Fluval Silicone Lubricant is a genuine maintenance product designed to help protect and extend the life of aquarium filter seals and moving components. Regular application helps keep rubber O-rings, gaskets, seal rings, primer stems and latches operating smoothly while reducing the risk of drying, sticking, or premature wear.
Fluval specifically recommends using a silicone-based lubricant on filter seals rather than petroleum jelly, vegetable oil, or other unsuitable lubricants, which can damage rubber components over time.
