Scum Balls | Floating Oil & Scum Absorbers for Swim Spas & Hot Tubs

Scum Balls are reusable, floating oil‑absorbing balls designed to remove body oils, lotions, cosmetics, and other contaminants from the water surface of pools, spas, and hot tubs. As they float freely, the balls attract and absorb greasy residues before they can form unsightly waterlines, foam, or buildup on surfaces.

Made from a specially engineered absorbent foam material, Scum Balls trap oils that would otherwise clog filters or require frequent chemical adjustments. Regular use helps extend filter life, reduce surface scum, and keep water looking cleaner between maintenance cycles. Once saturated, Scum Balls can be rinsed, cleaned, and reused, making them an economical and environmentally friendly solution for routine water care.
