3. Operation
3.1 AIPER HydroComm Smart Pool Monitor Operation
- Real-Time Monitoring: The HydroComm continuously measures water parameters. Open the Aiper app to view real-time data.
- 5-in-1 Water Testing: The device measures pH, ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential), EC (Electrical Conductivity), TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), and Temperature.

Figure 3: The HydroComm monitors five key water parameters: pH, ORP, EC, TDS, and Temperature.
- Interpreting Results & Recommendations: The Aiper app provides a comprehensive rating of your pool's condition and offers personalized recommendations to optimize water quality based on the measured parameters.

Figure 4: The Aiper app displays a comprehensive pool rating and treatment recommendations.
- Data Tracking & Analysis: The app stores historical data, allowing you to track trends and analyze your pool's water quality over time.

3.2 AIPER Pilot X1 Handheld Pool Vacuum Operation
- Power On: Press the power button on the handle to turn on the vacuum.
- Dual Depth Cleaning:
- Deep Mode: Suitable for depths greater than 20 inches (50 cm), ideal for spas, above-ground, and in-ground pools, including corners.
- Shallow Mode: Ideal for depths greater than or equal to 0.6 feet (18 cm), perfect for pool steps, lounging areas, and other shallow sections.

Figure 6: The Pilot X1 is capable of cleaning shallow areas such as pool steps and elevated platforms.
- High Efficiency Filtration: The Pilot X1 offers two filter options:
- 360µm Filter: For capturing larger debris such as stones, leaves, and coarse sand.
- 100µm Filter with Sleeve: For picking up finer particles like fine sand, dust, and other small debris.

Figure 7: The Pilot X1 offers two filter options for different debris sizes.
- Cleaning Procedure: Guide the vacuum along the pool surfaces, ensuring the suction head makes full contact to effectively remove debris.
- Power Off: After cleaning, press the power button to turn off the vacuum.
