# How long can I leave my Dolphin robot pool cleaner in the pool?

We recommend taking your Dolphin out after each use to empty and clean the filter(s).

Then store it in a dry place in a shady area out of the weather.

We also recommend rinsing your Dolphin robotic pool cleaner with **clear water** regularly to remove any excess of residual pool water that may contain chemicals.

For Dolphin’s with a weekly timer, the robot can stay in the pool for a week, you will still need to clean the filter(s) at the end of the weekly cycle.
