Turn both the hot and cold water off,
Thanks for the reply Harry.Turn both the hot and cold water off, remove the both tap insert cartridges from the taps and leave them in a dish of citric acid solution to soak. Whilst soaking, work the taps back and forth a few times. Citric acid is available from Wilko and many other places, quite cheaply.
Must admit, I had to read it twice before realising what i should do.using the isolation valves and/or stop cocks.
Maybe obvious but I know of two people who turned the taps OFF and dismantled the taps.
Thanks for the reply Harry.
Probably sound's like a stupid question, but how do you remove the cartridges? Regards Doug
I have now identified the tap, it's a Lamona roya one. I have also found instructions to take it apart. If the citric acid doesn't work apart from replacing the cartridge, is there anything else I should buy. Like washers etc.
It's only 4 years old, but am I likely to have difficulty taking it apart. Cheers Doug
