{"product_id":"silicone-lube","title":"Pentair Lifeguard Silicone Lubricant, 3\/4 oz Bottle","description":"\u003cp\u003ePentair R172351 is the Lifeguard silicone lubricant, supplied in a 3\/4 oz bottle. It is made for the rubber seals, gaskets and O-rings that sit against plastic and metal in pool equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it belongs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentair recommends it for filters, pumps, chlorinators and valves, which are the places on a pool pad where corrosion takes hold and where a seal has to be opened and closed repeatedly. Lubricating the connecting parts extends the life of the rubber and helps stop O-rings and seals cracking as they age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it stops leaks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost nuisance leaks at a pump lid, a filter clamp or a union are a dry O-ring problem rather than a broken part. Without lubrication the ring drags, twists and rolls out of its groove as the fitting is tightened. A thin film lets it slide into place and seat evenly, so the joint seals the way it did when the equipment was new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3\/4 oz bottle is a service size. A small amount goes a long way on an O-ring, so one bottle covers a season of routine filter and pump work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629294825684,"sku":"RAI-45-959","price":10.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_72140d61-2de1-4167-a363-08434e1b4f71.png?v=1788762053","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/silicone-lube","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
