Can I start my Dolphin from anywhere in the pool?
Short answer: Yes, start your Dolphin in the middle for the best coverage, or in a specific area to focus cleaning there.

The answer
What to know.
Yes. For the best cleaning results and coverage, start your Dolphin in the middle of the pool. To focus on a particular area, you can start the robot in that spot instead.
If your model includes Manual Drive in the MyDolphin/MyDolphinPlus app, you can steer your Dolphin toward the area you want cleaned. The robot must be paired via Bluetooth to use this feature. Check your robot's online manual or its product page to confirm whether your model has Manual Drive.
If your Dolphin is missing parts of the pool, replacing its back brush with a Combined Brush or Wonder Brush may be an option. Before changing the brush, chat with Poolbots' pool experts to confirm compatibility with your model.
