Hi
I just had two new taps installed on my kitchen sink, the plumber said they were of the make "Deva". I noticed something odd about them though - when you leave them running they will gradually reduce the flow rate until they eventually practically stop. This happens only if the tap is on at a not too high rate - sometimes when you are preparing food you want the tap running continuously at a low rate.
My question is - is this the normal way for a tap to function these days? For example to save on water usage ie reduce water wastage.
Previously I have never noticed this happening with any tap. Does anybody have the same thing happening with their taps?
Or could there be something wrong with these taps?
These are two separate hot and cold taps and have cross-headed handles, and this happens with both of them. The water is not closed off completely, but just down to a very small dribble.
Thanks for any advice.
