have a kitchen mixer (Bristan I think) installed abt 5yrs ago.
recently cold water flow has been reducing (hot fine 3bar!). This
morning cold is only a trickle - hot still fine.....
(both h&c supplied by a 3bar pump, rest of house unaffected)
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!

well just investigated further and decided to try and backflush any
crap back from tap and then out of a wash/mc tap on same leg of
pipework....took a few goes but something moved....
However when flushing the wm tap with full pressure cold supply
restored all was going well til I heard and felt *something" in the
pipe *move* and reduce the flow to the wm tap?? WTF is in there? and
how to get it out?!
Cheers
