Use Keg Lube as pool gasket lube?

[rtstrider]

Hey all! I have an abundance of Keg Lube and would like to know if it would be safe/effective to use for the gasket on the Chlorinator. It's a Hayward CL100 I find I get a bit more life out of the gaskets with pool lube than without it. If I don't use pool lube I'll get 1 use per gasket. These are Amazon gaskets. No they aren't tourqed down or anything crazy like that. The lube helps keep it sealed without crazy tourqing. Anywho this is the lube I have currently

Afraid not. According to its MSDS, it's petroleum based which is a no-no for our pool equipment.

I believe that is mineral oil based and thus will destroy the gaskets.

Silicone based lubricants only. No Teflon and not from a spray (propellant are usually not good for rubber o-rings). BOSS Lube products work best.
