LAKOS - Model SUB-K -Separators For Submersible Pumps
Dramatically extend submersible pump life, save energy, and remove sand from well water with the LAKOS SUB-K pump protection separators. Using patented centrifugal action, troublesome sand is removed from the water before it can enter the pump, damage impellers, and go downstream to your house or ranch. Trouble-free and effective, LAKOS Sub-k separators are easy to install into water wells as small as 4 inches I.D. Flow Range: 3-99 GPM (.7 – 23 m3/hr).

- Extends your pump’s life by four times or more
- Reduces sand wear
- Minimizes breakdowns and replacements
- No moving parts that can wear out, No screens to replace, and No routine maintenance
- Reduces downstream filtration burden
Starting with protection at the source, you can expect increased pump efficiency, reduced sand wear and tear on pump components, and an overall reduction in energy consumption.
LAKOS Pump Protection Separators prevent sand from entering submersible or turbine pumps, by removing sand from well water through centrifugal action.
- Identify your wells inner diameter.
- Find your pump’s flow range.
- The best fit model is in the middle of the range. DO NOT OVERSIZE.
- Verify your wells depth, water level, and pump depth.
- Verify your pump and motors dimensions (length and width).
Using the same operating principles as the larger PPS, SUB-K Separators apply controlled centrifugal action to prevent sand from entering the pump, reducing wear to impellers and other vital components.
- Sandy Water is first drawn through the tangential inlet slots of the Sub-K
- Sand is centrifugally separated from the water and is spun to the outer barrel of the separator
- The sand-free water is drawn to the center of the separator and up through the vortex to the pump’s intake
- The separated sand then falls downward to the bottom of the separator where it collects
- Periodically, the flapper valve on the Sub-K opens to discharge accumulated particles deep into the well
For submersible and turbine pumps over 100 GPM, refer to the PPS.
