Caring for your Monk Shiver Chiller

Weekly Filter Clean

Keep your Monk Shiver running at peak performance with a weekly filter rinse:

1. Switch off the chiller.
2. Close the inlet and outlet valves on the back of the chiller.
3. Use the supplied Monk wrench to unscrew and release the filter.
4. Rinse under clean water to remove any debris.
5. Reinsert and tighten with the wrench until secure.
6. Re-open the inlet and outlet valves.

Draining Your Chiller

If unused for a long period, or if temperatures drop below 1°C, drain fully to protect the pump and prevent freezing and stagnant water.

Changing the Water

The frequency at which your water needs changing depends on a number of factors, such as the frequency of plunges in your household. Keep an eye on the water clarity and change the water as soon as you notice it becoming cloudy. This will help to prevent build-up in your Shiver and ensure that it continues operating smoothly. 

We recommend showering before you plunge to eliminate as much oil or sweat entering the bath as possible.
