    Just though I'd stick these pictures up in case anyone else was suffering from a reduced flow from one of these smev taps.

    The end of the tap unscrews and will come apart into four fine mesh filters and a plastic jet assembly.

    I found lots of limescale trapped between all the filters so a gentle brush with a nailbrush under running water cleared all the scale out and restored full flow. :thumbsup:

    I also took the time to fill our water tank with a Milton mixture and run the sterilised water through the system to kill off any bugs.
     
    Poptop2 and paradox like this.
  2. We have a similar problem here (and also with shower heads at home).
    Alter removing the big bits I soak them in clear vinigar, which as a mild acid removes limscale deposits.
