About this product

How it works

Bilge water is pumped through the Wavestream housing and passes through the cartridge. The filter media captures and retains pollutants, so only clean water is discharged overboard. The media can hold up to three times its own weight in oil, and the low operating pressure means it suits most bilge pumps.

What it removes

  • Oils and fuel
  • Grease
  • Microplastics and microfibres
  • Heavy metals
The clear bowl lets you see when the cartridge is working. Debris and fibres collect at the base of the filter.

Where to install it

Fit it in the bilge pump discharge line, before the overboard outlet, so everything leaving the boat passes through it. Use the stainless steel bracket supplied to mount it securely. For boats with multiple bilges or very wet bilges, use two or more Wavestreams.

Suitable boat sizes

Wavestream Micro System is designed for dayboats under 10m. Boat sizes are a guide only. If in doubt, ask your dealer or Wave International.

Installation

Wavestream is simple to install and the tools you need are supplied. Mount the bracket, connect the inlet and outlet hoses (hose tails are optional), and check the flow direction marked on the housing. Stainless steel housing options are available for light commercial use.

Replacement cartridges

Replacement cartridges are low cost and easy to change. Order cartridge WS-CM for the WMS.
