Spike Flow Pump Noise Fix

The Spike Flow pump sometimes has a louder than normal sound that comes and goes. Thanks to another UA-camr, @jwhazel , I found a solution.

Nice adjustment. I would be worried if I heard that noise on a new pump. Comes down to in house quality control. Spike might start addressing this possibly at manufacturing.

this fix was done for 15 cents, literally

Just an FYI for maybe someone. I had this noise and the fix did not fix it for me. I had this noise when recirculating at 0.75 gal/min. If you increase the flow rate it goes away, but I can't recirculate at a higher rate. Spike was perplexed and ended up sending another pump, which they had checked the gap fix. Same problem. So, if you recirculate at a higher rate the pump is likely excellent, but at 0.75 gal/min it is crazy noisey where the Riptide is perfectly quiet.

My set screw wasn’t even tight.

Saw that video after watching your last one on this pump. Good catch Larry.

Thanks Larry for answering my question from your last brew day about this pump noise issue and helping roll out a fix.

It took me a while to get back to it
