Jandy Neverlube Maintenance?? Getting Tough to Actuate

[Stryprod]

Hi!


I have a Jandy neverlube valve that seems to be a smidgen too tight. Tried the lock, etc… might just be really old. Are there O rings that need to be replaced periodically, etc?


Thank you!

There are not O rings that affect the turning of the valve.

I had mine apart today working on an issue and just out of habit oiled the o-rings with silicone o-ring lubricant before reassembling it. Oh well. I realized afterwards it was a Neverlube. I wonder what makes those o-rings special? They look just like the o-rings on all my other leaky equipment. I can't imagine it did any harm?
