    Sure sounds like you've disturbed some minerals built up on the pipe walls that got sucked up in the system and is now cvlogging the inlet ports on your faucets. The solution woulkd be to turn the water off to the faucets and open them up. Check and clean the inlet ports on the cartridges.
    Before you reassemble turn on the hot water to flush out the supplies and open valve bodys. Reassemble and test. Good luck. Tom
