SCUMBALLS® Oil Absorbing Sponge (2 Pack) – Floating Scum Eliminator for Hot Tubs & Spas
SCUMBALLS® Oil Absorbing Sponge (2 Pack) – Floating Scum Eliminator for Hot Tubs & Spas
SCUMBALLS are specially designed floating sponges made from a unique oil-absorbing material that attracts and traps oils, lotions, and organic contaminants before they can form scum lines on your spa shell.
Simply toss one or two SCUMBALLS into your hot tub, and they'll float on the surface, working continuously to absorb:
- Body oils and perspiration
- Sunscreen and tanning lotions
- Cosmetics and hair products
- Deodorants and perfumes
- Soap residue and detergents
Each 2-pack provides months of protection, and when they become saturated, simply squeeze them out or replace them—it's that easy!
Continuous 24/7 Scum Prevention
SCUMBALLS work around the clock, absorbing oils and contaminants before they create scum lines. No more scrubbing your spa shell every week!
Chemical-Free Water Clarification
Unlike clarifiers and enzymes, SCUMBALLS use no chemicals. They're a natural, eco-friendly way to maintain cleaner, clearer water.
Extends Filter Life
By capturing oils before they reach your filter, SCUMBALLS reduce filter clogging and extend the life of your spa filter cartridges—saving you money on replacements.
Reduces Chemical Usage
Cleaner water means your sanitizers work more efficiently. You'll use fewer chemicals and enjoy better water balance with less effort.
Works in All Hot Tubs & Spas
Compatible with all sanitizer systems including chlorine, bromine, salt water, and mineral systems. Perfect for hot tubs, swim spas, and even pools.
Long-Lasting & Reusable
Each SCUMBALL lasts 3-4 months with normal use. When saturated, simply squeeze out the absorbed oils in hot water, or replace with a fresh one.
Convenient 2-Pack
Two sponges provide optimal coverage for most residential hot tubs. Use one for smaller spas or both for larger tubs and swim spas.
