Our cold water bath tap has been running slower and slower for the last couple of weeks. Today it was just trickling. Every other tap in the house is fine.
I took out the tap and changed the rubber washer, when I reinstalled it the tap wouldn't run at all. By undoing the head, water would flow at what I think is a normal rate.
I took the tap off again and had a look at the adjustment on the jumper/stem. I only managed in breaking an O ring so I though I'd ruined it completely and I don't have any spares in the house. Lo and behold, I put the tap back in again and it works perfectly.
My DIY book says that if the O rings are damaged water will bubble up through the top of the tap. I've had the water running for an hour and it's fine.
Have I just been lucky, or is impending doom on it's way and I'll wake up in the morning with a flooded bathroom?
Thanks in advance,
Darren
