I have an old claw footed tub, with newer plumbing fixtures. There is a diverter valve that sits on top of the tub faucet and is changed with a handle that turns. This morning the shower began to dribble water, one minute it was okay and then it slowed to just drips.
The tub water faucet was fine, good pressure and flow so I assumed that there was a problem in the diverter itself plugging up fixture. I replaced a washer on the end of the stem of the diverter valve which was worn and although it is better it still isn't good.
I read on another list that I should take the valve out and run the water to flush out any debris. Is there something else this could be? Should I call a professional? I have a very good husband but he isn't all that handy.
