Hi All,
My newly-installed Jason roman tub (in newly-built house) makes lots of noise when the diverter valve is set to supply the tub spout. When set to supply the sprayer, the noise vanishes. Noise is rushing water sound and can be heard throughout the house. The installing plumber says the noise is due to the use of 3/4-inch pipe from diverter to spout, which is needed for large tubs. The main valves are at the head end of the tub, and the diverter, sprayer and spout at the foot end. So it's only the last 2 feet of run (from diverter to spout) that's involved in the noise. Would replacing the diverter valve likely improve situation? Or does use of 3/4-inch pipe necessarily mean noisy flow?
Thanks,
Reasen
