where is a "diverter" located in a kitchen sink?

I think mine may be going and if this isn't a massive job to replace, I'll do it myself.

But..DUH..I have no idea what one looks like or where it is. Is it normally found at the base of the faucet neck?

mine in a delta single handle is on the side, years ago in our old house it was in the center of the spout. it appears they are easy to spot, so who made your faucet?

You have to put the whole quesion in the text of the question. Not everyone can read it otherwise.

actually, unless you're using some early 80's tin reader, the subject line always shows up. What reader are you referring to that people can't see the subject line of a post?

Someone else a few days ago said he couldn't see the subject. Maybe it's just so far from the text he doesn't notice it. That's the case with me so I just don't look at the subject. When I read a essay or a book, I expect to see the content within it, and not have to read the title.

And hallerb's answer said they are easy to spot, so he might be a third person.

If the OP wants good answers, he shouldn't rely on what people might do, or what the program might do. He should tell people what they need to know to answer the qustion.

Oh, you're the OP. I was trying to help you post well. Do you want to get good answers for your questions, or do you want to play games with us and ignore good form because of your feelings about software?

Ciome on, I can't believe you read *every single post* because you "can't read the subject line*. Please, at least be remotely plausible in your replies.

Additionally, regardless of WHAT my subject line or content is, you've provided no valuable input at all. Instead, you've done nothing but try to be a net nanny. Which, if you haven't noticed, has and will have little effect on my posting habits.

I never said I read every single post, and I don't. For a variety of reasons, I don't see subjects. I click on a thread based on any one word in the subject and expect to see the rest of the topic explained in the body. I choose a thread because it's as short or as long as I'm interested in at the moment. I read posts consecutively, until I get bored. I read posts consecutively at the bottom, where no one has answered.

No matter what you imagine are my habits, I know for sure that I see quite a few posts that I can't understand, and when I bother to check, it's usually because essential facts were in the subject line only. But I rarely check anymore, and I just keep going.

I know. Sometimes people here and on other ng's will point out that someone didnm't provide enough facts and then they'll go on in detail about every possibility that the poster could have said but didn't. Like whether they have an electric or gas water heater, or oil, gas, or electric heat. So there's no incentive for the guy to think about his problem first and post all the facts. It doesn't even have to be first. Some people ask, Is the stove gas or electric? and often the guy never posts back. I'm not as good-natured in these situations as the ones who answer in detail even without getting a clear question.

And I also notice that no one other than hallerb and I have replied, and like I implied, I don't think his response was right because he didn't see your subject.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he'll eat forever.

I've only read one more post from you. And I can't notice the future.

Please...save the tired old quotes for someone else. Also, just because YOU, (and apparently only you), have some inept ability to read and retain the subject line long enough to conprehend the rest of the text, I'll chalk this up to you, once again, trying to be a self appointed net nanny.

Also, I have yet to see you provide any substance whatsover to this topic.

oh, and btw, you're using Agent 1.93. Which *always* shows the subject line in the box separator above the text of the thread you opened. So, either you're blind or don't know how to configure a simple newsreader like Agent.

It's there. But it's black with a grey backgound. I don't see it. I stopped seeing it long ago.

then this isn't a "global" problem. This is a problem with *your* newsreader. Fix the problem instead of making everyone else work around you.

This doesn't mean I couldn't see it if I tried. I ignore it like I ignore the ads on webpages. The full scope of the question should be in the text box. Hallerb didn't answer your question, did he? That's because you didn't include the details of your question in the text.

No it's not. That's the way it works. That's the way all of them work from version 3 back to version .99 . I don't know remember if version 4 is the same.

"Everyone else"! You're the unusual one who doesn't include the full question in the text. There is a small number like you but less than

5%. Read the original posts here and you'll see what I mean.

Now that you chidren are thru the diverter is under the spout on Delta Meon and most other single handle taps. Depending on the age. This should be covered under warranty and is not to diffulcult to do. If you can,t do it take taps to local store they can probaly do it for you.

..then quit complaining. It's YOU that has the problem. No one else.

yes it is.

No, that's NOT the way it works. I was a beta tester and a developer for Agent for many years. I also use Agent, Many people use Agent. I don't know any of the tens of thousands of users of Agent that's everr had a problem with seeing the subject line in a pane border.

You just messed up your view and now you want everyone else to work around your inability to properly fix it. Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around you and your poblems.. Get used to it.

Not really. continuing a sentence in a post is quite common. However, it's not rocket science to:

  1. comprehend a post that's posted in that manner.
  2. configure your newsreader so it's not so difficult for you to read a post properly.

I actually found on the Moen site a blow up which shows where the diverter is on my model.

Of course, HD doesn't stock that particular part. I'm going to try Lowes today.

The diverter is located under the spout. The spout is unscrewed and looking down into the hole after removing the faucet is the diverter. I'm not exactly sure how to remove it and it seems really wedged down in there.

However, why would only the COLD water be affected? The separate pull out spray uses both hot and cold but only the cold shudders and shuts off. Shouldn't both hot and cold water be affected by a bad diverter?

And you don't think the subject line is in black letters with a grey background. Oh, please.

I didn't say it was a problem, did I? I don't see it because I don't want to. It's a distraction. People should write a good post if they want help. It's not rocket science to post well. Try it.

holy crap..you really *are* that stupid. Change you color scheme.

I'm done with you. You can't figure out how to corrrect your Agent problem , or as you say, don't want to (probably more like too lazy to figure it out), so you want everyone else to work around your ineptitude.

You're so stubborn it simulates stupid. There is no color scheme for the subject line above the text of the message.

I'm as ept as anyone. You're in the less than 5% who can't be bothered to write a complete message and expect people to go look in the subject line. In this case one could guess that some essential fact was missing, but in other cases it's probably even more misleading.
