After Use Cleaning and Storage: 

 

After use completely disassemble the pump and soak the parts in PBW.  Do NOT soak the motor in any 

liquid at any time!  To clean spilled wort off of the motor, use a gentle spray of warm water and dry 

with a soft cloth. Then rinse the parts in hot tap water and soak the parts in StarSan.  Allow the parts to 

air dry and reassemble the pump for storage. 

 

 

 

 

Note:  

If installing the RipTide™ to the Tower of Power™ LTE you will 

need to cut the cord of the RipTide™ to 3 Feet. Strip the outer 

cover 1.5” (40 mm) from the end to reveal 3 wires inside. Strip 

the green, white, and black wires 3/8” (10 mm) from the end.
