Why is my shower diverter not working properly?
Common Problems with Diverter Valves. As tub diverter valves age, they become worn. Sediment also builds up, causing the valve to malfunction. If the valve cannot turn all the way to block the tub faucet, there will be less pressure to push the water up the pipe to the shower and water will be coming from both the shower and the faucet.
