INSTALLATION
1. Apply a small amount of non-petroleum lubricant to the rubber seal (K) on the SUB-K’s Pump
Enclosure Shell.
2. Slide the Pump Enclosure Shell (D) over the submersible pump suction screen (C). A notch (J) is provided
on the rubber seal to accommodate the pump’s drop-wire shield (B). If necessary, trim the rubber seal or cut
away the drop-wire shield 4 inches (102 mm) up from the submersible pump suction screen (C).
3. Tighten the rubber seal around the pump using the large, stainless steel adjustable clamp (H) at a point
4 inches (102 mm) above the pump’s suction (A).

level: 30 feet (9.2 m)
(F)
Recommended
minimum clearance
to bottom of well:
20 feet (6.1 m)
Sand accumulates above
the LAKOS Separator’s
flexible “Flapper Valve” until

4. The SUB-K Separator (E) can now be
attached onto the bottom of the Pump
Enclosure Shell. Use the self-tapping screws
for Model SUB-99-6-K or threaded
connections for all other SUB-K models.
5. Lower the pump and SUB-K unit into the well
to a depth that allows the Separator to be
submerged at least 30 feet (9.2 m) below the
pumping water level (G) and at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) above the bottom of the well (F).
6. Run water system in the normal manner. The
LAKOS SUB-K Separator will operate from
the flow of the water and will require no
routine maintenance.
