Precautions 

Read Before Use

• Electric Shock
  FastWashers must always be used in a GFCI (Ground-fault circuit interrupter) plug. They can NEVER be used in a regular household plug. If you don’t know if you are using a GFCI outlet consult with a licensed electrician.
• Dry Running Pump
  The pump CANNOT ever be run without being fully submerged in water. The pump is not self-priming so the sink or tub you are using must always be full of water so that the water is level with the main body of the FastWasher. If the pump is ever run without water it voids the warranty.
• FastRack with Bottles
  Always make sure you have a FastRack that is full of bottles on the FastWasher before plugging it in. There is NO On/Off switch so water will immediately starting flowing out of the nozzles once the pump is plugged in.
• Do Not Overtighten the Pump(s)
  The pumps are only meant to screw on until you feel them snug against the FastWasher. Do not screw them on any further. This is all that is needed to create a seal. Never leave the FastWasher unattended while it is running. See page 4 for where cords should be placed (Pump Orientation).
• Water Temperature
  Never use water warmer than 106 Fahrenheit or 41 Celsius. The pump is cooled by the water so water any hotter than above will cause the pump to burn out. Using water above 106 Fahrenheit or 41 Celsius voids the warranty.
• Electric Drills
   DO NOT USE an electric drill on the screws. This will void the warranty as electric drills can easily overtighten the stainless steel screws and damage the plastic body of the FastWashers.
• Always use a FastRack
  The warranty is void if a FastRack is NOT used when rinsing, cleaning or sanitizing bottles. The FastWasher nozzles are not meant to support bottles and can break on when bottles are placed over them.
• Pump Rinsing
  Always fully rinse the pump in clean water after use to push out any debris and chemicals. Pull on the front casing that has the filter in it and run water through the top threaded inlet to flush the pump out.

Fast Washer FastBrewing & WineMaking Assembly Instructions

1. Read the list of PRECAUTIONS (page 3)
2. Lay out all the parts to ensure you are not missing anything
3. Get a Phillips screwdriver as that will be needed for the screws.
4. Place the bottom body on a solid at even surface such as a table.
5. Place the top body on top of the bottom body so the screw holes match up
6. Put in the first screw in one of the corners and use your finger to hold the nut in place in the counter sinked hole. The hole will hold the nut from spinning. Screw the screw in loosely. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN IT.
7. Put in the 2nd screw on the opposite side and opposite corner using the same method as #7.
8. Put in the 3rd screw on the opposite side as the 1st screw using the same method as #7.
9. Put in the 4th screw on the opposite side as the 3rd screw. Doing it in this fashion allows for even pressure to allow for a good seal. Continue to put in screws on opposite side until the unit is fully assembled
10. Put small black CO2 cover(s) over the CO2 inlet (s) on the bottom of the FastWasher
11. Now gently screw the pump onto the bottom water inlet (s) until it is snug. Once the pumps are snug that is all that is needed DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE PUMP IT WILL BREAK THE WATER INLET AND NOT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE.
12. Press the four legs into the sockets
13. Fill the basin with water and cleaner or sanitizer until the water is touching the main body of the FastWasher. The pump must be 100% fully submerged or it will dry run and break. Do a visual inspection to ensure the entire pump is submerged.
14. Place a FastRack with bottles on the FastWasher
15. Plug in the pump(s) into a GFCI unit and watch your bottles get a hands free cleaning or sanitizing!

Fast Washer FastBrewing & WineMaking Tips 

Usage Tips

1. Do not overtighten the screws or you will damage the FastWasher.
2. Note that the screws may need to be adjusted after the first run.
3. Make sure to clean your pump (s) before first use to remove any contaminants picked up during manufacturing, testing, shipping and storage. 

4. If the pump/FastWasher does not seem to be working very well you can remove the front casing that has the filter in it, do a quarter counter clockwise turn on the front inlet and remove the magnet and impeller. Inspect them for any debris, rinse and reinstall them.

   

Sanitize/Cleaning Tips

1. Always mix the cleaner or sanitizer in the recommended amounts from the manufacturer.
2. Always measure and add the necessary amount water added before mixing in the proper amount of sanitizer or cleaner.
3. Bottles do not take very long to sanitize on the FastWasher. Do a visual inspection on the bottle to ensure the inside is fully coated with sanitizer. Gently spinning the bottles in the FastRack helps with this.
