Diverter valves turn the distribution of water between the tub faucet and the showerhead. The water pipe which links to the bathroom faucet additionally extends vertically to meet up with the showerhead. Drinking water moves straight throughout the faucet and into the bathtub whenever the diverter valve is open. Or perhaps, into the drain in the situation of an outdoor shower (more on this in our Ultimate Guide to Outdoor Showers). If you are wishing to work the shower just, you would have to raise the lever at the diverter valve. In that way, it produces the pressure, which forces the water to flow up and from the showerhead.
