Adding a filter to the bilge pump circuit prevents oil, micro-debris, or fuel residues from being discharged into the sea. WaveStream systems use a cartridge that traps these contaminants before the water pumped overboard.
However, their effectiveness depends on regular replacement, which is difficult to anticipate without a reliable indicator. This is where an intelligent bilge pump management system becomes an invaluable tool. By accurately measuring the pump’s operating time, such a module allows you to plan filter replacement at the right time, neither too early nor too late. It’s a simple way to improve the quality of bilge water discharge while avoiding pump overload. We’ll be taking a closer look at WaveStream filters in more detail in our Forever Green issue, as their environmental benefits warrant highlighting in more detail.
