A clean Monkey is a happy Monkey. To keep you and your bath healthy, your bath requires some regular care
Importance of regular maintenance
The bath has a dual stage filtration system consisting of a particle filter and a UV filter. The water constantly circulates through both of these. The particle filter's job is to keep the water clear and the UV’s is able to remove most pathogens. If there is a blockage in the flow due to lack of cleaning you will find the bath will not work efficiently; the water will stop circulating and it will become dirty.
Frequency
Frequency | Action |
Weekly | Wipe down the steel above the water line / the top deck and the underside of the leatherette cover |
Every 4 weeks | Replace the particle filter |
Every 3 months | Replace the water |
Every 6 months | Replace the bulb in the UV filter |
Every 6 months | Full system flush |
Some simple and frequent TLC can help avoid bigger cleaning tasks or issues.
- Wipe down the steel above the water line using a clean damp microfibre cloth. A guide on cleaning the stainless steel can be found here.
- Wipe down the leatherette cover, especially if outside, with a clean cloth. If dirty, you can also use a standard, neutral pH household cleaning product.
- Check all the vents are clean and clear of debris

Replace the particle filter
The particle filter removes sediment & microscopic debris. Frequently changing this filter is key to keeping your Brass Monkey in good working order.
How to change a particle filter
Got a v2.0 bath? The filters and housing for this version are a little different. Follow the v2.0 filter replacement instructions. Unsure? Understand which version you have
Replace the water
While the particle filter and UV filter work hard to keep your water clean, a full water change is recommended every 3 months.
Whilst the bath is empty, clean the bath with either bicarbonate of soda or a neutral pH cleaner such as diluted washing up liquid. Rinse the sides and base and wipe dry with a clean microfibre cloth.

Replace the bulb in the UV filter
For optimal removal of viruses and bacteria from the water, we recommend replacing this bulb every 6 months.
Full system flush
Every 6 months we recommend a full system flush to remove the build up of bio film and bacteria from the system.
Using an internal system flush (we recommend a product like Lo-Chlor) follow the cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions to flush out the whole system.
This typically involves:
- Filling the bath with chemical cleaning fluid, leaving for 24 hours.
- Draining and refilling your bath multiple times to ensure all cleaning fluids are removed from the system before use.
Please note. Always follow the cleaning product manufacturer’s instructions
