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.
