    Problem with New Tub Spout

    Thanks, GrumpyPlumber and jadnashua. The three holes that you see in the photo are actually for the overflow (the cover is missing). This tub has a "deep soak" feature, or in other words, a high overflow. Thanks for the other tips as well - vapor barrier, etc. Is it possible that there...

    Does anyone know what would cause the water to come out of a tub spout like this (see attached photo)? Instead of coming out in one stream, it is coming out in all directions, like a kitchen sink faucet without an aerator. Some of the water is even going back towards the direction of the...
