At the show, attendees explored the company's latest innovations designed for a reliable and carefree smart yard ecosystem, including — according to Aiper — the world's first cognitive AI-powered robotic pool cleaner series, Scuba V3/N3 and Scuba V3 Ultra/N3 Ultra; EcoSurfer Senti, the world's first AI-powered skimmer with water quality management; and IrriSense 2/N2, the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system. These products, debuted at CES 2026, reflect Aiper's ongoing investment in intelligent solutions for the pool and smart yard solutions industry.
Founded over half a century ago, the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) is the world's oldest and largest association representing professionals across the pool, spa and hot tub industry.
