I had an old shower diverter from the 1980s, however things were sturdy back in the day. :|
To turn the shower off, I would just push down the diverter, without Even turning off the shower knob first. It lasted for 30 years.
When I get a new spout & diverter, it kept breaking/getting stuck. Had to replace the spout/diverter many times.
Someone told me correct way to turn off shower these days is:
1) First turn off Water Knob
2) And then the diverter is pushed down second (sometimes they are automatic though).
Is that true?
Also reverse, to Turn On Shower knobs,
1) should I turn on water knob first,
2) or first hold the Diverter up, and then turn on shower knob?
Feel like second grade, just learning about this; but I guess knobs, spouts, and diverters were built differently back then.
