Hello!
I have a two knob faucet with a pull-up lever on the spout for the bath tub which diverts the water to the showerhead. When I went to pull the lever up today to turn the showerhead on, there was nothing. It stopped the water going to the tub, but nothing was coming through the showerhead. I removed the showerhead and tried again, but all I could hear was a sound like air in the pipe. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Its possible the divertor is clogged or going past the position to send the water to the shower head.
Hopefully it isn't a broken pipe between the shower head and divertor
Just a guess best of luck

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. I didn't know the divertor could go past the proper position. Thanks for the help!

One of two things come to mind. The water pressure's not high enough to move the water up the shower raiser or there's a blockage in the shower raiser. Tom

Thanks for the ideas. It just quit working one day, would water pressure suddenly drop like that? How can I check this? Thanks again!

would water pressure suddenly drop like that? How can I check this? I offer that as just one possibility. Buy a pressure gage (100 PSI) at your hardware store and fittings to adapt it to a hose bib.
