    Condo building - water in sinks but NOT in shower?
    Hi All,
    Quick history. Earlier this week the water pump in my condo building was making a horrible noise. A guy came out and we got a new impeller. Seemed to be fine... then today I went to take a shower and not even a drip came out of the bathroom faucet. Now, I have water in my kitchen and my bathroom sinks. Just NOTHING in the bathtub.

    I will be calling a plumber, but just curious to see if you know what this is. Thanks!

    My guess is that minerals built up in the pipe walls were disturbed and got sucked up into your tub valve where it's now blocking the inlet ports of the valves cartridge. To tell you how to open up and clean your valve I'll need the brand name and it's age. Regards, Tom

My kitchen and bathroom sink have no water, period. Hot water seems to be pretty good to the bath and washer but cold water to those 2 locations are very weak. The outside faucet is very weak at best. I have had this problem for quite some time so it's not the fact that they are frozen. I just...
