the water can come out the spout, but does not come out the shower head. I have to turn it off and it will come back, but only for a minute or so

  1. there are three possibilities.

    All new showers have several features one being an anti back-flow device that could be clogged or malfunctioning.

    another is a hot sensor that will shut your water off when it reaches temperatures too high.

    Lastly  and the probable cause is a flow restriction/water saver. The best thing to do is look inside your hose and remove with a s***w driver anything not allowing for a full flow. repeat this with your shower head and you are sure to be removing any of these features many problems and failures as well.

    best of luck.


  2. personally i think your diverter is broken.  you claim water comes out of the tub fine, so that tell me it's the diverter.  

    you don't say what kind of diverter you have whether it's on the tub spout or you have a three handle shower valve or ???

  3. pull the core out of the shower  controll and soak and clean in clean white vinegar, scrub to shiny metal then reasssemble its all caked up w/ lime scale
