How it Works
A rechargeable battery powers two air pumps. The pumps pressurize the beverage bottles, which pushes the beverage out the siphon tubes thru the beverage lines to the taps. The forward and reverse switch activates either the port or starboard bottle pumps when the variable speed throttle is turned.
Practically any beverage can be dispensed using a variety of containers - wine bottles, beer growlers, liquor bottles, soda bottles, etc. Cleaning is easy; simply disconnect the two air lines and take the siphon tubes, beverage lines and taps to the sink.
