Aiper Seagull Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner Review

 

The Aiper Seagull Pro is a cordless robotic pool cleaner and they have improved it over the last generation that I tested. It still has a few quirks like getting stuck on raised flat main drains and a rather different pre-programmed cleaning pattern.




Aiper claims it is designed to clean a pool up to 3,200 sq ft but that doesn’t make sense when you are trying to figure out if it is right for your pool size. A 3,200 sq ft pool is an Olympic-sized pool (40’x80’) which to me is very bold. I would say it will excel at a standard 15’x30 ft medium to a small backyard pool. 15,000 gallons or less and nothing larger because of the unique cleaning pattern. 

More on the cleaning pattern. If you set it for floors and walls it will spend time on the pool floor going in a back-and-forth pattern and then pivot to move across the entire pool floor until it reaches a wall or sloping area. Then it will switch to cleaning the walls. With a run time of about 3 hours, this pattern is better suited for a small to medium pool. A lot of the negative reviews speak about it not cleaning the entire pool. I suspect those are larger 20,000-gallon plus pools. 

I must say the mode dial on top is a nice touch. You can set it to clean the floors only, the floors and walls and the walls only. 

The build quality is excellent. This has the true feel of a production cleaner. It’s a bit heavy at 20 lbs but that is due to the large lithium-ion battery. Which charges very fast within 90 minutes. The charging port could be a fail point so always make sure the runner plug is firmly in place and the charging port is closed. 

The only downside I see is that the filter canister only filters dirt down to 180 microns. This means that the finer dirt will not be picked up by the cleaner. A fine-filter canister would be nice maybe down to 60 microns 

I would say for the price it is a solid robotic pool cleaner and suitable for many pools but not all of them. It will leave your medium to small pool pretty spotless after cleaning.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
