I HAVE AN AIR LOCK IN THE MIXER TAP ON THE HAND BASIN IN THE BATHROOM. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAR THE BLOCKAGE BY ATTACHING A PIECE OF HOSE TO TRY AND FORCE THE WATER BACK( NOT VERY EASY AS THE TAP IS NEW STYLE MIXER AND I HAD DIFFICULTY MAKING A SECURE CONNECTION.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

Hi mate, Firstly What type of system to do you have, Sealed, Gravity or a Combi. Are you sure its an Airlock as thats Extremely RARE especially being in just the Basin Tap.

Few things you can try.

- Try removing the filter (gauze) in the spout of the tap, it generally screws off and give it a good clean.

- Do you have Stops valves fitted??.. if so, take them off and try without them.

-Could be a dodgy tap, replace and try a new one.
