Changing Monk Origin’s filter

Step 1: Drain Origin by following our Changing the Water guide. Check that Origin is turned off and wait till the cooling unit fan is stationary.

Step 2: Open the hatch doors to access the filter

Step 3: Place a towel underneath the filter housing, as water may spill out

Step 4: Unscrew the filter housing clockwise. Carefully remove it, and discard the water and filter inside from inside the filter housing

Step 5: Give the filter housing a rinse, with clean water and a little soap if necessary

Step 6: Place the new filter inside the filter housing

Step 7: Screw the filter housing anti-clockwise into the filter lid, and ensure it is tightly assembled, and ensure the filter is sitting upright and not tiled. You'll likely need to use both hands to do this.

Step 8: Now you’re ready to refill Origin. Once the water is over the minimum fill line (this is the lowest of the three fill lines), you can turn Origin on and the water housing will refill with circulating water

Frequency

We recommend changing the filter every 4 weeks, depending on usage or when the filter is visibly discoloured.
