Tom -
Fully dismanteled both 1600's and with returned wrater pressure a steady small stream pours from both faucets. I tried indiviually pluggung the holes the springs were in with my finger. When I plug one I get a real heathy hot water stream, and when I plug the second hole I get no stream at all. I am about to reassemble and test again.
EDIT - Assembled
Tom you are 100% the legend you've been made out to be. I have both hot and cold pressure in shower /tub configuation. The shower only has total hot and cold pressure. YOU DA MAN!
I installed a euro showerhead due to lack of flow in the shower only when I moved in. I am on my way back to the hardware store to buy a normal showerhead - as my front shower/tub flow is NOW way stronger than my shower only!
I also disconnected and flushed the hoses and supply ports to the washing machien - the intake strainer screen (cold side) was full of crunchy deposits and loaded with Teflon tape shavings... Someone didnt flush the washer's lines before the installed the washer.
Thank you SO much
Alex
PS I moderate a cite of my area of expertise, and its really rare to find people who know exactly what they are talking about in the automotive tuning commuinty. You more than certainly do in the plumbing arena! THANKS AGAIN!
