Profile: Lakos Separators and Filtration Systems manufacture several products designed specifically for cooling tower applications such as basin cleaning, side stream protection, full stream protection, heat exchanger protection and heat pump protection. Our backwash reduction system is a separator specifically designed as a pre-filter for sand media filters. It filters troublesome and settable particles prior to the sand filter system. This system saves water by preventing excessive backwashing. It is connected to all existing sand media filters. Stainless steel sand media filtration systems are designed for the removal of small particles, organics, and floating contaminants to protect drip and micro-irrigation systems. Sand media tanks are engineered for the demands of applications on cooling towers, as well as open and closed loop system operations, down to 5-10 micron performance range as standard. They are used for cooling tower filtration as well as open and closed loop HVAC systems. These help to remove particles and floating debris.
