Turret™ Floating Suction Systems
Proprietary floating suction assemblies for optimal water extraction from dams, return water facilities and marine intake.
Turret™ Floating Suction
The Turret™ is WPTS's proprietary floating suction intake system, designed to maintain optimal water extraction from dams, reservoirs and settling ponds as water levels fluctuate. Unlike fixed intake structures, the Turret™ automatically adjusts position to always draw the cleanest water from the ideal depth.
Designed and manufactured by WPTS, the Turret™ system has been deployed across mining return water dams, municipal reservoirs, agricultural farm dams and industrial settling ponds throughout Southern Africa.

Turret™ System Features
Automatic Level Tracking
The floating assembly automatically adjusts intake depth as water levels rise or fall — no manual intervention required.
Debris Screening
Integrated screen assembly prevents floating debris, vegetation and surface contaminants from entering the suction line.
Optimal Water Quality
Always draws water from the best available depth — avoiding bottom sediment and surface contamination.
Flexible Connection
Articulated or flexible pipe sections connect the floating intake to the fixed shore pipeline without restricting movement.
Custom Sizing
Built to match pump capacity and flow requirements. From small farm dam installations to large mining return water systems.
Low Maintenance
Simple mechanical design with minimal moving parts. Robust construction for long service life in harsh environments.
Where Turret™ Is Deployed
The Turret™ system is versatile across all sectors where clean water extraction from variable-level water bodies is required.
