Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview
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!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A SCUMBALL is a floating oil-absorbing sponge that continuously removes body oils, lotions, and contaminants from hot tub water, preventing scum line formation.
-
Replace SCUMBALLS every 3-4 months under normal use, or sooner if you notice reduced absorption or heavy discoloration.
-
SCUMBALLS prevent new scum formation but won't remove existing buildup. Clean existing scum lines first, then use SCUMBALLS to prevent recurrence.
-
SCUMBALLS and enzymes work differently. SCUMBALLS physically absorb oils, while enzymes break them down chemically. Many users combine both for optimal results.
-
Yes! SCUMBALLS are fully compatible with saltwater systems, chlorine, bromine, and all other sanitizer types.
-
Simply toss them in—they'll float naturally. For best results, place near return jets where water circulation is strongest.
