Kick Off Spring and Dive Into Clean: Prep Your Pool and Lawn Now for a Stress-Free Season with Aiper

From pool opening to smarter lawn care, Aiper helps homeowners refresh their entire backyard ecosystem this spring

Celebrate the season with special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and IrriSense 2 at Aiper.com and during the Amazon Big Spring Sale Event

ATLANTA, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring has arrived, making it time to refresh more than just closets and garages. For homeowners, spring is the ideal time to prepare pools and lawns before summer heat and weekend pool parties begin. Opening a pool properly takes more than removing the cover and adding chlorine, and reviving your lawn requires more than turning on last year's sprinkler timer. A thoughtful spring reset now can prevent weeks of cloudy water, equipment damage, overwatering, and wasted time later. To celebrate spring, Aiper is announcing special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and award-winning IrriSense 2, along with up to 25% off other Aiper robotic pool cleaners, from March 25 through April 10 on Aiper.com.

To help homeowners start the season strong - Aiper, the world's No. 1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand^[1] and leader in smart yard innovation - is sharing expert-backed pool-opening tips alongside smart technology solutions that simplify both pool and lawn care.

Because summer-ready backyards begin in spring. And that starts with opening your pool the right way. Here's a simple, step-by-step approach to get your pool swim-ready:

• Wake Up Your Equipment First. Remove standing water, clear large debris, inspect hoses and O-rings, and prime the pump before turning it on. Record your clean filter pressure, typically 10–15 psi, as your season baseline.

• Handle Cloudy or Green Water Properly. Let flocculant settle overnight and vacuum sludge to Waste. Do not use a robotic cleaner until heavy algae is removed.

• Balance in the Correct Chemical Order. Adjust total alkalinity first, then pH. Aim for 80–120 ppm alkalinity and 7.2–7.4 pH. Check Cyanuric Acid (CYA) levels, shock at dusk, and circulate for 24 hours.

• Bring in Automation After Chemistry Stabilizes. Once water is balanced and debris cleared, for the first use, remove the MicroMesh™ Filter from the Scuba V3 and start cleaning with the fine filter box. After that, use the Aiper Experts Duo – Scuba V3 and EcoSurfer S2 – to remove remaining particles and polish the pool.

Once your pool is properly opened and balanced, maintenance should be effortless. The Aiper Experts Duo delivers hands-free, 360° coverage cleaning by pairing the cognitive AI powered Scuba V3 with the solar-driven EcoSurfer S2. The Scuba V3 strategically plans how to clean your pool using Cognitive AI Navium™ Mode, creating weekly cleaning plans based on pool size, cleaning history, and weather to efficiently clean floors, walls, and waterlines. Meanwhile, the EcoSurfer S2 continuously removes surface debris before it sinks and recharges using SolarSeeker™ technology. Together, they create a seamless 24/7 cleaning system that minimizes upkeep and maximizes swim time.

Spring prep does not stop at the pool. As lawns emerge from the winter cold, smart irrigation becomes essential. The IrriSense 2 is the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system that replaces a sprinkler, electrical valve, controller, and nutrient feeder in one easy-to-install unit, ready in about 15 minutes with no trenching or wiring. Powered by Weather-Sense Response technology, it automatically adjusts watering based on real-time conditions, pauses for rain, and adapts during heat waves. With support for up to ten customizable zones and a TÜV certification for reliable water pressure stability, IrriSense 2 can reduce water use by up to 40%, all managed through the Aiper app. To make watering mimic rainfall, Aiper has integrated EvenRain™ technology that gently sprays the watering zones for a more even and efficient irrigation process.

Spring is about fresh starts, including your backyard. By combining the right opening strategy with intelligent automation for pool and lawn care, homeowners can reduce guesswork and step into summer fully prepared. From March 25 – April 10, shoppers can find exclusive savings on the Aiper Experts Duo and IrriSense 2 at Aiper.com and during the Amazon Big Spring Sale on Amazon.com. Because the best summer memories begin with preparation.

Kick Off Spring and Dive Into Clean: Prep Your Pool and Lawn Now for a Stress-Free Season with Aiper

Across three sessions in Dubai this spring, the conversations moved from how AI agents are built and reshaping business operations to whether the market's pricing of the build-out can hold.

DUBAI, UAE, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Peter Karsten, CEO of STARTRADER, joined the University of Europe for Applied Sciences in One Central, Dubai, for three separate sessions this spring; two with MBA Operations students led by Prof. Dr. Katariina Juusola, and a third hosted by Prof. Dr. Eman AbuKhousa;each drawing students, faculty members, and finance professionals into extended conversations that ran past their scheduled close.

MBA Operations: 25 April and 9 May

The first MBA session, on 25 April, introduced students to the rapidly evolving world of AI, autonomous systems, and the future of business operations. Drawing from extensive international industry experience, Karsten covered autonomous AI agents and multi-agent systems, AI-driven decision-making, distributed computing infrastructure, human–AI collaboration, and the cybersecurity and governance risks that come with the shift.

One of the most memorable moments came through what Karsten called the "chainsaw metaphor"; comparing traditional business tools and workflows to a manual saw, with AI as the chainsaw: dramatically more powerful and faster, but requiring entirely new ways of working, thinking, and managing risk.

The second MBA session, on 9 May, went deeper into AI agents, distributed systems, and the transformative impact these technologies are expected to have on organisations and society. A recurring theme across both sessions was the idea that the world has already changed — organisations are now racing to adapt to a new operational reality shaped by AI, not preparing for one that might arrive.

Market Risk and Valuation: 15 May

The third session shifted to the market implications. Titled "AI Investment, Productivity Lag & Valuation Risk," it tackled one of the debates that has been splitting opinion across markets for months. Trillions in AI-related capital expenditure, yet the productivity gains haven't shown up clearly in the macro data. At the same time, valuations on a handful of AI-exposed names sit at levels that have strategists watching closely for parallels to past cycles.

Karsten pushed back on both ends. The capex is real, he argued, and dismissing it as a bubble underestimates how foundational this infrastructure build-out is. But he was just as direct on the risk side: when valuation gaps correct, they tend to do so faster than retail investors expect.

"The productivity gains are coming. The question is whether they arrive before the market loses patience," he said during the Q&A. "That gap, between what's being spent and what's showing up in the numbers, is where the real risk sits right now."

"Sessions like this give our students direct exposure to how industry leaders are thinking about the risks and opportunities in AI right now," said Prof. Dr. Eman AbuKhousa, Professor of AI & Data Science, who teaches in the university's Software Engineering programme. "That kind of real-world perspective is difficult to replicate in a classroom, and it's exactly the sort of dialogue we want more of."

 

A Broader Commitment

STARTRADER's involvement reflects its broader commitment to financial education, particularly where emerging technologies are reshaping how markets operate.

Both STARTRADER and the University of Europe for Applied Sciences share a belief that sound decision-making depends on understanding the mechanics behind the narrative. The university prepares students across its Business, Data Science, and Software Engineering programmes to enter a technology-driven landscape; STARTRADER operates within it daily, making the exchange a natural one.

The partnership with the University of Europe marks STARTRADER's second public university engagement of the year, following an online keynote at the University of Adelaide in January. The company plans to continue joining academic and industry-led discussions through the rest of 2026, with AI adoption, valuation pressure, and macroeconomic uncertainty expected to remain front and centre across global markets.

Beyond the broader market conversation, these engagements serve a direct purpose for STARTRADER: building meaningful connections with the next generation of finance and trading professionals at the moment they are forming their view of the industry.

About STARTRADER

STARTRADER is a global multi-asset broker empowering retail and institutional partners to access global markets through a range of platforms, including MetaTrader, STAR-APP, and STAR-COPY.

Regulated across five jurisdictions (CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA, and FSC), STARTRADER combines strong governance with a client-first approach, serving both retail clients and partners with a commitment to transparency, reliability, and long-term growth.
