Deposits can collect around that boundary. Surface skimming instead collects material floating on the water, so the two functions address different locations.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>Aiper Product Context<\/h2><p>The Scuba S1 Pro documentation describes horizontal waterline cleaning. Check the selected model and mode: floor cleaning, wall climbing and waterline cleaning are distinct capabilities.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>Common Misunderstanding<\/h2><p>A wall-climbing cleaner does not necessarily travel sideways along the waterline or clean a specified distance above it. Those behaviors require model-specific support.<\/p><\/section>   <section><h2>Related terms<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/cleaning-modes\/\">Cleaning Modes<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/pool-skimmer\/\">Pool Skimmer<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/robotic-pool-cleaner\/\">Robotic Pool Cleaner<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/wall-climbing\/\">Wall Climbing<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/water-circulation\/\">Water Circulation<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>   <section><h2>Learn more<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"guide\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/suction-pool-cleaner-vs-robotic\/\">Robotic, Suction, and Pressure Pool Cleaners: How Each Category Actually Works<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"guide\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/troubleshooting\/v3-not-docking-waterline\/\">Scuba V3 Not Docking at Waterline After Cleaning<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>  <\/div>\r\n  <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"DefinedTerm\",\"name\":\"Waterline Cleaning\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"description\":\"Waterline cleaning is the removal of buildup from the pool wall at or near the water surface.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/waterline-cleaning\\\/\",\"inDefinedTermSet\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/#terms\"}<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":13585,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"aiper_reading_time":1,"aiper_last_reviewed":"","aiper_reviewer":0,"aiper_related_ids":[],"aiper_layout":"tool","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14095","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":14095,"de":14115,"fr":14135,"es":14155},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14095"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14175,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14095\/revisions\/14175"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
