I had plumber put in two new Grohe ceramic cartridges for 30 year old tub shower combination. The resulting water pressure is 1.4GPM which doesn't work to fill a tub (I have a Flume so it is pretty accurate). Grohe has told me the plumber should have checked for debris in the pipes, but he did, so that's not it. Oddly, if you look on the web, the cartridges Grohe told me to buy are listed for kitchen/lav faucets, and say they are rated 1.5GPM. Grohe says that's irrelevant. The only other thoughts I have are that the stops are failing, or that the spout with the diverter has a blockage somewhere. That said, is it worth more effort (and expense) if the rating of 1.5GPM is accurate? Here is the spec from the web: https://www.ussupply.com/grohe-4588...hand-cartridge-with-ceramic-sealing-disk.html
"GROHE Right-Hand Cartridge, 90 deg Closing, 1.5 gpm, Ceramic Filter for use with: Kitchen/Lavatory and 1/2 inch Wall Mount Valve, Chrome Plated"
Any ideas on best course of action?
