    Hi

    Wonder if anyone might be able to help me. My cold water tank won't fill properly. the mains tap has normal pressure. I removed the ballcock in the attic and the inflow pipe pressure is really low, barely a trickle really.

    Any ideas how to fix it?

    Thanks for any help!

    I know they were doing a lot of work on the mains in the area, it's possible the pressure was reduced. Is there any improvement today?

    Also if they were working on the mains in the area, there is an increased chance of dirt/grit getting in and blocking the orifice in the ballcock.
