Suddenly no water pressure???

[Alan Cordt]

Hi everyone i wonder if you could help me!

I was on a job today changing a bathroom suite & after taking everything out i put isolation flexi tap connectors on all tails and re connected the toilet.

I turned the water back on ( from the mains as neither gate valve in the airing cupboard would isolate the water so had to drain down the CWSC ) but since turning the water back on there is a real lack of water. The CWSC has filled up fine no problem.

I opened up both the cold water on the flexi hoses and the water comes out but not as it did before i took the old suite out it just trickles out & as far as the new toilet cistern filling up it looks like it is going to take about 3 days to fill!!!!

What could be the problem???

Ps the hot is running fine and could this be some sort of blockage from draining system down and what are my choices??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

well, have you checked all the obviuos causes?.

how longs a piece of string from the middle left?

Have you kinked the flexi by accident reducing the flow?

might be an airlock - also worth checking the wc fill vale as some require mains pressure to work ok.

most likely cause is an air lock
