This is the genuine Maytronics foam ring that slides onto the combined brush roller of the Dolphin Supreme M5. Measuring \u00d845 \u00d7 90 mm, it sits proud of the bristle line and makes direct contact with the pool surface to generate traction. Without a serviceable ring in place, the brush assembly spins against the shell with significantly reduced grip.<\/p>\n
The ring is mounted at each end of the combined (Wonder Brush) roller, front and rear. As the roller turns, the foam contacts the pool floor and walls, giving the robot enough grip to climb vertical surfaces and navigate steps. When the foam wears flush with \u2014 or below \u2014 the bristle line, the robot loses that contact patch and wall-climbing performance drops noticeably.<\/p>\n
Part 4406010141 is the OEM foam ring for a wide range of Dolphin combined-brush models. Confirmed fitments include the Supreme M3, Supreme M4, Supreme M5, Master M3, Master M5, Vitrium, Ultrakleen, 2X2, 2X2 Pro Gyro, Dynamic Pro X2, Plus, Plus Battery, and Superkleen. Always cross-reference with your robot’s exploded-view diagram before ordering, as brush-roller diameters vary across generations.<\/p>\n
Check the ring’s outer edge relative to the brush bristles: if the foam sits level with or below the bristle tips, it is no longer gripping the pool surface. Rougher finishes \u2014 gunite and exposed aggregate \u2014 accelerate wear and may require seasonal replacement. A robot that used to climb walls reliably but now stalls halfway up, or circles the floor without ascending, is the most common symptom of spent foam rings.<\/p>\n
Remove the combined brush roller from the robot \u2014 on most Supreme M5 units this means releasing the C-clips on the side plates, which requires only a flat-head screwdriver. Slide the worn ring off the roller shaft, push the new ring on until it seats firmly, then refit the roller and clips. The whole job typically takes under ten minutes and no specialist tools.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
