There are two types of LAKOS Separators for homeowners: Above Ground and Below Ground. Both of these types of Separators work the exact same way: Removing dirt by rapidly spinning water, also known as centrifugal action.

LAKOS Above Ground Separators include the SMP – SandMaster and the ILB and ILS Inline Separators. These Separators are installed AFTER the well water pump and typically before the systems pressure tank. Their primary purpose is to stop sand from reaching downstream equipment such as the pressure tank, faucets, shower heads, drip lines, and other equipment.

LAKOS Below Ground Separators include the SUB-K well water Pump Protection Separators. This Separator is installed BEFORE the well water pump – inside the water well attached directly to the pump. Their primary purpose is to protect the turbine/submersible pump impellers from sand damage and extend the life of the pump and water well.

Problem: Sand in your ice maker, showerheads, clothes washer, faucets, and other water appliances.

Solution: The SandMaster from LAKOS is uniquely designed to remove unwanted sand from your residential water supply.

Problem: Hard water scale is building up and causing damage to my appliances and plumbing system.

Solution: Stop and reverse the effects of scale buildup by installing a Superior R-Series Water Conditioner. The Superior Water Conditioner is a chemical-free water treatment technology designed to protect systems and appliances against lime/scale build-up and corrosion. Water that goes through the Superior unit is subjected to alternating, permanent magnetic fields that changes the scale-forming characteristics by altering their ionic charge. Instead of being attracted to one another, the molecules repel each other as they precipitate out of the water as aragonite (an amorphous mud-like or powdery form).
