Lost of pressure in all cold/hot taps

[calimero]

Ok I re-connected the pipe the way it was prior to fitting the filtration system. Pressure is back to normal and now have water. I guess there was some sort of blockage in the spin filter fitting and/or the entire system caused dramatic pressure drop. I will need to investigate the matter in the good time. I am done with plumbing for now. Thanks for helping out.

Your symptoms were classic blocked filter strainer behaviour. The pressure is not affected, the flow rate is affected by the restriction. with the tap closed, the system fills/comes up to pressure, a tap is opened and the flow is initially good and then fizzles out because the supply cannot keep up with demand.

I'm glad you got it sorted but for anyone who has a system displaying this behaviour at the outlets, strainers and filters are always the first place to look. This is especially common as a problem on unvented cylinders where the strainer has blocked or rotted away leaving a rusty blockage. Any pressurised system with a filter can display these symptoms when blocked.
