Scum Bug Oil Absorbing Sponge (SCUMBUG1)
The Rola-Chem Scum Bug devours scum, slime, and grime from pools and spas. With 300% more surface area than competing products and the ability to absorb 40 times its weight in oils, it keeps your water clean and your scum line at bay all season.
Devour Scum, Slime, and Grime
The Rola-Chem Scum Bug is a purpose-built oil-absorbing sponge designed to keep your pool and spa water free from body oils, suntan lotions, pollen, and other organic contaminants that cause unsightly scum lines. Shaped for maximum surface area — 300% more than ball-shaped alternatives — the Scum Bug absorbs 40 times its weight in oils and fits neatly into any standard pool skimmer basket. When one side is saturated, simply flip it over. When fully loaded, squeeze it out, rinse, and put it right back to work.
Key Features
- Absorbs 40 times its weight in body oils, suntan lotions, and pollen
- 300% more surface area than ball-shaped scum absorbers
- Cannot get clogged in water lines thanks to its flat sponge design
- Fits all standard pool skimmer baskets or floats freely in spas
- Reusable: squeeze out, clean, and redeploy throughout the season
- Lasts 4 to 6 months under normal swimming conditions
- Improves filtration and prevents scum line formation when used in clean water
Easy Maintenance
Place the Scum Bug in your pool skimmer and let your circulation system do the rest. As water flows through the skimmer, the Scum Bug intercepts oils and contaminants before they reach your filter, extending filter life and improving overall water quality. For spas and hot tubs, let the Scum Bug float on the surface where it will continuously absorb oils between soaks. One Scum Bug lasts an average swimming season under normal use.
