Section 1.Introduction
1.1 Important
It is important to us that this product works as advertised and that you enjoy the extra peace of
mind that Wavebrite™ offers by protecting the environment. If you have any queries that can
not be answered by your supplier or engineer, please contact us direct on [phone]
or e-mail [e-mail] or [e-mail]
1.2 What it does
The Wavebrite™ grey water filter system removes contaminants from waste water which is
pumped through the system before discharge overboard or being reused. Grey waste water is
generally produced by showers, hand basins and washing machines. The system is controlled
by a float switch located in the WHALE GREYWASTE WATER SUMP which switches the pump
on and off. This filter system is designed to remove contaminants from grey water, if galley
waste is put throughthe system cartridge life could be drastically reduced.
Wavebrite™ is designed for used in all sizes of boat and can easily be scaled up for larger boats
and Superyachts. The Wavebrite filter modules can be installed in multiples in parallel if the flow
rate and contamination level is high. Differential pressure indicates when the filters and main
Wavebrite™ filter module need changing, see Section 1.4 Check with Wave International
technical department if in doubt.
As an additional feature, a Gulper Pump from Whale (not supplied) can be installed to the
WHALE GREY WASTE WATER SUMP to provide direct pump out should it be required in areas
where it is permitted.
Galley waste water should be directed to the black water system due to the food waste
content and if directed to the Wavebrite system it may significantly reduce cartridge life. A
further FILTER/STRAINER could be installed under sink to help prevent galley waste going to
the WHALE GREY WASTE WATER SUMP and the Wavebrite system if required.
CAUTION
This filter system is
designed to remove
contaminants from
grey water, if galley
waste is put through
the system cartridge
life could be
drastically reduced.

1.4 Before you begin
Before you start, please read through these instructions carefully. Fitting Wavebrite™ involves:
Cutting in to a section of flexible hose or grey waste water discharge pipe. Making electrical
connections.
Installing Wavebrite™ into the grey waste water discharge system usually using hose tails and
clamps, it may also require screwing into a threaded section of pipe or using flanged and bolted
fittings which are not supplied. Electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrical
installer with reference to the electrical equipment suppliers instructions.
Mounting the Wavebrite™ filter module, pre-filters, pump strainer, pump and grey waste water
sump by bolting or screwing the mounting brackets to a solid fixing point.
The position you mount the Wavebrite™ filter module, pre-filters and pump filter/strainer in must
allow for cartridge replacement. Do not mount in direct sunlight.
Some consideration must be given at this time to location of the components, the
following all affect pump performance:
Suctionhoselengthbetween the pump strainer, grey waste sumpand thepump. Iftoolongthis can
reduce pump performance.
Hose diameter and type, correct hose is supplied from the WHALE GREYWASTE WATER
SUMP.
Discharge head from the pump should be less than 1000 mm
Angles and fittings in hoses all cause a reduction in pump efficiency.
The shorter the pipe runs to and from the WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE with no extra
fittings such as elbows and bends, the better the system will perform. Always check with the
Wave International Technical Department if in doubt.

Section 5. Installing the Components
Fitting Wavebrite™. See Fig 1.
Locate a suitable position, refer to Section 1.4 and Fig.1, Note the Wavebrite™ system is
modular and each component and can be fitted remotely. Fix the mounting brackets and saddle
clamps. The FILTER/STRAINER 1 will require the most attention and should be installed where
it can be easily monitored visually and can be accessed with ease.
Attach the filter housings to the mounting brackets using the screws provided; ensuring the flow
direction is correct; there are arrows on the top filter housings and on theWHALE UNIVERSAL
WATER PUMP. The arrows must point in the direction of flow from the WHALEGREY WASTE
WATER SUMP towards the WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE. The flow direction through the
WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE is left to right, but this can be changed by reversing the
WAVEBRITE WB1 CARTRIDGE in the WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE housing if required,
note flow direction arrow on WAVEBRITE WB1 CARTRIDGE.
Connect from the exit of Filter Strainer 1 to the pump and all the filters to the WAVEBRITE™
FILTER MODULE with the 15mm hose supplied, quick connect fittings are supplied. See the
Whale Pipe Fitting Guide supplied in the information pack.
The WHALE GREY WASTER WATER SUMP should be located so the head to the pump is no
more than 1000mm and the required pipe connections must be pre-drilled. The grey water
supply, such as from showers and basins are to go to the top connections, no hose or hose clips
are supplied for this. Connect from the lower 25mm connection to the Filter Strainer 1 using the
25mm flexible braided hose, 2 no. hose clips should be used on each end, these are supplied.
Galley waste water should be directed to the black water system due to the food waste
content and if directed to the Wavebrite system it may significantly reduce cartridge life.
A filter/strainer (not supplied) could be installed under sink to help prevent galley waste going to
the WHALE GREY WASTE WATER SUMP and the Wavebrite system if required.
It is required to have enough space below the filter units (25mm) to remove the filter bowls when
changing cartridges and at one end of the WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE (660mm) check
the system specifications at Section 4 above.
Install the Tees and pressure gauges using thread tape.
Make the electrical connections to the pump, hour meter and WHALE GREYWASTER WATER
SUMP as per the instructions supplied with the electrical components and to required safety
standards. Locate the hour meter in a panel or an appropriate position. All electrical connections

Section 6. Cartridge Replacement
IMPORTANT. Before replacing the cartridges ensure the pump is switched off and there
is no pressure in the system.
FILTER/STRAINER 1 (100 MICRON) screen requires cleaning periodically and should be
part of a regular maintenance schedule. If the strainer becomes blocked pump performance
will be significantly reduced and cause the flow in the complete system to drop.
The filter cartridge in FILTER 2 (5 MICRON) requires changing when the differential
pressure between gauges PG1 & PG2 reaches 2 bar during pumping.
The filter cartridge in FILTER 3 (0.5 MICRON) requires changing when the differential
pressure between gauges PG2 & PG3 reaches 2 bar during pumping.
When replacing the filter bowls hand tighten only.
Ensure the pump is switched off.
Unscrew the filter bowl and pour the excess water remaining in the bowl back in to the grey or
black water system. Plastic spanners can be supplied and should only be used to remove the
filter bowls they should be replaced by hand and only hand tight.
The WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE requires changing after 20 hours of operation. Also
change if pressure gauge PG3 reaches 4 bar during pumping. It is opened by removing the
plastic circular clip releasing the end cap which can then be removed allowing the removal of
the WAVEBRITE™WB1 CARTRIDGE
Remove the saturated cartridges placing them in a suitable receptacle for onward disposal.
Check the ‘O’ rings on the outside and inside of the end cap are in good condition.
Locate new cartridge in the WAVEBRITE™ FILTER MODULE and replace end cap securely.
Turn on the pump by running water into the grey water system and bleed any air from the filter
housings using the bleed button, check for any leaks.
