Remove aerators from tap with a pliers or a wrench. Latter will not damage the Chrome so easily. And let the water run for some time, that should flush all the diet out. Meanwhile aerators can take a bath in warm vinegar.
The the shower fittings are mounted on Z-shaped pieces. In Taiwan they sometimes contain a valve try closing and opening them while the aerator is removed to loosen and remove dirt.
-Be careful with old fittings and valves as they can be sensitive.
-Don’t use excessive force.
That’s the problem with main building water towers. If it is shut off, water will come on and off for quite a long time. No idea why. At least last time I lived in such building it did that.
The house’s pipes gets empty and as most pipes here are more or less a rigid hose and not necessarily installed in a straight line you’ll get air pockets.
