have a kitchen mixer (Bristan I think) installed abt 5yrs ago.
recently cold water flow has been reducing (hot fine 3bar!). This

Had a quick google most 1/4 turn queries are about dripping etc -
anyone had this low/no flow prob before? any pointers where I'm
heading? new cartridge? something else?


thanks for any tips

Is there a mesh filter somewhere that has got clogged? I had
something similar and found that there was a mesh filter on the tap
inlet clogged with little bits of bosswhite fro ma job elsewhere in
the house!
