Having trouble with the shower. More water coming out of faucets than the shower. We replaced the diverter but this did not help. Any other ideas. Thanks

Maybe the shower head is blocked by small debris or mineral buildup. Because it super-aerates the water, its VERY prone to that.

THey usually have an input screen filter... and lacking that, you can soak the head in vinegar, or a product like CLR, meant fort calciu, lime or rust deposits.

But shower heads are cheap enough it might be easier to just replace it.

You say you replaced the diverter but something is still wrong. Possibilites are you missed an O ring or washer or may not have the exact part but it is your diverter still in failure

OK... I may have misread the question. If you mean more coming out of the tub faucet than the shower head... its what ballengerb1 said.

I thought they meant more water came out of the sink than the shower to indicate the bathroom was getting good pressure..
