Pool ownership should be simple, focused on basking by the water in the warmer months. But in reality, it involves a lot of hands-on scrubbing, skimming, and cleaning. Consumer tech’s next big step is to make pool ownership completely automated and stress-free. That’s the goal for Aiper, a tech brand that’s building the next generation of pool cleaning robots. The latest in this evolution is the company’s Scuba X1 Pro Max, a robot that takes hands-free to the next level with fully automated pool cleaning.
What makes the Scuba X1 Pro Max stand out is its ability to run without any user input needed. To accomplish this, the bot starts by using its suite of 40 sensors to completely map any pool, guaranteeing full coverage, regardless of shape or size. Then, it automatically scours the pool for an all-in-one cleaning, including the floors, water line, and walls, while also filtering and skimming water at the surface. Dual-jet suction and nine motors provide extra-strong vacuum power, and a stabilized horizontal brush ensures a comprehensive cleaning along the edges of the pool. Perhaps the most important feature is the extra-large battery, which provides cordless power for up to five hours while cleaning the pool floors, and up to 12 hours of surface skimming.
Aiper also offers the HydroComm series of smart water monitors, which can pair with the Scuba X1 Pro Max to provide you live updates on water quality. The HydroComm monitors key quality stats like pH and total dissolved solids, and feeds that data directly into the Aiper app for continuous tracking. Perhaps best of all, the HydroComm is solar-powered for continuous testing, with a battery backup for cloudy days.
Aiper is teasing a big Amazon Prime Day deal later this summer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a discount on the new Scuba X1 Pro Max already, thanks to what the brand is calling “Aiper Day.” More than just one day, the promotion runs from June 10th till the end of the month as a celebration of the company’s customer base. Customers can save up to $1,000 on Aiper’s pool cleaning bots, among other products, picking up a Scuba X1 Pro Max for just $1,999. Don’t be afraid to scoop one up and simplify your maintenance, just in time for pool season proper.
