Aiper was founded in 2016 in Shenzhen, China, under Shenzhen Aiper Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. The company identified a market gap: robotic pool cleaners were expensive ($800-$1,500+) and often required professional installation of dedicated plumbing lines or booster pumps. Aiper developed a fu...

Troubleshooting Guides (10)

Aiper Scuba Red Light Flashing or Beeping: Error Codes Explained

Device: Aiper Scuba Robotic Pool Cleaner (Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Scuba shows a flashing or solid red LED, beeps continuously, or alternates red and blue around the power button instead of starting a normal cycle. Each pattern maps to a specific fault, from a jammed rotor to a flooded motor to a battery-temperature cutoff, and the fix depends on reading the pattern correctly before assuming the unit is dead.

Aiper App Won't Connect or Pair (Seagull, Scuba & X1)

Device: Aiper Robotic Pool Cleaner (Seagull SE, Seagull Pro, Seagull Plus, Surfer S1, Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Aiper app fails to find the cleaner, hangs on connecting, or drops the pairing partway through, whether you run a Seagull, a Scuba S1, or an X1. Every Aiper cleaner pairs through the same app over Bluetooth first and then hands off to WiFi, so the cause is usually a permissions block on the phone, a cleaner that is not in pairing mode, or interference from the pool equipment nearby.

Aiper Scuba Misses Spots or Won't Clean the Whole Pool

Device: Aiper Scuba Robotic Pool Cleaner (Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Scuba finishes a cycle but leaves whole sections of the floor untouched, skips one end of the pool, or keeps reworking the same lap while ignoring others. On the Scuba and X1 line this is a navigation and coverage problem: the sonar and obstacle sensors that map the pool are easily blinded by scale or film, which steers the robot into walls, into dead-end corners, or back over ground it already cleaned.

Aiper Seagull Battery Not Charging or Short Runtime

Device: Aiper Seagull Robotic Pool Cleaner (Seagull SE, Seagull Pro, Seagull Plus)

The Aiper Seagull cordless robotic pool cleaner will not charge when placed on the charging dock, the LED indicators do not light up during charging, or the battery drains much faster than the expected runtime (90 minutes for SE, 150 minutes for Pro, 180 minutes for Plus). The charging contacts on both the robot and dock can corrode from pool chemical exposure, and the lithium battery degrades if stored improperly over winter.

Aiper Elite Pro Recall: Check If Your GS100 Is Affected and Get a Free Replacement

Device: Aiper Elite Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner (Elite Pro (GS100))

The Aiper Elite Pro cordless robotic pool vacuum, model GS100, was recalled with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for burn and fire hazards after reports of the battery overheating. This walks through how to tell whether your unit is part of the recall, the exact charging mistake that causes the hazard, and how to claim the free replacement.

Aiper Scuba Won't Sink or Floats on the Water Surface

Device: Aiper Scuba Robotic Pool Cleaner (Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Scuba cordless robot bobs on the surface, tips on its side, or descends a few inches and then floats back up instead of sinking to the pool floor. Because the Scuba is a fully submersible robot with no hose or float, the cause is almost always air trapped inside the body or a water-detection contact that has lost a clean reading from scale or sunscreen film.

Aiper Scuba Not Picking Up Debris or Leaving Dirt Behind

Device: Aiper Scuba Robotic Pool Cleaner (Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Scuba drives a full cycle but leaves sand, silt, leaves, or a fine dust layer on the pool floor, or it stirs debris up and spits it back out instead of holding it. Suction loss on these robots is almost always a filter, impeller, or brush problem, and using the wrong filter for the debris type lets fine dirt pass straight through.

Aiper Pool Cleaner Spinning in Circles or Stuck in One Spot (All Models)

Device: Aiper Robotic Pool Cleaner (Seagull SE, Seagull Pro, Seagull Plus, Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Aiper cleaner spins in place, curves to one side on every lap, or parks and grinds in a single spot instead of driving the pool, on the Seagull line as well as the Scuba and X1 robots. This is a drive problem rather than a navigation or coverage problem: one side is doing more work than the other because a track or motor is unbalanced, or the heading sensor has drifted so the robot turns when it means to go straight.

Aiper Scuba Won't Turn On or No Power

Device: Aiper Scuba Robotic Pool Cleaner (Scuba S1, Scuba S1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro, Scuba X1 Pro Max)

The Scuba is completely unresponsive: pressing the power button does nothing, no LED lights up, and it will not start a cycle even though it was working before. This is separate from a charging fault, and the usual causes are a deeply discharged battery that needs a wake-up charge, a missed long-press, or the water-detection logic refusing to start the motors out of water.

Aiper Seagull Not Climbing Walls or Cleaning Waterline

Device: Aiper Seagull Robotic Pool Cleaner (Seagull Pro, Seagull Plus)

The Aiper Seagull Pro or Plus runs on the pool floor but refuses to climb the walls or reach the waterline. The robot approaches the wall, touches it, and reverses back to the floor instead of climbing. Wall climbing depends on adequate suction, clean drive tracks, and the correct cleaning mode selected in the Aiper app. The Seagull SE is a floor-only model and does not climb walls by design.
