Product Description
New: The Riptide pump now has vent with hose barb in the pump head for venting. In addition, the stainless steel thrust washer between the impeller and the pump head is no longer used. The stainless steel washer is not longer included and should not be added to the pump. This only applies to the new pump head version.
The one and only, top of the line, no compromise, RipTide™ Brew Pump from Blichmann Engineering. Built from the ground up for homebrewers. Now with Tri-Clamp connectors! No more fussing with threads.
The pump head on this beautiful, super quiet brew pump clamps on using a 3" Tri-Clamp Clamp, disassembling for cleaning in seconds. The integrated linear flow control valve on the output side eliminates the need for an additional ball valve. The attention to details show with the included on-off switch directly on the unit, a splash proof motor, and an air vent embedded in the pump head to make priming the pump a breeze. Most importantly, this pump performs, pushing 26 L/min with 6m of head pressure.
We sell mounting equipment for the Riptide pump: the pump mounting set combined with the equipment mounting stand is the perfect solution for a professional installation.

⚠️ Safety Information
- Warning: Hot liquid will escape from the vent barb when pulled. Wear a thermally insulated glove to prevent burns! DO NOT open the vent when the pump is running.
- Warning: Never remove the valve stem or open the housing clamp during use! Doing so may cause hot liquids to spray out of the pump head potentially causing severe burns.
- Always install the retaining clip on the valve stem prior to use to prevent unintentional removal during operation. Always stop turning if you see the threads!
- Warning: Always secure hoses with clamps to ensure that they do not come off during use.
- Warning: Never run the pump dry or permanent damage may result.
- Warning: This product is intended only for home beer and wine making applications. Do not use in hydronic or other applications. Never apply more than 15 PSI of static pressure. Operating outside of these parameters or using in other applications, could void the warranty, cause equipment damage, or cause personal injury.
