Wavestream and MiniBOSS Bilge Filter Systems

Keeping our oceans and waterways clean. Wavestream ensures you never again discharge polluted bilge water overboard. Four sizes suit boats from dayboats to 35m superyachts, and for commercial vessels, MiniBOSS combines Wavestream cartridges with an IMO-certified oil content monitor.

Choose your system

Boat sizes are a guide only. If in doubt, ask your dealer or Wave International. For boats with multiple bilges or very wet bilges, 2 or more Wavestreams can be used.

How it works

Wavestream

Bilge water is pumped through the Wavestream housing and passes through the cartridge. The filter media captures and retains oils and fuel, microplastics, fibres and heavy metals, so only clean water is discharged overboard. The media can hold up to three times its own weight in oil. Fit it in the bilge pump discharge line, before the overboard outlet.

 

MiniBOSS

MiniBOSS pumps bilge water through its filter stage, where Wavestream cartridges capture oil and other pollutants. An IMO-certified oil content monitor then samples the filtered water continuously. If it meets the limit, the discharge valve opens and clean water goes overboard. If not, the alarm sounds and the water is returned to the bilge.
