than 5 mm, a cracked or split spine, a worn-smooth channel that no longer retains the climbing ring, and a noticeable decline in wall-climb success rate. Replace as soon as the brush fails to retain its climbing ring securely \u2014 a loose ring is a wall-climbing failure waiting to happen.<\/p>\n
Remove the M5 from the water and release the side panels or brush-access clips on the underside \u2014 no tools required on most Supreme M5 builds. Slide the worn brush off the axle rod, slide the new one on in the same orientation (smooth channel facing outward), and clip the panels back. Refit your existing climbing ring onto the new brush’s smooth channel. The whole swap takes under five minutes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
