Possible Causes

Blocked outlet filter or aerators, Partially closed isolation valve, Scale buildup in outlet pipe or mixing valve, Collapsed flexible hose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power and allow water to cool if you will be disconnecting any hot pipes.

  • Check other taps: Compare flow at multiple outlets. If only one is affected, the issue is likely local to that tap.
  • Clean aerators: Remove and clean tap aerators and filters of debris and scale.
  • Inspect isolation valves: Ensure any hot outlet isolation valves near the Oso cylinder are fully open.
  • Service mixing valve: If all outlets are weak, the thermostatic mixing valve may be blocked. Isolate, remove, and descale or replace.
  • Check for kinks: Inspect any flexible hoses for kinks or collapse.
