How clean is my drinking water? Fixing a blocked / stuck valve

Our Municipal water supply was very dirty previously, and caused the inlet filter screen to block up, but this time around, it was a stuck check-valve causing the blockage... I guess we live and learn...

Your pump and filter arrangement may be different to this one, however you should still be able to use the information in this video to help guide you through a suitable repair for your system.
