You have to watch sometime when cleaning the washer system, cause believe it or not the washer system can harbor legionnaires disease

Glad you got sorted though its a bugger when they dont work
Indeed, most washer systems carry that disease, I have to be particularly careful in my job.

The calgon tab didn't help at all-in fact it made mine worse lol. But it was only a 10 min job which even the simplest of people can master so I thought I'd share with those who have the same trouble
