Thank you. I'm new at this. I bought a replacement cartridge-this is a stupid question, but are there supposed to be springs and gaskets between the outer cartridge and the casing? Here's a picture of the old parts. I don't think the new part (RP70538 ) came with these...I thought I'd ask before I disassemble it for the 5th time Thanks!Either incorrect cartridge, installed upside down, you left something inside, or you failed to do a quick flush of the valve body before reinstalling cartridge. I'm sure more folks will chime in, but without seeing pics, this is only a guess.
No worries sometime I know what I'm saying ......but no one else doesGeofd meant to say, take the shower head off, and see if water comes out of the shower arm.
Sorry Geofd, just trying to clarify.
Some shower heads have very tiny flow restrictors.
A tiny water passage that is easily plugged up.
You might have dislodged minerals or rust when you worked on the cartridge.
I THINK I GOT IT! There wereno seats and springs with the cartridge I ordered. Hopefully this will fix the problem. Thanks all!Thank you. I'm new at this.

Thanks Mark!Here is a complete picture according to a listing on ebay. There should be two tapered springs. There is also a small O-ring whose purpose I have not determined. If worst comes to worse, just put a plastic flow control valve between the shower outlet and head, until you can get the complete cartridge kit.
