The shower/tub spigot in one of our bathrooms has a peculiar problem. It is isolated to JUST this line. The other lines in the house, including the sink in this bathroom and the bathroom right behind it (master bath), are FINE. When you turn on the water the pressure is fine for about 7-10 secs. and then drops about in half (if you turn it off and wait about 5 secs. before turning it back on - same thing). It doesn't matter whether it is coming from the tub spigot or diverted to the shower head. I replaced the Moen cartidge and it made no difference whatsoever. Also, I removed the tub spigot, leaving the 1/2 inch pipe. With the spigot off, and water coming directly out the pipe, same result !!! Also got the same result(drop in pressure) by turning the water on when the Moen cartridge was removed allowing the water to come out of the cylinder that holds the cartridge. I am completely puzzled !! Keep in mind that it is JUST this line that has this problem !!! Any help would be most appreciated.
