Get Expert HelpWhat the Aiper EcoSurfer S2 does well
24/7 Performance: With sufficient sunlight, the Aiper EcoSurfer S2 Robotic Solar Pool Skimmer's solar charging ensures 24/7 cleaning. On cloudy days, a single charge via the DC adapter can keep your skimmer running for up to 35 hours
Efficient Clean with Adjustable Chlorine Dispenser: Aiper EcoSurfer S2's industry-leading 150-micron filtration and DebrisGuard anti-leak design effectively capture all kinds of debris. It holds 3-inch diameter, 1-inch thickness chlorine tablets for consistently sparkling water
The App Support: You can start or stop your device, set custom cleaning schedules, steer remotely, track progress, view history, and get instant blocking alerts!
Obstacle Avoidance & Edge Cleaning: Dual sensors and Aiper's Smart Algorithms enable effective obstacle avoidance and precise cleaning. Its unique edge and corner cleaning mode improves coverage by 5% and enhances cleaning efficiency by 15%
Anti-Stuck Design: Equipped with four retractable anti-stranding columns, the EcoSurfer S2 avoids getting stuck on pool steps, paired with the obstruction alert through the app, ensuring uninterrupted operation and continuous cleaning
Durable: With twin Salt Chlorine Tolerant motors and a UV-resistant housing, the EcoSurfer S2 delivers reliable, energy-efficient performance in any pool, built to endure harsh weather and backed by 24-month product care for lasting durability
The EcoSurfer S2 solves a different problem than the rest of this list. Leaves that reach the floor have already started staining and consuming chlorine; catching them while they float is both easier and better for the water. It runs on solar, so it does that continuously without adding to your power bill.
Why a skimmer alongside a vacuum
A pool vacuum runs for a few hours and stops. A solar skimmer works whenever the sun is up. Under trees, that difference decides whether your vacuum spends its cycle on settled organic debris or on genuinely fine dirt. It's the most effective pairing in pool automation and the reason so many owners end up buying both.
Chlorine dispenser
The adjustable dispenser distributes sanitiser as the unit moves, rather than concentrating it at a floating dispenser parked in one corner. More even distribution means fewer localised hot spots.
Not getting stuck
Stranding on steps and ledges is the classic surface-skimmer failure. Four retractable anti-stranding columns push it back off, and it raises an obstruction alert in the app if it can't recover on its own.
Built for pool chemistry
Twin salt-chlorine-tolerant motors and a UV-resistant housing. A device that lives on the water surface all summer gets the worst of both UV and chemistry, so this is the right specification rather than a marketing line.

Aiper EcoSurfer S2 FAQ
Does the EcoSurfer S2 need charging?
In sufficient sunlight it charges itself and runs continuously. On cloudy days a single charge via the DC port keeps it going.
Does it work with saltwater pools?
Yes — it uses salt-chlorine-tolerant motors and a UV-resistant housing.
Can it replace a pool vacuum?
No. It cleans the water surface only. Pair it with a vacuum for floors, walls and the waterline.
