LAKOS Sand Media Filtration
Systems are designed for
use with drip/micro irrigation
systemstokeepunwanted
particle matter out of the
irrigation system. Media
ltrationisrecommended
when the contaminants are
lightweight in nature, such as
algae, organics, silt, etc. For
heavy sand particles, which
maynotbackwashduring
normal operation, consider a
LAKOS Centrifugal Separator
asapre-ltertopreventexcess
accumulation of sand particles
on the sand media. (e.g. IHB
Separator, BRS, to name two
options)
