Spike Flow
The pump itself is a huge upgrade from the March pumps I have been using for the past 10 years. What a difference in performance and they run so quiet. Very happy with the purchase! Only issue was the gasket on one of the pumps I purchased was flimsy and needed to be replaced. I ordered two gaskets with one to be on hand if any other gasket issues come up.
Spike flow review
These are amazing. Super quiet and really have good flow pressure. A couple small adjustments seem to be needed but the Facebook group has all the answers, and they’re easy small adjustments. Only needed depending on shipping it seems. I own two! Wish these existed 15 years ago when I started!
Spike Pump
Quiet, powerful and amazing.
Lives up to its name.
After one of my Riptides died I decided to go with the Spike Flow. I thought I would miss the integrated flow control from the Riptide but I found that I could manage well with just a ball lock attached to the outflow side. From my observations it appears to do I better job with my whirlpool and I feel as though it primes better. It did come with the silicone washer that I was not expecting. I ended up having to remove it since the pump would not work with it in. It was noisier than i expected but after breaking in it definitely quieted down quite a bit. I’ve only used it once since I hooked it up. But I am looking forward to many years of use.
It’s a badass pump!
I use this pump in my home brewery, but I also use it in my commercial brewery to move water from one tank to the other so I’m not tying up my cart pump. I love the long power cord and taking it apart for cleaning is super easy with the big try-clamp that holds the front part on. Get one and you won’t be disappointed!
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.
