Details

The team of homebrewers at Blichmann Engineering and March Manufacturing have teamed to create the RipTide™
It solves a number of problems.

High performance curved blade impeller and strong rare earth magnets deliver 7 GPM and up to 21ft of lift
Tri-clamp head connection fully disassembles in seconds for easy cleaning
1/2" NPT inlet and outlet connections
Totally enclosed motor is splash proof and super quiet (50 dB)
Integral linear flow valve for superior flow control - don't spend more money for a separate valve and fittings.
Integral air vent valve and partially enclosed impeller design allows you to prime the pump in seconds
Stainless steel head rotates 360 degrees to fit in virtually any installation
Large stable base with protective rubber feet keeps the pump from tipping
Convenient power switch on the base
Includes a 10ft long cord without plug (230V)
Base acts as a cord wrap for convenient storage
Assembled in USA from USA and imported components
Patent pending

The new riptide pump out flows the competition while running at three times the efficiency!* When the flow rate decreases, the pressure goes up to provide a better whirlpool for cleaner wort, faster chilling, and a quicker transfer than ever before. Due to the curved vane impeller, you can pump over a gallon per minute faster at the same pressure as the competition’s pump.

*Based on hydraulic horsepower comparisons between a widely common home brewing pump and the new RipTide pump.
