Turn off the water supply from the heater and at the main water supply line outside. place a container under the sink where the flick mixer is mounted to catch the water that will come out of the lines when you undo the fittings.
there should be 2 flexible braided lines coming from the mixer to the water supply lines, undo both fittings from those lines, then undo the brass nut that fastens the mixer to the sink, you may need a 10 or 12mm socket with an extension bar to get up under the sink to be able to undo the nut.
there should be a metal horseshoe shaped retaining plate that holds the mixer to the sink which should come off when the nut is undone.
You may or may not have to remove the flexible lines from the mixer which you should be able to sort out when you get to that point.
I hope this info helps you with your problem, the info may not be exactly how I have explained but that is how most mixers are fitted or removed.
may have a screwed up washer seal on the hot side..it will stop the flow to a degree and allow more cold water in..calls for dismantling the entire control or replacing it..
You have to install anti knock pipes into your plumbing, it's quite common. Go to the local home center you can by pre made or make your own as I did when remodeling my basins. Good Luck..
hi Peter if you have a mixer tap there are no washers there is a ceramic cartridge in the centre but that should't be the fault
the most common rectification is to undo the airrator which is the filter that the water comes out of and clean any forein matter from it
If I understand this properly you have a push and pull rod behind the faucet arm that opens and closes the drain plug for your wash basin. If that is it then here is how it works.
Under the wash basin you will see the rod comes down and connects into an adjuster. This is usually a simple holder with a screw holding it in place. It can also be a metal clamp with two holes that the rod passes through. Both move over time and will cause the problem you describe.
For the screw type loosen the screw and adjust the rod until the drain opens and closes properly.
For the clamp type with two holes pinch the clamp to release the rod. Adjust the rod up and down until you find the right position.
If this does not do it there is one other part to the system. There will be a connection from the rod to the main drain. You will see a rod running into the main drain through a fitting. The fitting will have a ring holding it in place and keeping it from leaking water. You can open the fitting by turning with pliers. Inside is a ball and rod connecting to the drain plug. You can disengage from the plug and lift the plug out. Clean all hair etc off the plug and reinstall.
