On Tap is lucky to have continuous product training from our suppliers like Ecowater and MiniMax from Harvey Softeners.
We are not just satisfied with product training and have instigated our own in house electrical training and even have our own electrical apprentice.
Keith Buck a local electrical trainer has held training sessions specifically tailored for our needs.
Phil (right) gets a lesson on the correct way to wire armoured cable from Keith Buck.
Where a pump may have to installed away from the main building either in a well or borehole then we would need to make sure the cable is safely buried and protected from accidental damage. Regulations demand the use of an armoured SWA cable.
Careful consideration is also required with regard to loading and voltage drop caused by excessive distances.
On Tap will take all this in their stride.

Congratulations!
Our Accounts supervisor, Donna Culliford, has now achieved her fellowship from The Association of Accounting Technicians.
She even got her picture in one of their brochures, well done.
She certainly keeps us on the straight and narrow, always to the penny.

On Tap’s Rapid response.
When a local school partly burnt down it lost it’s water treatment and pumping system the only option seemed closure. On Tap were able to give a rapid response and worked with the contractors to install a temporary water storage, treatment and pumping system, in record time. All the equipment required was held in stock at Somerton and was installed quickly to allow the school to reopen.
Next thing we need is a water bowser so that we can deliver water to properties who run low.

It’s been very dry!
Despite the forecast most people are unaware just how dry it has been unless they are farmers or people on their own private supply.
We are getting an increasing number of customers who are getting worried about low water levels in shallow wells, common in the south west of England. On Tap has been able to improve matters by increasing water storage to take advantage of the supply over 24 hours or by introducing water from rainwater systems or rivers and streams.
We are also able to advise on whether a bore hole is a viable option subject to geological information and can organise the whole project from divining and drilling to pumping and treatment.
Don’t waste time looking for water at the bottom of your well, call On Tap Water Treatment from Somerton on

Proudly keeping it local.
Well at least some parts of one of our top selling products is made in Somerset.
Avalon Plastics was able to offer the accuracy needed to satisfy ‘Harvey Softeners’ strict quality control and won the contract to supply the main brine cabinet for our MiniMax M2 water softener.

A bit of a case study here where we were called to a customer who was having problems with a traditional 2 pump booster set. Despite checking out all the pressure switches and connections there were still problems.
The complex traditional relay panel was giving problems which resulted in the pumps either not starting or not stopping.
We were able to offer the latest dual variable speed booster set as a quick and simple alternative. The 4HM9 pumps were available from stock and the customer was soon back with a reliable water supply.
Connection couldn’t be simpler, just plug into the mains and away they go. To see a complete system look at our page on Booster pumps. The pumps are controlled by varying their speed to control the pressure at the desired setting. The pumps are linked by a signal cable which allows the 2 pumps to communicate and respond to varying water flow demand.
The controllers also have a connection for a low level switch to protect the pumps from dry running.

Welcome to a new member of our team:
Pump specialist Mike Lock has now joined us and is tasked with looking after all our pump customers.
His background in the pumping industry brings a wealth of experience to ‘On Tap’ and has strengthened our rapidly developing pump business.

Happy New Year 2011
A very Happy New Year to one and all.
We hope everyone has survived the freezing conditions. Despite this being the coldest period on record and some of our customers reporting temperatures as low as minus 14C, frost damage has been minimal.
All pumping and water treatment equipment requires insulation, if in doubt about the standard of protection around your plant we will be pleased to advise.
Christmas 2010
A very Merry Christmas to all our friends and customers from a very snowy Somerton.
A big thank you for all your support during the last year which has meant we have been able to make a £500 donation to WaterAid, our favourite charity.

October 2010
We had a busy show season and have been kept busy through the summer helping a variety of customers solve some very different problems from hard water to no water. Bore holes and the re-juvernation of old wells has become an increasing part of our work.
