Nothing like being waterless to make you really appreciate being able to have a shower and flush the loo.
Filter blockage was mentioned.
Do you have PayPal? That'll be £1-50 please.
Glad it's sorted.

it should be remembered we don't all have gas and this is particularly so out in the countryside where electricity and an immersion heater may be pretty much the only if not the best option to have hot water. They are also a must if you have E7. I have a large well-insulated cylinder that stores the water which heats overnight providing enough for a whole day in most instances.
Did not relise that still some of the country did not have gas.

Thanks for your help, though.
As for my diagnosis fee.....it's usually £110-00 but I gave you a forum discount

It was the only feasible explanation, that there was more than one feed to the house and one was blocked.

If fact would think it should be fitted before the Pump.

Re: Advice please - water problem
NopeThe water is drawn from a foot valve in the well to the pump, this is then sent to a storage tank with a base filter.
It then goes to the outlet(house)
I expect there must be 2 outlets from this tank, both serving the house as one side worked and the other did t there must be two filters and one blocked with sediment, this would only be possible if the tank wasn't level and the sediment only affected one filter.
If the system was a one filter- 2 feed system then all taps/outlets would have suffered the same.
This is only my opinion, based on what we know and guesswork.

I missed that.
Anyway, however many T offs the blockage must be on the supply to those taps, wherever it may be.
