$500 off summer essential that saves you more than 100 hours a year
Anyone who has ever spent hours cleaning a pool will want to take note of this.
The thrill of being able to walk into your backyard and jump into your very own pool used to be a luxury few could afford - at least when I was growing up. As someone who never lived in a home with a pool, it felt like something reserved for the privileged.
Flash forward to 2024 and more than 3.1 million Aussies, including myself, now live in a home with a pool - which equates to about one out of seven people. This also equates to many, many hours of pool cleaning (about 3.22 million to be exact when you consider you should do it every week, and it typically takes around two hours each time).
It's no wonder people are searching for ways to take some time back, so they can enjoy hanging out in their pools, rather than painstakingly cleaning them.
While robot vacuum cleaners for your house have been all the rage for a while now, robot pool cleaners are the latest must-have accessory on everyone's lips - and for good reason.

Not only do these handy gadgets save you 100 hours or more of cleaning each year, but they are more energy efficient, too using less electricity than traditional pool cleaning methods. This can result in lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact - a win-win!
To help pool owners get into the summer spirit, Aiper is knocking off up to $500 off their range of robot pool cleaners, and with some of their models being award winners, it's a deal you'll want to... lap up. (See what I did there?)
Which robot pool cleaner should I buy?
Aiper has a few options to choose from to suit a variety of pool sizes and different user needs.
The Scuba S1 Pro
With more than a hundred glowing reviews on the official Aiper website, the Scuba S1 Pro has been hailed by some happy customers as "an impressive machine" and a "game changer."
The Scuba S1 Pro uses 4 infrared sensors to manoeuvre around obstacles and has five cleaning modes - floor, wall, wall+floor, waterline including the world’s first horizontal waterline cleaning mode called WaveLine™ Technology, and the new eco mode for periodic cleaning every 48hours, ensuring the pool is always swim-ready.
The Scuba S1 Pro is so impressive that after popular content creator @thep00lguy shared a video of it in action, people without pools said they wanted one!
"I want a Scuba S1 Pro and I don't even have a pool," one person laughed.
"Do I have a pool? No. Am I heavily considering buying this product? Yes," another wrote.
"Not going to lie, that is one of the coolest tools I've seen," someone else raved.
The Scuba S1
Aiper’s flagship product and a CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree, the Scuba S1 is perfect for in-ground pools up to 1600 sq. ft. Touted by one owner as the "best in-ground pool vacuum ever," the Scuba S1 can clean in 2.5 hours and is customisable so you can choose between four cleaning modes: floor, wall, and wall + floor as well as eco mode.

The Surfer S1
The Aiper Surfer S1 utilises a brushless motor and paddle-wheel design so your skimmer efficiently cleans more of your pool in less time - all you have to do is pop the device into your pool and then let it do its thing.
The ultrasonic detectors recognise and avoid your pool walls, while app support monitors the battery and performance of the device, and offers two cleaning modes, solar charging and 12 hours of battery life.
The discounts on Aiper products are available online at au.aiper.com or via Amazon.
