I just ran new copper lines for a small sink, including a water heater. When I turned on the water a small amount came out of the faucet's cold tap, under pressure, then no more came. I took off the faucet's filter before I turned on the water. If I turn off the water, then turn it back on, the same thing happens.
I checked the filter screen in the pressure regulator and it's clean. Is there something going on internally in the PR that could be causing this? As far as I know, there isn't any blockage in the copper lines.
There's nothing else in the system except PR, WH and sink. Oh, there are taps for a washing machine, but no washing machine.
What's going on?
