Self-Cleaning Pump Intake Screens

Protect pumps and water systems from surface water organics & debris
Wherever unprotected pump intakes are threatened by organic debris and other troublesome floating solids, LAKOS ISF Screens provide a continuous, intelligent defense against clogging, lost suction and pump wear. A rugged, reliable internal backwash system blows debris off of and away from the screen, allowing water to flow freely to the pump (see illustration at right).

Wide range of applications
Rivers, effluent ponds, sumps, lakes, re-use pits, streams, tanks, canals, etc.

Protects pumps
For centrifugal, turbine and submersible types:
Safeguards against damage to impellers and restricted suction/cavitation.

Energy savings
Helps maintain pump efficiency, reducing the need to pump longer to deliver required water volume. Continuously clean screen eliminates potential head/pressure loss.

Reduces maintenance
Continuous cleaning performance means no manual cleaning of stationary screens or routine system shutdowns.

Environmental protection
Low-velocity operation keeps fish, mussels, clams, etc. out of pump intakes.
Durable construction

Strong, deep-ribbed, reinforced fiberglass frame. Stainless steel end caps. Choice of corrosion-resistant stainless steel screen mesh or algae growth-inhibiting phosphor bronze screen mesh.
Flow range: 50 - 2,400 U.S. gpm (11 - 545 m³/hr) per unit
