      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.
      • The inline RCD is there as an additional level of protection. 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 

      To help, in your starter pack we included a Smart Socket Tester. Follow the instructions provided with the tester to check your socket is safe. 

      If the socket is good, continue with setup. If it fails or you are still 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.

      Step three: Install the particle filter 

      Step four: Fill your bath 

      You can now use a hose to fill your bath with clean tap water.

      Stop at 3cm above the return flow hole.

      Stopping here allows for some water displacement when you get in.

      Step five: Power up 

      Plug your bath directly into an RCD protected & earthed socket and turn the power on at the socket.

      Press the RESET button on the inline RCD protector on the power cable.

      Your control panel will now light up and display the current temperature.

      You’ll hear your bath start to pump the water.

      Step six: Bleed the filter 

         

      Press and hold the red button on top of the filter housing to release any trapped air.

      Release the button when water begins to flow out.

      Your bath is up and running! 

      It can take up to 24 hours to cool the water down to your target temperature.
