Scumballs in yer hot tub?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Has anyone tried the product “Scumballs” for the hot tub?
Are they worth it? Is there a generic equivalent?
Thanks

I think it’s worked pretty well.
And I like the tactile sensation.
And it’s kinda fun to say “Please pass the scumball.” :slight_smile:

What’s a scumball?

I thought this thread was about strangers sneaking into your hot tub. :slight_smile:

I thought that this was going to be a complaint about hairy guys who wear (only) gold chains and medalions.

I thought from the name it was some kind of tub-cleaning product.

C’mon, Andy, us tubbers wanna know: what is this wonderful stuff?

Here’s the lowdown on those Scumballs. “Scumballs are made of a unique patented material that can absorb up to 32 times their weight in oil !
Scumballs are constantly at work in your hot tub to remove any oils that accumulate on the surface of the water.”

And for the brave, here’s a big, close-up picture of a pair of balls.

I have a Scumball in my hot tub right now! (No, not me.)

Cool product. I thought that the scumballs in question were an accretion of bacteria, but then I opened the thread.

I’m kinda dissapointed, but also relieved.

We use them and can see a definate difference in color after it has been in the hot tub for a period of time so I assume they’re doing SOMETHING.

Thanks, Cyberhwk, but do you mean a difference in the color of the Scumball or the water?
