My OWS onboard keep showing high ppm, and I have clean the system and change filters, but the system just keeps circulating, from bilge to sludge tank, without discharging overboard but the content of the bilge tank is mopping water, what is the course of the high ppm and how will I solve the problem

I used to be intimidated by my OWS , after my own slow learning curve and many hours of frustration trying to trouble shoot the problems I now understand it well. I have read all I can on how they work, how to PROPERLY operate it and service it as needed..in fact during this layover I just remouved the whole unit stripped it completely , inspected every piece ,cleaned every bore and even had it painted professionally , fitted new filters gauges etc etc and it is running as it should. ABS annual survey passed with compliments.. just dedicate yourself to learning all you can about your model,and don’t be afraid to slowly allow yourself to work on it and fully understand it. Cheers !
