Less than a year after its debut on the Italian market, with the Seagull Series wireless pool robots, Aiper consolidates its presence in the sector with the new Scuba range. A further step forward, which leads the company based in Atlanta (Georgia, US) to redefine the concept of pool robots, focusing on the total absence of cables – therefore on rechargeable batteries (also via optional solar panels) – and on increasingly advanced movement, suction, cleaning and remote control technologies.
This is to allow owners and managers of swimming pools – from small above-ground models to larger recreational and sports pools – to free themselves from the annoying task of cleaning the bottom, walls and floating surface from hair, leaves and insects, whatever the shape, type and size to be treated.
The new series of Scuba robots, proposed by Aiper and previewed at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, the largest consumer electronics fair in the world, hits the target with five models that meet different cleaning needs and complexities. Models that join the existing ones and make the Aiper collection the largest and most varied in the sector.
Aiper Scuba Series: Five Models for Every Need
The new Scuba series includes models for all needs and budgets, characterized by solid construction and ease of use. In fact, just press a button to activate them before immersing them in the pool to be cleaned.
From the Scuba SE , the perfect entry-level for above-ground pools of up to 80 square meters (90 minutes of autonomy), to the Scuba N1, the non plus ultra for those who aspire to a product that cleans pools of up to a maximum of 200 square meters (180 minutes of autonomy), even in the most difficult spots, including walls. This is thanks to industrial-level solidity, the ability to move intelligently with infrared sensors, the possibility of communicating with an optional external unit connected to the smartphone via the Aiper app (the Aiper HydroComm ) and the dirt container that reaches the impressive capacity of 7.5 liters.
Between the entry-level and the top of the range, the other models in the collection are positioned. In more detail, the Aiper Scuba E1 has a triple motor, a rotating roller that thoroughly cleans the bottom with which it is constantly in contact, a double filtration system, 100 minutes of autonomy (three hours are enough to recharge it) and an ultra-fine secondary filter capable of capturing solid particles of just 3 µm (1 µm is equal to a thousandth of a millimetre).
The Aiper Scuba S1 is designed to clean not only the bottom, but also the walls of any pool. There are three cleaning modes – floor, wall, floor + wall – combined with the new ECO mode with which the robot performs periodic cleaning every 48 hours. The Scuba S1 is such an innovative robot that it received the Innovation Award Honoree recognition at CES 2024. It cleans in-ground pools of 150 square meters in just two and a half hours. Instead of wheels, it is equipped with tracks for better traction and precision in its movements. The paths, never random, are entrusted to WavePath technology. In the Pro version , the S1 reaches up to 200 square meters of cleaning, uses sensors to avoid obstacles and offers five cleaning modes, including – an absolute innovation – horizontal cleaning of the waterline. It can work in smart mode if combined with the Aiper HydroComm buoy to be purchased separately.
The top of the range Seagull and the Surfer S1 for the floating surface
Always present is the Seagull Pro model from the Seagull Series, the one with which Aiper made itself known to the general public. With a four-motor traction system (an absolute novelty for a cordless pool robot), it can work tirelessly for 150 minutes. It uses the same WavePath navigation technology as the Scuba S1, which ensures complete coverage of the submerged surface (up to 300 square meters) in the shortest possible time. And like the Scuba S1 and Scuba S1 Ultra models, the Seagull Pro also climbs along the walls of the pool to clean them, following optimized paths in this case too.
Aiper has finally thought about the floating surface, with the Aiper Surfer S1 . It works as a battery-powered robot skimmer, so it filters the surface of the water, point by point, freeing it from hair, dust, leaves and insects.
It is moved by solar energy for a maximum water cleaning time of 10 hours, sufficient for small and large pools, such as those installed in tourist and sports facilities (hotels, farms, villages and resorts).
