Aladdin Magic Lube II Silicone Lubricant 5oz
Product Overview
Unlike petroleum-based lubricants that degrade rubber seals, this pure silicone compound forms a non-melting, water-resistant barrier on pool valve and pump O-rings.
Formulated as a pure silicone synthetic compound, Aladdin Magic Lube II (#651) provides a waterproof seal and boundary lubrication on internal valve diverters, plunger O-rings, and pump lid gaskets. Unlike petroleum jellies that degrade rubber or wash out under pressure, this 5 oz. (5oz tube) formula resists chemical washout and will not swell EPDM or Viton seals under adverse operating conditions.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Pure Silicone Base
Formulated without petroleum distillates, ensuring O-rings, EPDM gaskets, and valve seats never swell, soften, or crack over time.
High-Tack Water Resistance
Resists mechanical washout under high pressure and chlorinated water flow across multi-port and diverter valves.
Adverse Condition Sealing
Maintains physical viscosity from -40°F to 425°F without melting or migrating into pool filtration equipment.
Compatibility
- Safe for EPDM, Viton, Buna-N, and Neoprene rubber seals
- Compatible with pump lids, push-pull backwash valves, chlorinators, and diverter valves
- Do not use on pure silicone O-rings, which can swell when exposed to silicone lubricants
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Never pack a thick bead of silicone into an O-ring channel; excess lubricant attracts sand and diatomaceous earth that cuts sealing faces. Spread a pea-sized dab between your fingers, coat the ring until it shows a uniform sheen, and place it clean into the groove.
Common Questions & Instructions
What is the difference between Aladdin Magic Lube red tube and Magic Lube II blue tube?
Magic Lube (red tube) is a PTFE-based compound suited for broad sealing and standard threaded fittings, whereas Magic Lube II #651 (blue tube) is a pure silicone grease formulated specifically for high-friction valve seals and chlorinator lids where zero swelling of rubber seals can be tolerated.
Can I use Aladdin Magic Lube II on pump lid and filter tank O-rings?
Yes. Magic Lube II is safe for pool pump lid O-rings, filter tank belly band gaskets, and chlorinators. Its thick silicone chemistry creates an airtight seal that helps eliminate suction-side air leaks without breaking down synthetic elastomers.
How often should I reapply Magic Lube II to pool equipment gaskets?
Reapply a thin coat of this 5 oz. lubricant whenever you open the pump strainer basket or clean your filter, typically every 3 to 6 months. For automated diverter valves, applying it once per season maintains smooth mechanical actuator rotation.
