Silicon Grease

[Waggs]

I was just wondering, has anyone ever used silicon grease to lubricate moving parts in their systems?

I use it all the time, it's a must have in my toolkit

I get the stuff thats says 100% silicone no petroleum products

there a couple brands but most of them will look like this

That the exact product I have. Cool and I have it in 2 tool boxes. I just wanted to double check with folks here. Thanks.

I've used that same product on th 'o' rings on my old skimmer. Never caused an issue.

I use teflon grease. Works great, and lasts longer than silicone.

I also use the o-ring silicone lubricant. I use it to coat the shafts of the impellers on my powerheads. I feel like I can go longer without cleaning them when I do that.
