Assembly:
Your RipTide™ pump comes fully assembled. Prior to first use, disassemble the pump and soak the
pump head parts in your favorite non-chlorine based cleaner. We recommend Five Star Chemical’s
Powdered Brewery Wash (PBW) as a general cleaner for removing soils. Then soak in any non-chlorine
based sanitizer. We recommend Five Star Chemical’s StarSan.
Reassemble the pump as shown in the exploded view below. Note that the head can be oriented 360°
as desired.
Caution: Chlorine based cleaners and sanitizer are harmful to stainless steel and over time will pit and
erode the surface of the parts. Always use non-chlorine based sanitizers and cleaners.
