Help!
I have a 3 stem shower and the center diverter is leaking. I went to home depot and purchased new stems (including the diverter), replaced everything, and the center diverter still leaks! How do I get it to stop?

At the time that you had everything apart did you check the seats for nicks or rough spots? Let me know, Tom

Yes I did. There are no rough spots or nicks. What else could be causing the leaking in the diverter?

When you replaced the stems and the diverter did you flush the faucet before the installation, if not remove them check the seats for nicks or rough spots as Tom says, if you find any problem replace the seats. Before assembling the faucet turn on the water for a few seconds to flush any debris, good luck.
