I am having a problem with the shower pressure in my head. It seems water is coming thru the faucet and the shower head but more through the faucet. When i pull up on the stick to switch the flow to the shower head it only comes up partly. Anyone have a similar experience? Maybe I just dont know how to use this thing? Thanks Ed

Prob'ly due to...

the higher head from the faucet to the shower head. The onboard water pressure is that high to beging with...add 5' of hose that goes straight up, and you're gonna lose some pressure. If you have an on/off "switch" on the shower head, you can see what I mean...leave it off for a few minutes...the pressure builds up in the hose from the shower head...dies as the pressure is relieved when you run the shower. On a boat, this is usually not considered a bad thing. The water supply is limited, and the idea is to save as much for drinking as possible, using as little for everything else as possible. In fact, someone once wrote that if you want to experience what it's like to take a shower on a sailboat, stand in a very small closet for 5 minutes with a bar of soap and very wet dog.

You might want to try pulling up on the shower divertor (you may need to hold it)and then turn on the water.

I want to totally divert to the shower... I

Shower head gets some and faucet gets some water

Still cannot pull the diverter up enough to get it locked and no water coming from the faucet. Is this just the way this unit works? Is faucet defective? Should I replace it? Thanks for any ideas Ed
