United StatesMonster machine
This is by far the best pumpbi have used for my 1bbl brewery. Amazing pressure, flow, and minimal noise so you can keep jamming out on brew day. Stop wasting money on just a pump and get quality pump that can eat those others
United StatesComplete and utter disappointment
I was excited to use my Spike Flow for the first time today- like all Spike products it looks cool and is packed with features. However, first use it seemed to leak from the main tri-clamp. I turned the clamp down as much as I could, but no luck. Admittedly, I had some less-than-ideal troubleshooting on this as I was having boiling-hot wort spill all over, creating an absolutely chaotic brewing day while I tried to get more beer into the fermenter than floor. Have a lot of other Spike products I've been really happy with, but this one should be a hard pass.
United StatesBest pump I have had
Great. It has a lot better flow than other pumps I have had. It has a high rate of flow and easy to incorporate into a system.
United StatesLove the Flow !
Super quiet, great flow rate compared to Chugger, easy cleaning. Definitely worth the money. We'll be buying another soon from our LHBS.
United StatesBig pump…mixed feelings
I am undecided if it is more pump than necessary for a usual home brewer. Least favorite part is the turn screw bleed port. Best part is easy open clamp. Has it improved my brew day, not really. Perhaps others with greater needs will experience more benefits.
Air Relief Valve
Placing a purge valve on the inlet side of the pump provides the best way of getting air out of your pump head and hoses. Just twist the easy to grip knurled knob, then water and air start to flow through the ARV outlet.
We even placed a little barb in the pump head casting that faces front and center, so it's easy to collect fluid out of the barb and dump it back into your kettle. Since the inlet of the pump doesn't produce any pressure, the valve can be open even when the pump is flowing and you won't get sprayed.
Higher Pressure
Why is higher pressure better? Well, high pressure makes for better cleaning when using a CIP ball. It also helps give a better whirlpool when running through a chiller. It helps move your wort quickly when pumping through hoses, which ultimately shortens your Brew Day.
Higher Flow
7,874 feet of 3D printer filament and almost 100 pump prototypes designs...that's what was required as part of developing the Spike Flow pump head. The was crucial for achieving our industry-leading performance goals. We invested in further techniques such as clear SLS prints (so we could see and visualize the water and air flow through the housing) and CNC machined parts to be able to run hot water and wort testing before our casting tools were ready for prime time.
