Love is in the air


ON•TAP is a romantic at heart. That's why this Valentines Day, we are offering the Hansgrohe Croma 1 Jet Shower Rose at a lovely price (for that very special someone). With features that include a massage function, you surely can't go wrong!

The Hansgrohe Croma Jet also incorporates an air-injection technology (that was made popular by Hansgrohe's Raindance Shower Range). This softens the droplets that spray through Hansgrohe Croma's 40 spray channels, allowing the droplets to gently coat the bathers skin instead of bouncing off with a stinging, needle-like spray.

Now think about it, wouldn't this be the perfect rose to give her this Valentines Day?

It is sad to say goodbye

Koos du Plessis, better known to us and others in the industry as Oom Dupie, passed away on the morning of 1 February 2011.

He was everyone's favourite, and enjoyed the spotlight among suppliers and customers alike. Oom Dupie formed an integral part of ON•TAP Jeffreys Bay. He was a man of great dignity with very high standards.

Oom Dupie, we miss you already!

ON•TAP supports IOPSA in promoting registered plumbing practices


Recent media coverage has shown that consumers worry about the quality of plumbers in South Africa. It is frightening to acknowledge that many so-called plumbers actually don't have qualifications or experience, which tarnishes the reputation of professional plumbers that do. What’s more is that consumers are still being tricked into receiving substandard service from plumbers with a total disregard for plumbing standards. In most cases, the consumer only discovers the faults many years later, which is a concern for health and safety hazards. So how do we, as South Africans, know if the plumber we hire is qualified and registered or not?

In keeping with the proposed new labour regulations, the Water Services Act, and the requirements of local authorities, ON•TAP together with IOPSA and other parties commissioned the establishment of the Plumbing Industry Registration Board (PIRB).

The PIRB has rolled out a comprehensive registration system for all plumbers to sign up for. If your plumber is registered with the PIRB, then you know that his/her performance has been monitored to ensure plumbing practices that protect the health and safety of the community.

With ON•TAP’s experience as a merchant to supply the plumbing industry and IOPSA’s governance of ethics, the PIRB aims to raise the standards of plumbing in the public interest, as well as improve the consensus of plumbers and plumbing in South Africa.

Thanks to this initiative, more metropolitans, local authorities and insurance companies require that only qualified PIRB plumbers are allowed to do plumbing works within their jurisdiction. We urge that all consumers need to be informed about the PIRB so that they can request to see their plumbers PIRB Registration Certificate before proceeding with the job.
