How to get your bath up and running

For PRO Models shipped after March '24 - head over to the guidance here

Safety first

Leave your bath unplugged until the setup is complete and you are instructed to power up.
Your power socket must be earthed and RCD protected. Under no circumstances should you ever use an adaptor or extension lead.
Primary protection should be within your home’s electrical circuit.
Only use this product if you feel well and physically capable. Consult your doctor if you are unsure.
This product is not for children. Always ensure small children are supervised near the bath.

Step one: Check the power socket

Your bath has been individually tested for safety before leaving our workshop. However, we can’t account for where the units are plugged in. This is why we ask you invest a few minutes to double-check the safety of the power socket you intend to use to power your Brass Monkey.

It is your responsibility to ensure your ice bath is plugged into a socket with:

an earthed electrical supply
30mA RCD (residual current device) protection

If you are unsure, speak to an electrician before going any further. Under no circumstances should you ever use an adaptor or extension lead. If you need a power socket closer, speak to an electrician.

Step two: Check your bath’s position

Before commencing setup, check you have your bath in the correct position:

Surface: Your bath is heavy, especially when full of water. It needs to be sat on a hard and flat surface capable of holding 750kg+.

Ventilation: Your bath has vents on 2 sides, these will need to sit 30cm clear of any obstruction to allow the air to flow.

Water: Your bath will need filling with fresh tap water (never fill from a swimming pool or other water source), so make sure your bath is placed in reach of a hose.

Signal: Your bath comes ready to be connected to your Wifi network. It will need to sit within range of a strong 2.4Ghz Wifi signal on a private home network.
