It is made for the wet fittings that pool and spa equipment is built from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnywhere a rubber or plastic part has to seal and then come apart again, a silicone lube earns its place: pump lid o-rings, filter body o-rings, valve stems, unions and plastic gears. The compound is water repellent, which is what keeps it working on a part that sits in pool water, and it has a grease like consistency with high tack so it stays on the part instead of running off during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy silicone and not petroleum grease\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compound is chemically inactive against the rubber and plastic it touches, so it will not swell or degrade an o-ring the way a petroleum product can. Its dielectric properties also make it usable around electrical fittings, and it works as a release agent, which is why a lubed o-ring lifts out cleanly at the next service instead of tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accumetric Inc\/ Boss Pool\u0026spa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634495303892,"sku":"BOS-60-3007","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_46a3c3c7-82b8-469d-9dd2-ead1548f569d.png?v=1788832842","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/spa-lube-compound-5-3-oz-12-cs","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
