ApplicAtion

LAKOS SUB-K Series Separators are engineered for the removal of sand and other heavy, suspended particles

from domestic and private water well systems with flow rates of 3 - 99 U.S. gpm (.7 - 23 m

/hr) and well I.D.’s

of 5 inches or larger.

operAtion

When the pump is operating, sandy water is drawn first through the SUB-K Separator’s inlet slots. Centrifugal

action separates the sand, causing the particles to gently fall to the bottom of the separator. The SUB-K’s

“flapper valve” remains closed while the pump is in operation. The sand-free water spirals upward, through the

center vortex/outlet, into the pump enclosure shell and to the pump. When the pump shuts off, the SUB-K’s

flapper valve will open, allowing accumulated sand to discharge deep into the well. NOTE: To assure adequate

purging of separated particles, SUB-K Separators must be installed on water systems that operate at least

somewhat intermittently, typically for no more than two continuous hours. This time may vary, depending on the

concentration of sand in the well.
