DH replaced shower/bath DIVERTER w_ all new parts- STILL doesn't work!
SITUATION: We have 2 houses that both have the SAME shower/bath diverter problem. (Houses differ in age and water pressure so I seriously doubt it's 'their' problem.) My husband replaced the diverters with all new parts in each of the houses...
:confused: WHY are we still getting water coming from both the shower head AND the tub faucet in each of the houses?? :confused: :mad:
The amount of the water leaking does change whenever we turn the diverter's handle (the shower runs a small stream while the tub's faucet is working great OR the tub's faucet runs a small stream while we're using the shower, and IT is running great.) It kind of reminds me of the little engine that 'could' only this little engine can NOT.
My husband didn't just replace parts HE thought he needed. For the first house, he referred to books. When that way failed, he took the old diverter stem AND pics of one of the houses w/ him to Lowe's to be sure he replaced "ALL the right parts."
Everything went in smoothly, my DH tightened everything in very tightly, but it didn't change a thing!
It's driving us c-r-r-A-z-y!! Please help us. If you have diagrams and/or pics, too, we'd be especially grateful!)
Thanks in advance for your helpful advice! :)
