Maytronics - Dolphin float for Nauty TC, Swash TC and Acapoolco TC - 6250941

Maytronics Dolphin float for Nauty TC, Swash TC and Acapoolco TC

This is the genuine OEM Maytronics buoyancy float (ref. 6250941) designed for the Dolphin Nauty TC, Swash TC and Acapoolco TC robotic pool cleaners, as well as the broader EasyKleen family. It sits on the robot’s body and provides the upward buoyancy force that keeps the unit correctly oriented and stable in the water column during operation.

What this float does in the Dolphin

The float counteracts the robot’s weight in water, preventing it from dragging along the bottom under excessive downforce and helping it maintain the correct pitch and attitude as it traverses pool walls and the waterline. Without a serviceable float the robot loses buoyancy balance, which strains the drive motors and degrades cleaning coverage on vertical surfaces.

Which Dolphin models it fits

This float is confirmed to fit the Dolphin Nauty (TC), Swash CL/TC, Star (Plus), Acapoolco (TC), Baly, DB4 O’Clair, DX4, Facil’O, Mybot, Ozeo and Zyke — all sharing Maytronics platform model references 99996041, 99996042, 99996044, 99996046, 99996049, 99996051 and 99996056. It is also listed as a compatible replacement for the Dolphin EasyKleen (ref. 25370), Pulit E50 and Vitrium (earlier variants).

Signs it needs replacing

Replace this float if you notice the robot listing to one side underwater, struggling to climb walls it previously handled without difficulty, or if the body shows visible cracking, waterlogging or permanent deformation of the float section. A float that has lost buoyancy will also increase current draw on the drive motor as it compensates for the extra drag.

How to install it

The float clips or mounts directly onto the robot chassis without tools on most variants — consult the exploded parts diagram for your specific model reference to confirm the exact attachment method. Installation takes around five to ten minutes and requires no specialist equipment beyond the diagram and this replacement part.
