Onga Pumps price Increase
Pentair Water announcement.Onga have indicated that prices on their entire pump range will increase in the “near future” by as much as 10%.
This is purely as an impact of the rising cost of petroleum product both in the area of freight costs and plastics raw material.
To quote Steve Brooks, Pentair’s Managing Director;
<quote>
We’ve (Onga) been trying to hold back increasing our prices, but unfortunately we cannot continue to absorb the heavy increases that we’ve had to bear in the last few months. This letter is to advise you that we will increase our prices by up to 10% and the formal announcement is only a few weeks away. The increase in prices is due to the direct increase in cost of materials, manufacturing and freight.

Once again this will have an impact on our advertised specials.

Kermandie Kick On:After seasons of disappointment Kermandie finally made it through to the SFL Regional Grand Final next week.
In what was described as a bone jarringly ugly preliminary final Kermandie got up over the Huonville Lions at Cygnet on Saturday.
The Kermandie midfield of Todd Pepper, Jamie Kaye and Anthony Baker sparked the Robins running game all afternoon and combined well with ruckman Andrew Nash to book their Grand Final place, winning 14.13 (97) to 12.6 (78)
Well done to Anthony and his team mates and good luck next week
