46 PROJECT 46 PROJECT Crime prevention starts with a hot doggie bath The Stiebel Eltron Integrated Heat Pump (WWK 302 H) product and high-quality workmanship (installation) from Rivers Projects and Plumbing were donated to the Tshwane Municipal Police Department (TMPD) K-9 Dog Unit via a donation by Plumb-it Online in Centurion. By Eamonn Ryan Managing director of Rivers Projects & Plumbing Services, Frank Crisafulli, says, “The TMPD sent out a request asking for the Tshwane community to support their K-9 unit with products – due to them being a non-profit organisation, and this was picked up by Plumb-it Online who supplied the Stiebel Eltron Integrated Heat pump including the fittings and piping required.” The K-9 unit looms large in urban policing, being responsible, after four to five months of intensive training, for crowd control, narcotics detection and even bomb detection. However, their accommodation north of Pretoria had no access to hot water, which meant the dogs had to be washed with cold water. When In response, Rivers Plumbing installed a 300ℓ Stiebel Eltron heat pump at the TMPD K-9 Unit – one of many CSI initiatives it undertakes with its various partners such as, in this instance, Stiebel Eltron and Plumb- it Online, supplier of taps, sanitaryware, heating systems and more. Plumb-it Online is celebrating 21 years and have lots of in-store and online promotions.
