80s era Delta single handle tub/shower faucet with push botton diverter. No water from the shower head! Went to the local Lowes & gota replacement Delta RP5649 Diverter & the 27/32″ wrench to replace. Ez swap out.
Fix did little to improve water flow from shower head. Am I missing something? Or should I do like the Pros & just replace the Tub Spout with one of the built in diverters?
