Cold water in bathroom

[mishy]

The pressure in our cold water in the bathroom went yesterday. Turned on tap and brown water came out and then pressure went. Hot water working ok and pressure in kitchen hasnt been affected. Does anyone know what could cause this? Thanks

Are both hot and cold fed from tanks or is the hot direct from water heater?

 

[mishy]

from a tank

Iron pipes going rusty and blocking up?

 

[Rob]

Possibly that the tank level got really low hense the brown water and now something is blocking the cold feed to taps. Have you had a look at the tank?

Check that bath cold is not on a seperate feed cold tank and the ball valve has stuck up so it has emptied, but the hot is still full so working.
