About Us

Founded in 2016, Turtledrain began as a solution for flat roof drainage, using siphon-based flow and built-in filtration to move water efficiently without clogs or electricity. We operate under the parent company Turtledrain Solutions, headquartered in Chicago, IL, and proudly serve customers nationwide and internationally.

While originally designed for roofs, Turtledrain found an unexpected and thriving market in sports field applications, where traditional pump intakes constantly battle clogging. Thanks to our proprietary DirtGuard filter design, Turtledrain stays operational even when buried under gravel, dirt, or debris—making it ideal for ballfields, parks, and turf management.

Today, Turtledrain systems are used across industries including roofing, aquaculture, water feature filtration, commercial plumbing, and more. Our roof units utilize automatic siphon technology, while field units are often paired with pumps—though they can operate via siphon as well.

Whether you're draining a flat roof, clearing a flooded field, or filtering a koi pond, Turtledrain delivers clog-resistant, low-maintenance solutions built to last.
