Hi, I have a shower/tub in one. *Its where you pull the little chrome
bar up on the tap and the water then comes out of the shower head

therefore the water will only come out of the tap in the tub and
nothing comes out of the shower head. * I noticed just before it broke
my little 1 year old had his finger in the tap portion, but I have no
idea what he did to it. *Its a fairly new tub only about 2 years old.
I believe its Moen, but can't guarantee that.


It's typically the water pressure that holds the lever up. When you
engage the lever, the pressure against the back of the flap blocks the
path for the water and it is forced upward to the shower.

Is it possible that your son has somehow disengaged the flap so it's
not stopping the water any more?


Thanks all, I got it fixed. It appears the diverter was slightly
loose.
