FLOWER SLIDE PUMP (FSP)

Description

FSP is a revolutionary product to bring you an automated process to clean your Flower Slides quickly and easily with a small enough footprint to fit on your sesh table.

The FSP cleans your dirty slides faster, (less than 30s) much faster than soaking and only runs alcohol through the dirty parts of your slides.

No more residue on the outside of your slide from soaking in semi-dirty ISO (99% isopropyl alcohol). Reduces alcohol & q-tip usage.

Keep your slides pristine!

Q: Does it clean better than soaking?
A: YES VERY MUCH SO!!! The 99% ISO being pumped through the slide, inside, and outside of the warm slide cleans significant better than just setting your warm slide in a dunk tank.

Q: Does it clean better than sonicating?
A: YES SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER! While an isonic bath cleans a little better than a dunk tank. It’s not much better, and way worse clean than FSP! It vibrates the ISO, but it doesn’t pump it through the slide, so there’s still residual left inside your slide. (Also isonic baths can cause unnecessary pressure to the welds of slide, and on the worse quality welds it can cause breakage)

Q: What size slides are compatible?
A: 14mm and 18mm male.

Q: What is the plastic, is the 3d printed internal compatible with iso?
A: PLA+, yes compatible with iso and polar solvents

Q: Is the pump compatible with iso?
A: Yes compatible with iso and polar solvents. Also compatible with purple power, 420 cleaner, and other cleaning products (as long as they are liquid only with NO SALT)

Q: How often do you need to replace the alcohol?
A: Heavy usage: 2-3 days
Moderate usage: 6-7 days

Q: Do I still need to qtip?
A: Optional but can be used for excess residue to preserve cleanliness of FSP iso.
Can also be used for drying step.

Q: What happens if I don’t spray clean iso after the FSP cleans?
A: If the FSP iso is dirty, the residual on the slide will cause it to stay dirty / chaz, using a final clean iso spray ensures that any dirty iso is washed away so there is less potential for chazing.

Q: Is it a wall plug in or battery?
A: Both (FSP is a very low power device and can run for weeks off the small battery we sell on terpslurppump.com) and we include velcro to attach the battery to the side of FSP for ease of travel.

Q: Can it clean rigs or puffco parts?
A: No not rigs yet, but we may make a future product for that.
YES IT CAN CLEAN YOUR PUFFCO ATOMIZER and other small accessories.

Q: Does it clean joint glass tips?
A: Yes, we made an adapter specifically for glass tips and other small accessories! (Funnel Attachment)

Q: Can it clean with the pillar still in?
A: For best results, dump out the pillar into a small pillar dunk first. (Available on terpslurppump.com)

PLA Concerns:
Degradation of PLA occurs primarily above 60C which is 140F+. That’s if the alcohol the pla is sitting in is higher than that. It gets worse with 120C+. But cold iso is compatible and similar to water with regard to plastic compatibility.

Since the potential issues would be related to weakening of structural integrity causing cracking, warping or swelling of the PLA, we have been conducting stress tests with FSP units left on with dirty ISO over months to ensure no changes are occurring to the PLA parts exposed to ISO.

In addition, we have had pillar dunk tank jars with the same PLA printed material soaking for multiple years that have not changed or lost structural integrity. NO LEACHING AT ALL! (The only time PLA will deform/leach in 99% ISO is when you put hot slides on the PLA like a dunk tank, not a problem with FSP)

So in conclusion, while PLA may have compatibility conflicts with hot ISO, for our product’s intended use there is no impact to the structural integrity, which is supported from our stress testing.

Electricity and pump:
We have run tests where we kept the pump running with dirty ISO for many months straight. And it continued to run strong. We also have units out in the field for 2+ years testing with our alpha testers and they’re still running strong with no problems.

One of our founders is a chemist with a background in rigorous testing protocols. Per his input, ISO is a polar solvent that is semi-flammable but more similar to water than to gasoline/hexane, so ISO doesn’t have that low of a vapor pressure and will not volatilize as easily. It’s the vapors that are flammable vs the liquid with other more flammable substances.

The pump is rated for nonpolar solvents, and we are testing it under stress without breaks in function to ensure our users will have no issues.

We have done months of testing without stopping and are very confident in the safety of our product for our community.
