    Pull the cardtidge, springs and washers back out. Flush the valve by turning water on with cartridge removed(only for a couple of seconds). Clean cartridge, reinstall and let us know if it works.

    Thanks MGD77, Turns out a piece of calcium got up into the low flow head completely blocking it after the work. Ever think your going crazy?
