Highly effective floating absorber that captures oils, scum, and debris from spa/pool surfaces. Customers said it "works great" and keeps water "crystal clear." Most praise its simplicity and longevity. However, some reported durability issues: clips breaking, material disintegrating, and getting stuck in filters, potentially causing pump problems.

Works great at catching/preventing scum buildup, but I notice ZorbO can get stuck in the filter inlet (Jacuzzi J-245) and slow the flow of water. I wish it was a bit bigger so I can safely leave this in my hot tub unattended.
Cuts down the amount of cleaning to almost zero!
The little sucker works really goodI’m
Wow these are the best I love them
I am astonished at how well this thing clears my water but was dismayed to find it stuck in my filter basket within a week of buying it, which confused my tub enough that it shut itself down. In future I will remove it every night after using the tub, only allowing it to circulate while I am in the tub, about an hour nightly. Hopefully that will still provide most of the benefit.
Thanks for taking time to share your experience. The loop on Zorbo is actually designed to provide a spot to tether Zorbo to the tub. Grab a piece of string or paracord and tie it to a control valve or even sandwich the cord between the cover and the tub (when cover is closed) to keep Zorbo in place.
Have not used yet
Where have you been hiding this? Amazing!
Awesome product
Cuts down alot of junk,,, I use a considerable less amount of foam out because of this
Excellent product and does what is advertised. If you monitor your chemicals, you hardly need this. Just follow the directions and it will last at least a month or two. Rinse it occasionally as directed. Thanks SpaDepot!
Zorbo Floating Oil Scum Absorber works Great!
Better not use more than couple months or will fall apart like a sponge
Put it in the hot tub and either we keep it pretty clean as it's been in it for a month and a half as has got gotten very dirty?
It floats on top of the spa water. Pretty simple and clear what to do with it. It soaks up oils from the skin.
just open the package and toss it in. clean with a hose about every week.
Definitely does a good job of capturing the grease. 🤢 It's not too big/bulky either!
Excellent product that absorbs a ton of scum and lasts way longer than the cheaper products! Definitely get what you pay for! #sweepstakes
Simply put in spa and spa water clears up and is clean
Easy way to keep the body oils from building up in the tub, without needing constant use of foam free, etc. #sweepstakes
I always make sure I have at least 1 backup of these. They absolutely work. Added insurance for your hot tub for sure. #sweepstakes is always good.
Picks up lots of oil, etc on water surface
This product has worked well. This is the second time I purchased it.
seem like you always have what I need so thank you so much & the best part of all is YOUR SHIPPINGPRICE DON'T KILL US! :)
This floats in the spa and helps to reduce soap bubbles. Seems to work ok.
Wonderful product, the only one we use
This product is a must have if you use your spa often.
First time using this product and from what I can tell so far, it works as advertised.
I let this float around and it does take the oil scum off surface top.
Takes care of body oil in spas. Excellent!
Great for our spa jacuzzi
This product is great. Throw it in the spa and it absorbs oil and scum. The top of the of the water is oil and scum free.
My experience with these is literally 50/50. The first two I bought worked great - Seemed durable and to do the job. The last two, not so much - Both arrived with broken plastic clips. One held together OK, though with a shorter life span - the mesh tore and the fiber material started unraveling. The other became oddly saturated and sank into the water rather than floating. After a rinse and leaving it out to dry, I put it back in the water - same thing. Then the fiber material started coming apart as other reviewers mention. I'm deciding whether to give it another go, or try a different style/brand of scum absorber.
How long does this last? Can it be washed?
Zorbo should be replaced every 3-4 months (every water change). We recommend rinsing Zorbo with a garden hose weekly to clear debris.
