After replacing Moen cartridge, still little water pressure, how can I fix?
After some hot water heater problems, I got no water pressure in the tub/shower. I replaced the cartridge (one an knock off that slides real easy and when that did not work I used a ‘genuine Moen replacement part’) Both to no avail. I still get very little water pressure. I called Moen and they suggested sticking a wire where the cartridge goes and try to ream out any debris in the small holes that bring in water and go to the tub. (be careful not to scratch the tube the cartridge goes in) Still no luck, either I really can’t get far enough into the holes to do anything, the holes are to small or there is a bigger problem. I ran the water with out the cartridge in and I get plenty of water flow. Moen assures me that the valve is so simple, that nothing can go wrong with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mine does not have the half dollar/loony size pressure valve on the side of the valve.
