[quote=Anonymous]The spout and the shower are connected together. Water will prefer to come out of the spout because it offers less resistance, when you close the diverter it's no longer the path of least resistance and water comes out of the shower instead. It sounds like your spout has just enough resistance that some of the water comes out of the shower. I know that this can be really annoying when you're trying to enjoy a soak. You could put a shutoff valve on the shower head, like this: https://www.amazon.com/shutoff-head%EF%BC%8CWater-Control-Pressure-Regulator/dp/B09V52H6BH/ref=sr_1_2_sspa I think any other solution is going to expensive and may not work -- a bigger pipe from the valve to the spout, a different style of valve that actually shuts off the shower when you're using the tub, an in-wall diverter valve. All of those involve tearing the wall open. [/quote]
