    When you replaced the tub valve cartridge, did you flush the lines to clear any debris.

    You have a volume issue, it just seems like pressure is the problem. Remove that cartridge AFTER you shut down your main and allow the pressure to be relieved. With the cartdige out cover the opening with a big towel and have someone else open the main just for about 5 seconds. It may get messy but that will clear out the lines. Reinstall the cartidge, turn the main on and test. Letus know how it is
