Electric Shock - FastWashers must always be used in a GFCI (Ground-fault circuit interrupter) plug.
They can NEVER be used in a regular household plug. If you don’t know if you are using a GFCI outlet
consult with a licensed electrician.
Dry Running Pump - The pump CANNOT ever be run without being fully submerged in water.
The pump is not self-priming so the sink or tub you are using must always be full of water so that
the water is level with the main body of the FastWasher. If the pump is ever run without
water it voids the warranty.
FastRack with Bottles - Always make sure you have a FastRack that is full of bottles on the
FastWasher before plugging it in. There is NO On/O switch so water will immediately starting
owing out of the nozzles once the pump is plugged in.
Do Not Overtighten the Pump(s) - The pumps are only meant to screw on until you feel them
snug against the FastWasher. Do not screw them on any further. This is all that is needed to
create a seal. Never leave the FastWasher unattended while it is running. See page 4 for where cords
should be placed (Pump Orientation).
Water Temperature - Never use water warmer than 106 Fahrenheit or 41 Celsius. The pump is
cooled by the water so water any hotter than above will cause the pump to burn out. Using water
above 106 Fahrenheit or 41 Celsius voids the warranty.
Electric Drills - DO NOT USE an electric drill on the screws. This will void the warranty as
electric drills can easily overtighten the stainless steel screws and damage the plastic body
of the FastWashers.
Always use a FastRack - The warranty is void if a FastRack is NOT used when rinsing, cleaning or
sanitizing bottles. The FastWasher nozzles are not meant to support bottles and can break o
when bottles are placed over them.
Pump Rinsing - Always fully rinse the pump in clean water after use to ush out any debris and
chemicals. Pull o the front casing that has the lter in it and run water through the top threaded
inlet to ush the pump out.
