Product Description
The RipTide™ pump
The RipTide™ is the very first pump designed specifically for homebrewing, and it’s the last pump you’ll ever need! Gone are the days of making do with a general-purpose pump that’s hard to disassemble, difficult to prime, requires modifications, and makes more noise than it’s worth. The team of homebrewers at Blichmann Engineering and our friends at March Manufacturing have created the patent-pending RipTide™ to solve all of these problems with a made-for-homebrewing pump.
All this and super quiet too!
