PC - Self-Cleaning Intake Screen - LAKOS Filtration Solutions

LAKOS Self-Cleaning Pump Intake Screens protect pumps and other water system components from algae, leaves, moss, sticks, and other troublesome organics and debris. Providing a continuous defense against impeller clogging, lost suction, and other pump wear. Designed for use in open source surface water applications such as lakes, rivers, ponds, reservoirs, canals, irrigation ditches, etc. Rugged and reliable internal backwash system blows debris off and away from the screen, allowing water to flow freely to the pump intake. Better than stationary screens, which waste time and energy due to repeated clogging. Save energy, end routine maintenance, and protect the environment with LAKOS PC Self-Cleaning Pump Intake Screens.

Previously known as the “Plum Creek Intake Screen”

Flow Range: 50 – 2,400 U.S. GPM (11 – 545 m³/hr)
Mesh Size Options: 9, 10, 18 and 30

Energy Savings

The continuously clean screens eliminate potential head/loss pressure and minimize pump energy usage.

No Maintenance

No manual cleaning of stationary screens, or routine system shutdowns.

Environmentally Friendly

Low-velocity operation keeps fish, mussels and clams out of pump intakes, preserving natural surroundings.

Wide Range of Applications

LAKOS PC screens fit natural and man-made bodies of water, including both static and moving water. Unique solutions for wet wells, side channels and enclosed intakes are available. For centrifugal pumps, short-coupled turbines and VFD’s Flow velocities to match fish protection specifications.

How It Works

LAKOS self-cleaning PC Screens offer continuous pump protection without the worry of routine maintenance. The internal backwash system blows debris off and away from the screen, allowing water to flow freely to the pump intake. Other screen filters stay in place, wasting time and energy due to repeated clogging.
