Aussie Gold Lube-It Multi-Purpose Silicone Lubricant 500g (ALH005)

Aussie Gold Lube-It Multi-Purpose Silicone Lubricant — SKU ALH005, 500g tub. A silicone-based, translucent, non-toxic lubricant designed for pool and spa equipment maintenance. Ideal for lubricating rubber O-rings, seals, and gaskets to prevent drying, cracking, and leaking. Also acts as a water repellent and corrosion inhibitor on pool equipment fittings and components.

Safe for use on rubber, plastic, and pool equipment. Will not degrade rubber compounds — unlike petroleum-based lubricants which cause rubber to swell and deteriorate.

Applications

• Rubber O-rings (pump lids, filter lids, valves, unions)
• Seals and gaskets
• Swimming pool and spa equipment
• Perishable rubber components
• Water repellent for fittings and connections
• Corrosion inhibitor on metal and plastic pool fittings

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to lubricate pool O-rings and seals?

Pool O-rings and rubber seals are exposed to pool chemicals, UV, heat, and constant pressure cycling. Without lubrication, they dry out, harden, and crack — leading to leaks at pump lids, filter lids, multiport valves, and union connections. Applying a thin coat of silicone lubricant each time you open and reseal these fittings keeps the rubber supple, ensures a watertight seal, and extends the life of the O-ring significantly.

Why silicone lubricant and not petroleum-based grease?

Petroleum-based lubricants (such as Vaseline or general-purpose grease) cause rubber to swell and deteriorate over time, which can damage O-rings and seals rather than protect them. Silicone lubricant is chemically inert and safe for rubber, plastic, and pool equipment materials. Always use a silicone-based lubricant on pool O-rings and seals.

Where is Lube-It most commonly used in pool maintenance?

The most common applications are: pump lid O-rings (applied each time the lid is removed for basket cleaning), filter lid O-rings, multiport valve O-rings and union O-rings, chlorinator lid seals, and any rubber gasket on pool equipment. A thin smear applied to the O-ring before reassembly is all that is needed.

How much should I apply?

Apply a thin, even coat of Lube-It to the O-ring or seal surface using a finger or clean cloth. You do not need a thick layer — a light smear is sufficient to provide lubrication and a watertight seal. Wipe away any excess before reassembling the fitting.
