4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Water Quality Monitoring

The HydroComm Pro continuously monitors five key water parameters:

• pH: Measures acidity or alkalinity (Range: 6.5-8.5 recommended, device range 0-14).
• ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential): Indicates sanitizer effectiveness (Range: 0-1000 mV).
• EC (Electrical Conductivity): Measures dissolved solids (Range: 0-12000 µS/cm).
• TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Measures total concentration of dissolved substances (Range: 0-6000 mg/L).
• Temperature: Water temperature (Range: 5°C-45°C).

All readings are displayed in real-time within the AIPER app. The app also provides personalized tips and recommendations based on the measured parameters to help maintain optimal water conditions.

4.2 Underwater Communication with AIPER Pool Cleaners

The HydroComm Pro enables real-time communication with compatible AIPER pool cleaners, such as the Scuba X Series. This feature allows you to:

• Switch Cleaning Modes: Change cleaning modes (e.g., waterline, floor) directly from the AIPER app while the cleaner is underwater.
• One-tap Retrieval: Command your pool cleaner to return to the pool's surface with a single tap in the app.
