This guidance is for: Commercial Grade models shipped before March '24 which are identifiable by the filtration type. Your Commercial grade unit will have dual filtration with an 80 & 20 micron filter.
For PRO Models shipped after March '24 - head over to the guidance here
We believe that your No.1 priority as a commercial operator is the health and safety of your customers. This guide looks at ways of managing and maintaining good standards of water hygiene and controlling levels of dangerous waterborne bacteria.
The risks to the health of your customers primarily come from waterborne bacteria such as E. coli, coliforms, pseudomonas and one of the greatest threats that the sector has to deal with – the chlorine-resistant pathogen Cryptosporidium.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the health of your Brass Monkey and the safety of its users. We recommend the following protocol as a minimum guidance.
The Brass Monkey unit is a small body of water that has potential for high usage, making it more susceptible to bacterial contamination. It is crucial to balance the number of users with routine testing and adjustments using the appropriate chemicals to maintain water balance.
Understanding the Brass Monkey's robust 4 stage water filtration system:
| STAGE 1 | Pre Filter |
The pre-filter catches debris from the water before it passes to the next stage. |
| STAGE 2 | 80 Micron Mesh Filter |
The 80 micron mesh filter unit effectively traps solid sediment, which, when rinsed regularly, helps extend the lifespan of the particle filter and keeps the water clear of debris. |
| STAGE 3 | 20 Micron Particle Filter | This secondary filter collects the finer particles in the water down to 20 microns |
| STAGE 4 | UV Light | This powerful unit uses latest UV technology to help eliminate dangerous microorganisms such as cryptosporidium, adenoviruses and naegleria fowleri. |
Wet area risk assessment
Our guidelines are a recommendation of the minimum requirement. It is essential that you conduct a wet area risk assessment to determine the frequency of water sampling and testing required in your unique situation, establishing a bather load to water testing ratio. Regularly review this ratio based on the number of individuals using the Brass Monkey unit.
