Other Cleaners We’d Consider
Three strong surface skimmers you can order from us today.
Why the Aiper EcoSurfer S2 Stands Out
Solar + Reserve Battery
Charges continuously under sunlight while banking power to keep skimming overnight.
DebrisGuard™ Anti-Spill Gate
One-way intake baffle stops floating leaves from drifting back out when the skimmer pauses.
150μm Fine Slide-Out Drawer
Captures tiny gnats, pollen, pine needles, and big leaves in one fine-mesh drawer.
Optical Edge & Corner Sensors
Detects walls and steps smoothly with anti-beaching underside posts.
Aiper App Remote Dock
Steer the skimmer to your hand or check battery percentage from your phone.
Light 12.6-Lb Hull
Easy one-hand lift from the pool deck.
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.
Surfer S2 vs. Surfer S1—what improved?
The Surfer S2 is nearly 12 lbs lighter (12.6 lbs vs. 24.5 lbs), adds the DebrisGuard™ anti-spill baffle, and upgrades runtime efficiency over the Surfer S1.
