tap questions !

[jeffdub]

fitted a smev sink and hob combi and just wondered about wiring the tap , its a microswitched tap with a brown wire and a brown with a blue trace can i wire this straight to the pump then to live and earth ? just had a play with it and it seems that the pump is constantly on whether the taps on or off have i missed something ? thanks jeff
