My shower and bath water of both controlled by the same faucets, with an extra facet in the middle to change water flow form the bath tap to the shower head. Pretty standard stuff. Apparently out of the blue, the water no longer transfers to the shower head, when i turn the transfer faucet everything just stops. The water stop coming out of the bath but doesn’t come out of the shower head, except for just a trickle.
Cant think of what may have caused it, but i have been experimenting with differant shower heads lately.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

There is a little diverter behind that 'faucet' in the middle. It is very easy to repair. Remove the set screw holding the handle on and take it off. Remove the two screws holding that plate on. Remove the plate. There should be either a metal rod going into the wall or a metal flange. Remove the cotter pin or screw connecting it. Look inside and you will see your problem. You will either be able to pull it out from there and replace it or you will need to access it from the panel behind the pipes (probably in the other room! If there is one). Otherwise, it could be a real problem having to make an access to those pipes either from behind or right there in the shower enclosure.
Good Luck!

set up a low bypass bathe head, the hot ones nonetheless make it experience like the extremely element, and also you may take a lot longer showers with out understanding of warm water. The bathe tap would nicely be at fault from what you're saying. replacing the washers or cartridge might want to make a huge difference relying on the range of tap you've. In some taps the elements initiate to swell at the same time as heated, this cuts off bypass, and receives worse the longer you employ it.

Start by taking off the shower head there's usually a screen there take it out and clean if that's not it then the diverter, then the valve, then if you live in an apartment or flat the manager.

Sounds like the shower head is plugged. Take it off and see if water comes out. If it does just clean the head. If it doesn,t, it is is the shower valve and you will have to take it apart and see what the problem is.

Your water diverter to the shower head is broken.

if you have a lot of lime in the water,the head could be plugged. either replace it or take it off,then try it & see if water comes out of shower. the head can be soaked in vinager to loosen up lime,too.
