I recently installed a new Shower head, Diverter, and tub spout w/ diverter. When filling the tub shower head also sprays water. I removed the tub spout and turn the water on and the problem went away. I figured something was wrong with the tub spout, so I tried a different one and still had the same problem. It seems like the tub spout is adding the backpressure needed to make this happen. Is there a solution to this?

If have a diverter in shower valve then you don't need a tub spout with a diverter, just use tub spout with out a diverter, Thanks.

What's your house npressure? Do you have a PRV,(pressure reducing valve) installed? Back to you, Tom
