Ok I just got my attic re-piped with PEX and left the verticals galvanize. thanks to those who helped in the other posts.
The plumber who did the re-pipe also tossed in the new Moen cartridge in for me. However I still don't get cold water, its more of a just warm or hot. (this was going on before the repipe....I thought is was just a bad cartridge.)
He recommend removing the cartridge, flushing the valve and looking inside to see if i saw any blockage. He also stated i might need to replace the valve.
So my question to you guys......What is the best way to clean the inside of the valve? CLR, White vinegar? If i can clean it it would be so much easier and cheaper then replacing it.
thanks
EDIT-----Valve is a standard Moen valve. Pull to turn on.
