[C320-list] Domestic water

[SARA SCHROEDER]

I had a similar issue where the flow of the domestic water from the galley sink started to diminish the completely stopped on the hot side. The problem was a defected water restrictor that had been placed in the line right under the sink.  I removed it and did not replace it. No problems since then.
