GE recommends 'Food grade' lubricant to lubricate the O-rings in their water filters. Does this qualify?

Don't really know other than some sources say that is what it is for. I use it on my filters and am still breathing.

Does not say anything on tube, so I would think not. Food grade lubricants are usually labeled as suitable or approved for such use.

Hello -- We recommend using a water-based lubricant with this Sasha Grey UR3 stroker, as it will ensure the longevity of products that contain silicone. You can find a plethora of water-based lubes by searching the Vert Delivery Amazon Storefront with keywords such as "water based lube". Thank you for shopping with us. ~Vert Delivery

You should only use water based lube with this (as with most toys that are not glass or aluminum). Thank you for shopping with GW Corp!

Yes, a new o-ring is included. everything you need is included in the kit. I used Vaseline as a light o-ring lubricant. Just follow supplied instructions. worked great

I always lubricate the o-ring before every dive trip. Occasionally, I will re-lubricate during the trip (e.g. if the o-ring gets dirty for some reason... stuff happens).

FROM food grade plastic or FOR food grade?We use it in our restaurant to drain the grease from deep fryer. Works great. Heavy duty.

If desired you can but not nessessary. It will require more attention as it will clog faster but will give longer life to the filter with using oil. Ive done with and without.

I don't recognize the reference to "oil can", and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't need oil. Any O ring has to stay flexible to function fully, and so that may need some level of grease, but I think that if it's used regularly it's unlikely to need attention in normal lifetime.

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash awayfrom the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

I'm not sure--think it's more of a lubricant. I think you'd have to send an email to the manufacturer to be sure.

yes........the XG800e is a fully pressurized lubrication system with spin on oil filter.

Yes. It's the magnets that balance out the minerals in the water, keeping them from leaving rings in your bowl. Just drop the cartridges in the tank as they are (do take out of plastic bag.)

I'm not a diver,and have only used this product on water filter O-Rings, but I can't imagine there being a better or cheaper product to preserve/lubricate/ rubber that is exposed to water......and a little bit goes a looooong way. I would recommend trying it, and at worst you'd have a less expense product for maintenance and storage of your gear...I believe it'd make an excellent seal though......and regarding deterioration of the rubber/silicone mask, silicone grease should be the lesser of other petroleum evils.

Manufacturer provides everything you need for the initial install. This includes a rubber O-ring gasket. I have not experienced any gasket failures on the units I have installed. Earlier installs have been in service for many years now with no failures. I would recommend this filter unit to anyone with basic plumbing skill. Quality unit makes for a easier clean install.

i don't know. my unit is a GXWH35F. you could probably go on to GE's web site to find out. when I shopped for these previously at HD they carried a full line of GE filters and replacement cartridges. lot's of filters and limited filters so i'm guessing many filters can be used in different units. sorry I could not be more helpful

Tammy for added water protection. Gently Swipe the o-ring rubber seal with silicone grease before closing case. Use a Q-Tip to do this. It has to be silicone. All others will deteriorate and destroy o-ring. Grease must be petroleum free. Make sure iPhone is clean, free of smudges, fingerprints, camera lens clean with Q-tip etc. Case is clean of debris, dust, hair, my-newt particles screen as well for optimum protection & function of iPhone. Use compressed air to help & cleaning wipe that comes with case.

No o-ring but there is a rubber gasket to seal the outter perimeter of the metal filter. This M1-103 filter is not a cartridge filter for internal oil filters. This is an external metal can filter.
