Protect Pumps From Sand – Remove Sand From Well Water

Broken impellers from sand

How LAKOS Pump Protection Separators Work

  1. Sandy Water is drawn through the tangential inlet slots of the PPS
  2. Sand is centrifugally separated from the water and is spun to the outer barrel of the separator
  3. The sand-free water is drawn to the center of the separator and up through the vortex to the pump’s intake
  4. The sand then falls downward to the bottom of the separator
  5. Periodically, the flapper valve on the PPS opens to discharge accumulated particles deep into the well

How to Size a Pump Protection Separator

  1. Identify your wells inner diameter.
  2. Find your pump’s flow range.
    1. The best fit model is in the middle of the range. DO NOT OVERSIZE.
  3. Verify your wells depth, water level, and pump depth.
  4. Verify your pump and motors dimensions (length and width).
