New initiative reinforces Aiper's commitment to smarter, more sustainable living by turning everyday backyard care into meaningful global impact
ATLANTA, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of World Environment Day, Aiper, a global leader in cordless robotic pool cleaning and smart yard innovation, today announced a new partnership with charity: water, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing clean and safe drinking water to people around the world. The partnership aims to champion global water sustainability.
Driven by a shared commitment to water conservation, this partnership aligns with Aiper's ESG mission to integrate sustainability into smart yard care. By developing its eco-friendly smart irrigation solutions that reduce water waste at home, Aiper is advancing its commitment to sustainability while supporting global clean water access through charity.
Water connects us all—whether filling an eco-efficient backyard pool or sustaining communities in need. By pioneering water-saving outdoor technologies, Aiper is transforming how homeowners interact with this precious resource. Through this new collaboration with charity: water, Aiper hopes to raise awareness about the global water crisis, encourage more responsible water usage, and support meaningful impact on a broader global scale.
"At Aiper, we believe that reshaping outdoor maintenance through eco-conscious innovation is our leading contribution to a sustainable planet," said Richard, CEO and Founder of Aiper. "Our partnership with charity:water extends this vision globally. By continuing to engineer eco-friendly and water-saving smart irrigation technologies, we are ensuring that our dedication to environmental stewardship is built directly into every backyard we service. "
This partnership directly extends the mission of Aiper's IrriSense 2 Water Saving Initiative—the brand's core platform dedicated to minimizing outdoor water waste. As of May 31 (U.S. Pacific Time), the initiative has engaged 478 participants and helped save a total of 556,806 gallons of water. Through this year-long joint effort, Aiper is financing charity: water's community-led clean water infrastructure. To ensure complete transparency for this ESG milestone, charity: water will deliver a comprehensive impact report tracking the volume of clean water deployed and families supported by the initiative.
"Aiper's dedication to minimizing backyard water waste through its robotic pool cleaners and irrigation technologies sets a powerful benchmark for residential sustainability. Because of the Aiper community, an entire community will have access to clean water." says Ashley Lange from charity: water. "Since 2006, we've been working to help end the global water crisis, and partnerships with brands like Aiper play a key role in helping us move closer to that goal every day."
From robotic pool cleaners like the Scuba V3, which optimizes cleaning efficiency and minimizes chemical reliance, to smart irrigation technologies like the IrriSense 2 for precision lawn watering, Aiper continues to develop solutions that make outdoor care smarter, simpler, and more environmentally conscious.

Aiper Celebrates World Environment Day with New Charity: Water Partnership to Help Expand Access to Clean Water Worldwide
Collaboration will help equip future engineering talent with skills relevant to evolving data center and power infrastructure technologies
SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton, an intelligent power management company, and Singapore Polytechnic (SP) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance technical education in emerging power infrastructure technologies, including 800-volt direct current (800VDC) systems. The collaboration will strengthen industry-aligned skills development for SP staff and students and deepen knowledge exchange between industry and academia.
The MoU was signed at the 800V Direct Current Data Centres Symposium 2026, organized by the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Singapore Polytechnic (SP), and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), which brought together industry stakeholders to explore the next generation of power infrastructure for AI-ready data centers.
The rise of AI and high-performance computing is fundamentally reshaping how data centers are powered. Rack densities that once sat in the single-digit kilowatts have already climbed past 100 kilowatts, with next-generation AI systems projected to approach and exceed a megawatt per rack. At these levels, conventional low-voltage power distribution is reaching its physical limits, prompting the industry to move toward 800VDC that deliver more power with less current, less copper, and fewer conversion losses. Major technology players are already aligning their roadmaps around this shift, and it is creating strong demand for engineers who can design, operate, and maintain the power infrastructure behind the next generation of data centers.
Under the MoU, Eaton and SP will work together on curriculum development, seminars, workshops, and hands-on projects. Eaton will contribute industry expertise and technical knowledge of emerging power systems, and SP will provide the academic environment and resources to bring these into the classroom.
The collaboration will also broaden industry exposure for SP staff and students through industrial attachments, internships, and other jointly agreed activities. By connecting the classroom with real-world industry practice, the partnership aims to build the technical capabilities that the data center and electrical infrastructure sectors increasingly need.
"The power architecture behind AI data centers is being redesigned in real time, and the talent to run it has to be built in parallel. Our partnership with Singapore Polytechnic brings emerging technologies like 800VDC into the classroom early, so the next generation of engineers enters the field ready to build the infrastructure the industry is still defining," said Jimmy Yam, Vice-President and General Manager, Electrical Sector, East Asia, Eaton.
"Our goal is to ensure students graduate with skills that keep pace with industry needs. Working closely with partners like Eaton gives our teaching teams valuable insights of the technologies shaping the field, while helping our students understand how emerging power systems are being applied in data centers and critical infrastructure," said Toh Ser Khoon, Senior Director, Engineering Cluster, Singapore Polytechnic.
By bringing industry expertise and emerging technologies into the academic environment, Eaton and SP are giving students and educators a stronger grounding in the practical skills that the data center and electrical infrastructure sectors demand. The collaboration supports Singapore's efforts to develop future-ready engineering talent to drive the growth of digital infrastructure and electrification technologies.
