Specialised Systems
Turret™ Floating Suction Systems
Wetpipe is the authorised Turret™ seller for Southern Africa and a certified Turret™ installer — we supply, integrate and commission systems for dams, settling ponds and return water facilities.
The Problem
Intake Too High
Pump intake positioned too high causes vortexing - air bubbles enter the pump and implode, leading to cavitation, impeller damage and costly downtime.
The Problem
Intake Too Low
Intake set too deep ingests tailings and silt from the pond floor - blown seals, pump damage and contaminated process water are the result.
The Solution
Turret™ Floats With the Water
The Turret™ device floats on the surface, drawing water from just below - eliminating vortexing and keeping the intake away from settled tailings at any water level.
Applications
Dam water extraction
Turret™ installation
Mining return water systems
Industrial settling ponds
Authorised Turret™ seller for Southern Africa and certified installer. Contact Wetpipe for supply and installation.
