Default What material is used for pool equipment o-rings (buna? viton? nitrile? silicone?)

Why?

The problem with the kits, by the way, is that they're incomplete.

For example, the Aladdin GO-KIT38-9 for my pump is missing the drain
plug o-rings; and there doesn't seem to be a filter o-ring kit for
the 25-inch diameter Sta-Rite System 3 Model S8M150 filter tank.


Kits are from different companies, I guess. Filter canister O-ring on
the filter is usually sold as a single item or include an O-ring for
the strainer basket on the pump housing (my experience).

Pump kits may fit different models, whereas, a filter O-ring is
specific to the style of the filter housing.
