NEW Product Launch - Spike Brew Pump

[Ki-ri-n]

Got mine yesterday and started taking it apart to see 1st hand how it all works. Waiting on other fittings so I can take it for a test ride this weekend hopefully.
Is there going to be a "rebuild" kit option available? I don't see any of the "wearable" parts listed on the site yet (o-rings, impeller shaft, ect).

I'm sure I won't need anything for quite awhile but would like to have some backups-just in case.

Those should be on the website. You can always email our Support team as well.

I'm not seeing them either. Went through everything on the accessories page, etc.

Just got my Flow yesterday. Haven't tested it on a brew yet, but did test it out with water. It pushes a lot more liquid than my riptide. Noticeably stronger whirlpool, and it even manages a weak whirlpool through my CFC whereas the riptide can't. It's slightly quieter than the riptide, as expected, though not a huge difference. The pump head also feels noticeably heavier duty than the riptide.

Will probably brew with it tomorrow!

Pre-order is currently open for both NPT and TC. Says it will ship in March.

In case anyone else has the crazy noise issue. This video walks you through the adjustment/fix. Mine was out of the .22” spec like his in the video. Startling noise for a new pump, wish something was in the manual for it.

Mine started making that noise midway into my brew day. I ignored it (since I couldn't do much about it super easily) and it quieted down after about 30 minutes. Thanks for that video though, I'll have to check the adjustment on mine.

Otherwise, aside from the noise problem, I'm liking the pump. Much more power than my riptide, and didn't stall out as badly with super restricted flow during the mash.

Still waiting on @SpikeBrewing on where those rebuild parts are though not seeing them listed on the website still, and I would like to pick up some spares for any wear items just to have on hand. Understandable if they just aren't available yet due to the demand for the pump itself, as long as they'll be listed once demand lets up a little.

@SpikeBrewing Is there an ETA on when this round of pumps will start shipping? I think I read somewhere on your website it was March, correct? Thank you
