Changing the Water in your Monk Nomad

We know it's tempting to tip your Nomad over, but this can damage it - please read the article below to change the water safely!

Draining your Monk Nomad

1. If using a chiller, turn it off and unplug it before draining.

2. Unscrew the ‘Water Out’ drain valve to release the water — direct it safely away from power sources or uneven ground.

3. Power sources or uneven ground.

4. If using the Monk Shiver chiller, you can use one of the water pipes to guide the water into a nearby drain. Simply connect a water pipe to the outlet valve on the bath, and disconnect it from the chiller.

5. There will be a small amount of water remaining in the bottom of the tub, which can be tipped out or removed with a small bucket. Always disconnect the lower outlet hose first when tipping out the remaining water to avoid damage.

6. Once drained, secure the draining valve back in position.

7. If refilling, simply fill over the side of the bath with a hose.

3. Use the external pump to pull all the remaining air out.
4. Do the same for the lid.
5. Carefully fold or roll them, avoiding tight bends, and place in the supplied carry bag.
