    My cold tap turned on full blast on its own?
    The cold tap in my bath turned itself on full blast! It took me two full turns to turn it back off so I have no idea how this could have happened! Can anybody help?

    Too much pressure and / or loose cartridge. Take off the handle. If there is bonnet nut than tighten it.
