Reply To: New impeller lube

Thanks everyone, good tips.
Did some additional research, and silicone based products seem to come up as the most used.
I am going to use Dow Corning 111 since I had a tube laying around. It’s a silicone lubricant, used on orings and valves, so a light coating on the impeller housing surfaces should help the impeller for its first startup, without any bad after effects on the rubber.
