The Swimables Scum Turtle Floating Oil Absorber (SW-10-300) is a simple water care accessory designed to absorb body oils, lotions, cosmetics, pollen, and other surface contaminants from pools and spas. Made from high-density absorbent foam, each Scum Turtle floats on the water’s surface where oily residue naturally collects, helping reduce visible scum lines and improve overall water appearance.
Oils and surface contaminants can build up from swimmers, sunscreen, hair products, and environmental debris. Over time, these residues may create waterline buildup, cloudy surface film, and added strain on the filtration system. By passively absorbing these contaminants, the Scum Turtle helps keep pool and spa water cleaner between regular maintenance intervals.
This 2-pack offers a convenient way to keep one absorber in use while rotating or replacing the other as needed.
Why Floating Oil Absorbers Matter
Pool and spa water often collects oils and residue that standard circulation and filtration may not fully remove right away. These contaminants tend to float at the surface and cling to the waterline, where they can create visible buildup and affect water clarity.
Common issues caused by surface oils and residue include:
• Scum lines forming at the tile or spa shell
• Oily film on the water surface
• Increased filter loading from cosmetic and body oils
• Poorer overall water appearance
Using a floating oil absorber helps remove these contaminants early, reducing buildup and supporting cleaner-looking water.
Designed for Pools and Spas
The Swimables Scum Turtle is designed for use in both pools and spas. It floats freely on the surface, where it continuously absorbs oils and residue during normal circulation and everyday use.
Its compact floating design makes it a practical choice for residential pools, hot tubs, and spas where body oils and lotions tend to accumulate quickly.
Passive Water Care with No Installation Required
The Scum Turtle works without plumbing changes, equipment modifications, or complicated setup. Simply place it in the water and allow it to float at the surface where contaminants naturally gather.
This makes it an easy addition to routine pool and spa maintenance, especially during periods of heavy use.
Convenient 2-Pack Design
This package includes two floating oil absorbers, giving you added convenience for replacement rotation or use across multiple bodies of water. One can be kept in service while the other is cleaned, dried, or stored as backup.
The absorbent foam construction is designed to help collect oily residue while remaining easy to use as part of regular water care.
