3. Product Components
The HydroComm monitor consists of the main floating unit and two interchangeable probes:
- Main Unit: Houses the solar panel, battery, control electronics, and communication modules (WiFi/Bluetooth).
- Blue Probe (Probe 01): Measures pH levels, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential), and water temperature.
- Purple Probe (Probe 02): Measures TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), EC (Electrical Conductivity), and water temperature.
This image details the five key water parameters measured by the HydroComm: pH (0-14), ORP (0-1000 mV), EC (0-12000 µS/cm), TDS (0-6000 mg/L), and Temperature (5°C-45°C), emphasizing its comprehensive testing.
4. Setup Guide
4.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, ensure the HydroComm monitor is fully charged. The device is primarily solar-powered for continuous operation in sunlight. For initial charging or during prolonged cloudy periods, use the provided DC charging cable.

4.2 App Installation and Connection
- Download the 'Aiper' app from your smartphone's app store (available on iOS and Android).
- Create an account and register your HydroComm device within the app.
- Turn on the HydroComm monitor by pressing and holding the power button for 2 seconds.
- Follow the in-app instructions to connect the device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz network required).
4.3 Probe Installation
Carefully install the blue and purple probes into their designated slots on the main unit. Ensure they are securely locked into place to maintain a watertight connection. Avoid touching the sensitive probe tips during installation.
4.4 Calibration Process
Calibration is crucial for accurate readings. Perform calibration as instructed by the app, typically using the provided calibration powder and distilled water.
A visual guide showing the four steps for calibrating the HydroComm: preparing the solution, immersing the probe, waiting for calibration, and confirmation of success.
- Pour 250ml of purified drinking water into the prepared cup.
- Add the packet of pH powder and stir until fully dissolved.
- Immerse the probe into the solution and start calibration via the app. Do not shake the solution or remove the probe during the 3-5 minute calibration period.
- Confirm calibration success in the app once complete.
5. Operation Guide

6.2 Probe Storage
When the HydroComm is removed from water for an extended period, ensure the probes remain damp. Use the provided closed probe cap with a moistened sponge inside to prevent the probes from drying out, which can affect their accuracy and lifespan.
6.3 Cleaning
Regularly clean the main unit and probes with a soft cloth to remove any debris or mineral buildup. For probes, follow specific cleaning instructions in the app or detailed manual to avoid damage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AIPER HydroComm Smart Pool Monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Inconsistent Readings: If readings fluctuate significantly or do not align with manual tests, recalibrate the probes as described in Section 4.4. Ensure the probes are clean and properly installed. Environmental factors like direct sunlight or strong water currents can also affect readings.
- Connection Issues (App/Device): Verify that your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Ensure the device is within range of your Wi-Fi router or smartphone for Bluetooth connection. Restart both the HydroComm and your app. If issues persist, try re-pairing the device in the app's settings.
- Probe Accuracy Concerns: If calibration does not resolve accuracy issues, the probes may be at the end of their lifespan and require replacement. Ensure the probes have been stored correctly (kept damp) when not in use.
- Battery Not Holding Charge: Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to sufficient sunlight. If using DC charging, verify the cable and power adapter are functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
