I have a Mixet shower faucet (MDXTR-5) (http://www.plumbingproducts.com/mixet.html). In the last several months, the cold side of the faucet has been having a very low water pressure. The hot side has a good pressure. The house is 11 years old, and I've lived there just for a year, so I don't know for sure how old the faucet is.
I found another post (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/plumbing/low-water-pressure-cold-side-shower-faucet-14347.html) on this site, that suggests there may be a blockage in the faucet.
Since the shower pipes are inclosed in the wall, and there is no valve, would I need to close the watter supply to the house in order to open up the valve and pull out all the parts? I heard that putting all the parts back together into the wall may be tricky. Is this job too complex for a lay person, or is it worth calling a plumber?
Thanks
