Overview
The Scuba S series is Aiper's lower-cost cordless range for in-ground pools. The S1 arrived in 2024 and was refreshed with longer battery life and app support, while the 2026 S3 adds stronger suction, a 240-minute Eco mode and waterline parking. The S1 was also the free replacement Aiper offered in its 2025 recall of the Seagull Pro. Both clean floor, walls and waterline but lack the wireless dock of the Scuba X1 and the camera of the Scuba V3.
