ScumBug Oil-Absorbing Sponge – Professional Grade Pool & Spa Waterline Cleaner
Keep your pool or hot tub water crystal clear and your tiles grime-free with the ScumBug Oil-Absorbing Sponge. This clever, bug-shaped sponge is engineered from a specialized molecular foam that is "oleophilic" - meaning it literally hungers for oils. It floats effortlessly in your skimmer or directly on the water's surface, attracting and absorbing up to 40 times its weight in body oils, suntan lotions, and cosmetics before they can form a stubborn "scum line" around your pool's perimeter.
By capturing these organic contaminants early, the ScumBug also helps improve your filtration efficiency and reduces the amount of chemical sanitizer needed to keep the water safe. It is an essential, low-maintenance tool for any high-traffic pool or spa, especially during the busy opening season when bather load increases.
- Massive Absorption Power: Absorbs 40 times its weight in oils and lotions without absorbing a single drop of water.
- Prevents Scum Lines: Drastically reduces the formation of the dark, greasy ring that accumulates at the waterline and in the skimmer.
- Prolongs Filter Life: By removing oils from the water, it prevents filter cartridges and sand from becoming "gummed up," extending the time between cleanings.
- Reusable & Durable: When the ScumBug becomes saturated, simply squeeze it out, clean it with a mild detergent, and place it back in the water.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for all types of pools, hot tubs, and jetted spas; safe for all liner and tile surfaces.
At Splash Pool & Spa, we consider the ScumBug a "silent hero" of pool maintenance. It’s a small investment that saves hours of scrubbing and keeps your backyard oasis looking and feeling professional.
