# Will my Dolphin robotic pool cleaner clean the stairs?

Our Dolphin robots are not programmed to clean steps, benches, and tanning ledges.


Our robots need a minimum depth of 31-41 inches to function properly, if the water level covering the robot is less than this, the Dolphin will shut down as a failsafe.


The Dolphin will only be able to clean the stairs if it has room to stand on them entirely and if the water level is deep enough.


We recommend brushing dirt on the stairs onto the bottom of the pool, for the robot to be able to clean the debris.
