Default Not enough water from shower head - most of it coming from the faucet

When I turn the water on in my shower it works just fine coming out of
the faucet, however when I turn the diverter to bring it through the
shower head, most of the water still drains from the faucet and there
is not enough water from the shower head.


I replaced a pull-up faucet diverter with a new one after measuring 8% of
the water coming out of the faucet in shower mode. The new one leaked 6%,
so I replaced it with a brass quarter-turn valve. No leakage now.

You.ve still got problems, Sounds like clogged plumbing to me. New fuacet
could have been bad too or you may not have enough water pressure to make
the pull up valve work.
