ON•TAP Annual Conference 2009

The key players from ON•TAP Plumbing Supplies gathered just about 5 km outside Stellenbosch, to escape the hustle and bustle of their busy schedules and attend The Annual ON•TAP Conference - held at the tranquil Devonvale Golf Estate. This commenced on Friday the 6th of February.

The Conference proved to be an enjoyable success, as motivational speaker, Michael Jackson, started the conference with an inspirational presentation, entitled "The challenge of change."

An Award Ceremony was hosted to acknowledge the hard work of the individuals involved with ON•TAP, so handshakes and smiles were at the order of the day. More on this to follow.

The Conference also provided extramural activities, such as golf, wine tasting and cycling - to keep the hearts and minds refreshed. The ON•TAP Annual Conference was concluded on Sunday the 8th of February.

An ON•TAP customer is a satisfied customer

A satisfied customer recently e-mailed us, because they were so impressed by the excellent service ON•TAP Edenvale had to offer. This led them to buy all the plumbing accessories they needed to renovate their old-fashioned bathroom into a modern wet room, from ON•TAP Edenvale.

The satisfied ON•TAP customer was pleasantly surprised to find that even though ON•TAP Edenvale has been open a few months, the consultants had excellent product knowledge and plumbing know-how. ON•TAP Edenvale's expert advice helped the customer to make the right choice from the wide selection of top quality products that was on offer.

The satisfied customer was helped to purchase the shower, taps and basin, and said that they'd definitely return to ON•TAP for the sanitary ware, as well as future plumbing needs. Now you might ask yourself,

"What on earth is a wet room?"

Well, simply put: it is a bathroom, where the shower area is level with the surrounding floor. It's like having a walk-in shower.

You can turn your old-fashioned bathroom
into a very sleek finished, modern wet room.

We'll let you in on a few secrets...
  • Water-resistant cement-based coatings are fancied above the traditionally used ceramic type tiles.
  • Wall-mounted basins and water closets give the bathroom a spacious feel.
  • Built-in flush-fitting systems will allow your bathroom the neat and sleek finish that you desire.
  • Dual flush-systems save water and are easy to maintain.

When it comes to renovating a bathroom into a wet room, you must know what you want and how you plan on doing it. We suggest you visit your nearest ON•TAP branch for expert advice.
