I have to replace the drinking water filters every six months and silicone
grease the 'O' rings.
I use a food grade silicone grease that is available in the water filter
section of Home Depot.

For treating rubber and silicone parts in scuba equipment, we always
used
either a silicone spray or grease.
For the scuba stuff, you obviously needed food handler grade materials,
which was very pure. I have noticed that many of the silicone sprays
and
stuff in the automotive section tend to be silicone + some other stuff.
Never sure if the 'other stuff' would affect the ability to use it to
treat
rubber. I finally found a tube of silicone grease at Napa that I at
least
convinced myself was okay for rubber parts, maybe someone else can
recommend
a good silicone spray/grease that is safe for rubber.
