Where would the tub filter be?
Usually there isn't a filter. Is it a single or three knob? Usually you can
remove the whole cartridge from the valve and clean it out.

Hi James,
Here is a picture of the tub.

It is a "single".

Are you saying the filter is behind the hot/cold selector knob?

Naw, the whole mess gets clogged up. You need to disassemble it (turn
the water OFF first). If it's more than a few years old--or even if it
isn't, it wouldn't hurt--get a 'kit' of replacement parts from your
local dealer first. Usually there's nothing to maintaining these 'one
handle' units (not familiar with your particular one) besides
disassembly/reassembly with new rubber anyway. Save you the trouble
down the road. Take a picture, or the old parts for exact replacements.

Once you have it apart, turn on the water slightly to flush it out.
Turn it off again and reassemble after cleaning and replacing the old
rubber/plastic that came with the new kit.

After what you've been through, this should be a piece of cake....
