Easy to maintain
We design the baths to be as maintenance light
as possible. The cleaning guidelines will largely
depend on the environment that the bath is in
and the level of usage.
The maintenance will consist of changing the
filter and UV bulb. Depending on usage you
should only need to change the filter every 4
weeks and the UV bulb once a year. To ensure
your water stays clean for as long as possible we’d
always recommend taking a quick shower before
jumping in your ice bath!
Patented Ice Cycles
Yes you’ve read that right. Our patented
technology means our ice baths & plunges
run what we call ice cycles. We freeze the base
of the bath and release it in cycles, this creates
15-30mm ice sheets that break up easily and
means your ice bath can drop to zero degrees
with ice in. Ice cycles will begin when the bath
is set to below 1C.
Intelligent and app connected
Our ice baths are designed to ensure you can
just say focussed on your immersion. We have
6 sensors all feeding into our software to ensure
temperature control and ice formation is as
energy ecient and precise as possible. Using
our companion app you can schedule your bath
to be ready when you want it to be bringing
further eciency to your bath. Once your
bath is online we can monitor the performance
and automatically send updates over the air.
You will need
• Filter cartridge
• Hosepipe
• Your smart phone
Tips
• Leave the bath switched
o whilst setting up
• Don’t use an extension cable
• Use clean water from the tap
• Typically it will take around 24 hours
for your bath to get down to 0C
How it works
Getting set up
1. Download the Brass Monkey app
Create an account and add your device,
then scan the QR code on the unit
2. Install the filter cartridge
This is the filter in the accessories pack and sits in the
big grey filter housing, instructions on page 8
3. Fill it up with water
Using a hosepipe, fill to just above the inlet, the grey
circular fitting towards the top right in the bath
4. Bleed the filter
Release any air locks by turning the air relief
key at the top of the filter housing
5. Plug it in
Just plug in to a normal socket on an RCD protected
circuit. The bath will now start cooling to 0.6°C -
you can set the required temp on the app or from
the control panel. Time to get your cold on!

GETTING SET UP
Filling the bath
Step one
Fill the bath from a clean tap water
supply to 3cm above the water outlet,
allowing for some water displacement
when you get in.
Step two
When the bath is filled to the
correct level, bleed any air out of the
filter by loosening the air relief key
on the filter until all air has escaped.
Then you can tighten it back up.
Step three
Plug the bath in and switch it on.
The power supply should be
connected to an RCD circuit.
We do not advise using
extension cables.
Step four
Set your desired temperature
from 10°C down to as low as 0°C.
If you would like ice to be created
within the bath set it to 0.6 °C.

Important!
Do not bleed the filter whilst the power is on as this can cause air locks
which result in an inecient filter.
Do not remove the air relief key completely or the black washer that seals
the key - this can result in filter malfunction.

The bath can take up to 24 hours to
get down to freezing temperatures.
When it is down to temperature,
toggle up and down by 0.1°C to
achieve your desired level of ice.
