Shower diverter adjustment
Let me start by saying I an a renter suffering from half-assed maintenance.
They recently installed a shower diverter, but it requires an awful lot of water pressure in order to stay "open". As a result we are running out of hot water without being able to get through 2 short showers in the morning. With the water turned on hard, I can feel the diverter catch when I pull it open, but with less water it doesn't catch. I have taken off the knob and the chrome tube covering the brass fitting itself, but don't see anything that can be obviously adjusted. I don't know for sure the make, but the hot and cold knobs are from Kohler. Anyone have any idea? Thanks. |

Hey Cat,
First off, pull the shower head. If there's a rubber washer with holes around it then pry it out and toss it. It's a water saver and cuts down on your flow. How's your normal water pressure? Strong? Medium? Or Weak? Do you have a exploded view of the faucet you could scan and post to me? I can't pull anything up out if their web site. Regards, Tom |

The water in my shower comes out mostly from the tub faucet and not the shower faucet (which I assume is a problem with the diverter) but what I don't understand is that the water pouring out of the tub end is scalding hot, while the water coming out of the shower end is only warm. Then they both...
I replaced the shower diverter and seat due the shower and tub running at the same time and I still have the same problem. I have taken out the diverter numerous times and don't see anything wrong with it. ANy help would be appreciated. Oh, it is a sasco valve with a separate hot, cold and diverter...
