Lubricate Hayward Vari-Flow?

[Steverino]

Hi all,

Just a quick question: after a number of years in service, our Vari-Flow valve has become hard to turn. Makes a squeaky plastic-on-plastic sound. Otherwise works fine, though.

The instructions don't seem to say anything about lubrication. Would a quick shot of silicone spray be appropriate? I don't want to mess up the seals - just reduce the friction.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve
