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.
