For parts that are constantly touching water, use GE Silicone I (also labeled as 1200), or aquarium grade silicone...For all other parts, you can use the easier to find and cheaper GE silicone II. Just make sure to give a few weeks of curring time.

The best silicone should smell like extremely strong vinegar. Ge silicone II does not.
