CE Bilge Discharge Filter
Your boat may be equipped with a CE-compliant bilge discharge
filter system that is designed to prevent oil-contaminated bilge from
being discharged into the environment. One CE bilge filter is
required for each bilge pump. The CE bilge filter is located below
the deck, connected to the bilge discharge hose just before the
hose connection to the deck outlet fitting.
CE bilge discharge filter cartridge XOil™ replacement should be
part of a regular maintenance program to prevent oily,
contaminated bilge from passing through the deck outlet fitting
into the environment. The period between cartridge replacements
will depend on the condition of the bilge. Always replace the
cartridge immediately after there has been a great amount of oil or
other contaminants spilled into the bilge.
Cartridge Replacement
1. Turn off power to the bilge pump.
2. Unscrew the filter bowl (A) by
turning counterclockwise and pour
any excess bilge water remaining in
the bowl back into the bilge.
3. Remove the used cartridge (B) and
dispose of in a suitable container.
4. Inspect the O-ring (C) located on
top of the bowl and replace if worn.
5. Be sure that the seals located on the
top and bottom of new cartridge are
in place and correctly aligned.
6. Place the new cartridge into the
bowl and reattach the bowl to the
filter housing (D) by turning
clockwise.
7. Turn on power to the bilge pump.
8. Turn on the bilge pump and inspect all connections for leaks.
9. Bleed any air trapped in the housing by using the bleed button
(F) or, if so equipped, the bleed screw (E). Both are located on
top of the filter housing.
