The use of a sand filter (separator) may save you money over time by possibly extending the life of your regular water filters, water heaters and other water-using appliances. They may also prevent sand from depositing in your plumbing lines. Lakos is a leader in the sand filtration industry.
Centrifugal-Action Sand Separators
These sand separators feature:
Ideally suited for small system applications, side-stream installations and individual equipment protection
Removes sand, grit and other fine solids from source of process water/liquid systems, removing 98% of such particles 200 mesh (74 microns) and larger
With heavier solids (metal chips, lead, etc.), expect even better results
Unique centrifugal style of filtration is not only efficient, but also trouble-free, boasting these standard features: no moving parts to wear out, no screens, cartridges, cones or filter elements to clean or replace, no backflushing, no downtime requirements, low pressure loss, and available in two standard materials of construction (carbon steel or stainless steel)
Available in flow range 3-290 gpm, maximum standard pressure rating 150 psi
ILB Series - CARBON STEEL Separators (3/4" NPT male purge)
ILS Series - STAINLESS STEEL Separators (3/4" NPT male purge)
