The single lever mixer tap over the kitchen sink on my Abbey Aventura has stopped working. When I lift the lever the pump draws water from the Aquaroll but I am only getting a few drips out of the tap. The washroom tap works fine.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it.

Tim

its either air in the pipes or, it could be the small filter in the nozzle of the tap. if it has one it will unscrew where the water comes out the tap.

It might be the pressure switch on the actual tap, if it has this type of system.

Try it again whilst the washroom tap is running. The Washroom tap will start the pump and pressurise the sink tap.

If it runs, then it will be it's pressure switch.

could be the famous non return valve.do you have a carver two heater? could be a micro switch problem. open kitchen tap then switch on bathroom tap if the pump runs and you get water from both it is definitely the micro switch. see also

I,ve sorted it. It was the filter in the nozzle of the tap that was blocked up with some mouldy gunge!
Thanks for that Bill and thanks to all who replied.
