Mini Jet Filter

I use this every time I make my wine. I usually make Red wine, but I enjoy when I do make white wine, or cider, I still use it, and it’s great every time.

Got this a month ago, but couldnt use it as my wine was too young at the time. They recommend not filtering with the pump if the wine is only 30 days old and prefer you waiting until your wine is at least 2 to 3 months old. So I waited a month as my wine was just 45 days old at the time I received the pump. So used it today and it worked great. You have to follow all directions and the first time using it, keep the directions handy for reference as you go. I can say this, if you do not follow their recomendations and directions, you will have a mess. It didnt happen to me, but I could see at certain stages of filtration that messes could easily happen for those that dont follow the directions and/or recommendations. I got all the parts together on the counter, cleaned and sanitized the tubing and filter tray and other parts. Had my carboy of wine there next to the pump, and the carboy for pumping to. I also had an extra container to run the overflow tube into. The overflow tray catches minor leaks and drips from the filters which is going to happen. But as long as you have the tube hooked up and into the container, you will be okay. One thing your should do is make sure that your extra container for the overflow is below the level of the counter since the downslope is needed for the overflow tray and tube to work. Just like you needing to have your carboy lower than your wine carboy when you rack your wine. Same with the overflow. Takes some arranging to have a small table or box to set your overflow container so it will be below the level of your counter. then you soak your 3 filters you are going to use in a bowl of water for a minute or 2. Then put them in the right orientation in the filter area of the pump. Make sure you double check the orientation. The filters have a smooth side and a rough side. The rough side is the side that will be facing you as you install them. You have to use all 3 filters of that set. Once you have the filters installed and and the face plate is clamped down on them, hook up all your tubing. Then you have a gallon or two of water in another container on the counter and place your intake and output tubing into it and run the pump to pump water through for about a minute or two to check that all is hooked up as it should be and to get the pump going well. do not run the pump with no liquids being pumped. You will burn it up. All through these procedures it does help alot to have someone there to assist you. Otherwise you might need to grow a spare hand or two. Once you have run the water through for a couple of minutes, place your output tube in the carboy you are pumping your wine to, and the input tube into your wine carboy. And make sure your overflow tube is in your overflow container. Ooops one thing I forgot. You need to put your output tube into the container that you had your water in and once you turn on your pump for the wine, let it pump into it for a few seconds till your wine is coming out because it will pump water at first from the water that you had pumped through it to prime your pump. As soon as you see wine coming out the output tube you can shut down the pump and put the tube back into your receiving carboy. Then start your pump back up and watch you wine flow into the carboy. Sparkling clear and looking good. I used a number 2 filter as my wine had been racked enough to get it pretty clear. If your wine is young, or you have used ingrediants that left pieces in your wine, you should use a number 1 filter as well as getting the company's prefilter which is designed to catch the pieces...small ones..that might be left in your wine. If they go through your pump it could be damaged. Once your wine has finished running through the filter, shut it off, do your cleanup and let your wine rest for a few days before you either bottle it or run through another filttration with a set of the finer filters. If you need to filter more than 5 or 6 gallons of wine, you need to let the pump cool off for 1 5 or 20 minutes before you filter any more than the first 5 or 6 gallons. Again, let your wine rest for several days before you bottle it or filter it more. Filtering your wine causes it to be agitated. If you try to bottle at the time you filter you stand a chance of your wine developing bottle shock. Which ruins your wine. I cannot stress enough that you read the directions well, and follow their recomendations and directions. If you do, you should have no problems. Things can happen though despite the best preparation so if you see leaking that is greater than you expect, be prepared to shut the pump off and check your setup. Also, as I said above, it does help if you have someone there to assist you. Helps a great deal. The wine that ends up in your overflow container can be either put into your output carboy or you can set it aside for a refreshing drink as you take a break after you clean your work area and filter. On average, you might get get from a cups worth or several cups worth go into the overflow. Its going to happen but dont be concerned if you get 3 or 4 cups worth. Just put into your output carboy or drink it. Preferably you drink it after you are finished with everything...you dont want to be buzzed and try to work at the same time...or maybe you do. Good luck.

Muy buen producto 👍

Works well but leaks a bit more than expected, other reviews I read said the same thing.
