How to lube a Jandy NeverLube valve

[Drew80]

Ok, so that sounds like a contradiction, but I have one NeverLube valve that is REALLY hard to turn. I'd like to open it up and lube it. Is that a bad idea?

It most likely just needs to be taken apart and cleaned, but using a silicone based lube such as Boss 820, Magic Lube II (Not regular Magic Lube), or Dow 111 should be helpful.

There is a set-screw that locks the handle in place. Make sure that the set screw is loosened before turning the handle.

Also, note that the NeverLube come with a lifetime guarantee. If the valve won't work after cleaning, Jandy might help you out with this.
