Reply with quote Thanks

Guys my bathroom mixer tap has recently started causing me some problems. First of all my cold water went from good pressure to barely a trickle in a relatively short period of time. I suspected a washer or something broken inside the tap, unable to turn the supply off i simply loosened the valve thing slightly and the water flowed ok again.. within a couple of days the same problem has moved over to my hot tap.
I dont know how to turn the supply to both hot and cold off at the same time so your assistance would be greatly appreciated along with any suggestions as to what may be the cause of the poor pressure... best regards and thanks Mick

Hi

Sounds like a blockage in the tap body that began in the cold feed.

Turning off hot and cold water will depend on what type of h/w system you have. More info on this please.

Hope this helps
