Impeller Grease - For Marine Water Pumps
Impeller grease is a specially formulated lubricant designed to protect and extend the life of impellers in marine water pumps. Proper lubrication with the right grease prevents dry running, reduces friction and heat build-up, and ensures optimal pump efficiency. This is essential for reliable cooling of your boat engine.
Important properties of impeller grease:
- Water-repellent: Resists washout from water and maintains lubricity in wet environments.
- High temperature resistant: Can operate at the temperatures encountered in a water pump.
- Protects against dry running: Lubricates the impeller, especially at start-up, until water flows.
- Extends life: Reduces friction and wear on the impeller.
- Prevents corrosion: Helps protect metal parts in the pump.
Recommended use:
- Used when installing new impellers.
- Used when reassembling impellers after inspection.
- Can be used on impellers made of rubber or neoprene.
How to use impeller grease:
- Apply a generous amount of grease to the impeller housing and impeller.
- Make sure all surfaces in contact are covered, including the chambers and sides of the impeller.
- Follow the specific recommendations in your motor or pump manufacturer's instructions.
